tracker issue : CF-3040398

Problem:

For non-persistent objects (.ie. persistent="false"), the 'default' attribute for the 'property' meta data does not set a default value.
Method:

1) CREATE CFCcomponent accessors="true" persistent="false"  {property name="firstName" default="abcd";property name="lastName" default="efgh";public Artists function init() {return this;}}2) OUTPUT DATA<cfdump var="#artists.getFirstName()#"/><cfdump var="#artists.getLastName()#"/><cfoutput>#artists.getFirstName()#</cfoutput><cfoutput>#artists.getLastName()#</cfoutput>HOWERVERIf I make the cfc persistentcomponent accessors="true" persistent="true" table="Artists"  {property name="artistid" fieldtype="id" generator="native"; property name="firstName" default="abcd";property name="lastName" default="efgh";public Artists function init() {return this;}}The 'property' meta data 'default' attribute sets the default values like it should.CURRENT WORKAROUNDS  for non-persistent objects1) set default values with setters in the constructorcomponent accessors="true" persistent="false"  {property name="firstName";property name="lastName";public Artists function init() {setFirstName('abcd');setLastName('efgh');return this;}}2) USE PARAM/CFPARAMcomponent accessors="true" persistent="false"  {property name="firstName";property name="lastName";param name="firstName" default="abcd";param name="lastName" default="efgh";public Artists function init() {return this;}}NOTE: using param/cfparam will create keys (for firstName, lastName, etc.) as upper case in your variables scope, where as using setters in the constructor will preserve the case used in the 'property' meta data
Result:

There's no error message here, just counterintuitive behavior, or it just doesn't work.
