If you use introspection with the cfcexplorer, you also see the attributes

Hint, Req. Implemented In, Default Value

The following attributes are not documented. Their values are displayed when using introspection, but they have no effect on the component or web service behavior:

hint
displayname
default
required

The "Implemented in" filed of the introspection display is the name of the component.
