Dean,
This got pushed into my junk mail.
What is making the call to the web service? If it is JavaScript, which it
sounds like, then the result needs to be in a format that can be parsed by js.
JavaScript does not understand CF objects hence the need to serialize the
result or transform it to XML and parse the XML on the client side. Another
option for doing that is to set the return format of the function to json,
which can be done on the fly by passing the parameter into the function when a
json result is required (returnformat=json).

Hi David,
Yes, the tmpAddress variable is var scoped at the top of the method. I tried
your suggestion of re-initializing the struct with each iteration, but it did
not change the results.
I've been doing some more testing and have found that, if I serialize the
entire result to JSON prior to returning the data to the calling client, that
the structures inside the array are populated properly. So the issue is when
passing the results back as a CF struct. Again though, this is only if the CFC
is called as a webservice, it works fine when called directly from a CF
template. Quite odd.

Dean,
First, is tmpAddress var scoped at the top of your function?
I would try initializing tmpAddress on each iteration.
for (var Address in Deal.getAddresses()){
tmpAddress = StructNew();
}

Ok, I just tried calling the same method directly from a CF template
and the structures populated properly. It is only when I am calling it
as a webservice that the structs are empty.

Thanks Rodney. I was hoping that what you suggested would work, but
unfortunately, it did not. I tried it in both ACF 10 and ACF 11. I'm
still left with empty structs inside the array.

I believe you are just passing a reference of the tmpAddress to the
array, so it is being overridden with each loop. Try the following
to insert a copy of the structure into the array instead:
ArrayAppend(results.Deal.addresses,duplicate(tmpAddress));

I have a remote method which is retrieving a deal object,
populating a structure and returning it to the client requesting
it. This is all well and good. However, the deal object has
multiple address objects
associated
to it. When looping over these addresses, I am having trouble
adding
them
to an array. Here is my code:
for (Address in Deal.getAddresses()){
tmpAddress.street = Address.getStreet();
tmpAddress.street2 = Address.getStreet2();
tmpAddress.city = Address.getCity();
tmpAddress.state = Address.getState();
tmpAddress.postalcode = Address.getPostalcode();
tmpAddress.phone = Address.getPhone();
ArrayAppend(results.Deal.addresses,tmpAddress);
}
The problem that I am having is that the results.Deal.addresses
key
ends up
with an array of empty structures, the total number matching the
total addresses associated to this deal. So in my test case, the
deal that I
am
working on has a single address, so the results.Deal.addresses
key is an array with on empty structure in it (no keys). However,
if I don't try
to
append to the array by doing this:
for (Address in Deal.getAddresses()){
tmpAddress.street = Address.getStreet();
tmpAddress.street2 = Address.getStreet2();
tmpAddress.city = Address.getCity();
tmpAddress.state = Address.getState();
tmpAddress.postalcode = Address.getPostalcode();
tmpAddress.phone = Address.getPhone();
results.Deal.addresses = tmpAddress; }
The results.Deal.addresses key is now a struct and all the
address keys assigned properly, so I know the tmpAddress struct
is being populated properly. Does anyone have any thoughts as to
what might be going on? I
am
running ACF 10 and yes, I have var scoped the results, Deal and
tmpAddress
variables at the top of the method. I also tried adding local
to the Address variable in the for loop, but it did not help.
Thansk,
