RE: Trouble with ArrayAppend
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.

Re: Trouble with ArrayAppend
I think, though I may be incorrect, that you need to explicitly declare your
Address var in the loop:
for (var Address in Deal.getAddresses()){
...
}
You may also want to try creating a variable for Deal.getAddresses() outside of
the loop:
var allAddresses=Deal.getAddresses();
for (var Address in allAddresses){
...
}
