I thought about that, but I don't see the value in deserializing a WDDX package on the .NET side as I don't think it will break down into .NET usable components. What I am working on now is an XML structure that .NET will parse through and create objects from. It should be easy enough to create the XML components, but as a full-featured package, I would think that there would be some way to pass custom classes from CF to .Net as long as there is a description on both sides. The description exists fine in .NET as a class - the CFC on the CF side seems to exist as well, but CF won't actually send the component to the .NET webservice - it claims there is a datatype mismatch (Java error, actually). I can't see the harm in passing any datatype to a webservice (after all, they are all strings) and letting the webservice figure out what the object is, or letting the type of the object be cast as the type that the webservice uses.
