BUT there's a way around this limitation. Jeff Peters' book; Lists Arrays and Structures, pages 137-142 You convert structures to strings (xml data set) by serializing them using CFWDDX. Good example is a shopping cart. <cfwddx action="CFML2WDDX" input="#variables.cart#" output="client.cart"> Then deserialize it with action="WDDX2CFML". Cool for saving complex data in Client scope.
