If I recall correctly, it's actually discussed directly within the CF
documentation. But basically, it boils down to creating CFC instances to
replace structures. For example, if you wanted to have information about a
person in a structure, you would instead define and use a CFC to represent
that information. Your CFC would have nothing but CFPROPERTY tags, which
would essentially be used to provide named properties that would correspond
to your structure keys; something like this:
<cfcomponent>
<cfproperty name="FirstName" type="string" ...>
<cfproperty name="LastName" type="string" ...>
</cfcomponent>
Then, within your web service, instead of returning a structure (or an array
of structures), you'd return a Person object (or an array of Person
objects).
