Even though I seem to have a solution (see my recent posting) I am curious about your suggestion. I think you are saying that if I ever want to transfer a CF complex structure I can use CFWDDX to serialize it.
My questions are: Does that mean that the guy at the other end must be CF so that it can use the CFWDDX tag to deserialize it, or ... Or, if I want to save it in a file, I could serialize it with cfwddx, save the serialized string in a file. To get it back I would read the file, deserialize it and poof, I have the original structure. Yeah?
