Oh -- Well, that makes me look rather silly then, doesn't it! I'll run through the docs again and pay closer attention. I had cfdump'ed a TransferObject when I was testing, so I must have either set it up wrong in the configuration or missed the method.

You can do this already. You just set up a one to many join in your Transfer configuration, and then when you have a Book you say something like "getAuthorArray()" (if you told Transfer that you want the relationship to use an array) and you get back an array of Author objects associated with the book. You don't need a decorator or TQL if you're just pulling related records. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
