RE: CFLocation and Passing Complex Data

[Jay Sudowski - Handy Networks LLC]

A simple solution to this URL truncation problem may be to create a
table in your database to use a storage repository for the WDDX packet,
insert the WDDX packet into the db, and then just pass a UUID through
the URL variable, retrieve the wddx packet from the db, and then
recreate your structure.

First Template
<cfwddx action="CFML2WDDX" input="#myStruct#" output="packet">
<cflocation url="sometemplate.cfm?packet=#urlencodedformat(packet)#">

Second template

<cfwddx action="WDDX2CFML" input="#url.packet#" output="myStruct">

myStruct now exists in second template. Again be careful if this is
complex or it may get truncated by browser
