<cfif not IsStruct(arguments.struct[prop]) OR IsObject(arguments.struct[prop])>
This works like a charm, even for arrays. Is there a universal way to find out what type some variable is? As in, is there a GetMetaData() that will work on anything, returning "string", "numeric", "date", "productDAO", etc? Or is this the job of a UDF?
Here's my final function if anyone's interested :) Incidentally, the problem this function addresses is described here: http://forta.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=e&entry=1564
<cffunction name="structNormalize" returnType="struct" output="false" access="public"
hint="Format a structure for use in AMF data transfer by normalizing the case of all keys.">
<cfargument name="struct" type="struct" required="true" hint="Struct to Normalize" />
<cfargument name="case" type="string" required="false" default="upper" hint="The case to use: upper or lower" />
<cfset var retStruct = structNew() />
<!--- This function will loop over a structure and rebuild it using array notation to specify
the desired case for all keys. If there are any substructures, the function will
call itself recursively. --->
<cfloop collection="#arguments.struct#" item="prop">
<cfif not IsStruct(arguments.struct[prop]) OR IsObject(arguments.struct[prop])>
<cfif arguments.case EQ "upper">
<cfset retStruct['#UCase(prop)#'] = arguments.struct[prop] />
<cfelse>
<cfset retStruct['#LCase(prop)#'] = arguments.struct[prop] />
</cfif>
<cfelse>
<cfif arguments.case EQ "upper">
<cfset retStruct['#UCase(prop)#'] = structNormalize(arguments.struct[prop]) />
<cfelse>
<cfset retStruct['#LCase(prop)#'] = structNormalize(arguments.struct[prop]) />
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfreturn retStruct />
</cffunction>

Well, you're turning your components into structs. Regardless of
whether a component or a struct comes in, you always return a struct.
