I am wondering how people are solving the following issue in the real world.
I am struggling to understand Flash Remoting with Coldfusion. I know it should make my life a whole lot easier but at the moment it's not reallyh helping :) All of the examples I find on the net are too straightforward; select a table query and return that to flash (or in my case flex). But in my situation, I want to return a joined recordset. How do I return that recordset while maintaining the advantages of "object on server is object in client"? I can return the whole query without problems of course (plain old returntype=query) but what do I do after I get that recordset in flash/flex? Is it still nescesarry to parse out that resultset to make objects out of the recordset? Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of remoting? (I used to do that in my xml communication days too). While I am busy, might as well ask the following question to the Coldfusion Remoting guru's out there too: What is best practice to let CF retujrn to Flash? In code examples I see a lot of 'query' being returned. But doesn't this go against the purpose of communicating only "Objects" between the two layers? In my head I have this image of letting Coldfusion return an Array of (e.g.) Person objects, when I execute a (e.g.) getPerson command.
