It doesn't break your AS2 code. The naming of the tag is confusing, especially when you expect consistency with the Flex 1.5 settings. That's why they added the following comment: <!-- ActionScript 1.0 and ColdFusion use case insensitive data structures to store associative arrays, objects and structs - the Java representation of these datatypes requires a case-insensitive Map, which the gateway achieves by looking up all keys in lowercase. If case insensitivity is desired then this setting should be set to true. ActionScript 2.0 is now case sensitive, but setting this to true will allow ColdFusion to look up keys case insensitively, and will not actually change the case of the keys. For AS 2.0 to java this should be false, since both are case sensitive. --> Best, Vinny -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Eismann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: dinsdag 8 februari 2005 12:57 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] OT: Relation between CFMX7 and Flex Hi Vinny, > I did not dive into the inner workings of the gateway, but there is > one new feature that will definitely interest you: the lower keys tag > in the gateway-config.xml file.

The way I understand this setting (for the Flex gateway) is that setting lowercase-keys to true forces all keys passed over the wire to lower case, i.e. a key mixedCaseIdentifier would be transferred as mixedcaseindentifier which is OK for ActionScript 1.0 (as it's not case sensitive) and CF but not for Java or AS 2.0 - but setting this to true on the CF gateway would still force all keys to lower case which would probably break your AS 2.0 code as it is case sensitive, or am I wrong? Another thing; Is CF now really caring about case when calling a CFC via RemoteObject and the CFC returns an instance of a CFC? I used to return structs from CFCs and decorated them with the _remoteClass identifier - any news on this field? > 1.

Currently, FlashPaper is great as a standalone document format but it does not play very well when loaded into another SWF app. > 2.

I hope they will fix this in Flex 2.0 that's bad news :( Anyway, thanks for the information! Cheers, Dirk. Yahoo! Groups Links
