I like to maintain mixed case of returned variables from CFCs so that they can directly map to how I have them named in AS/Flex.
The two techniques I've used (using CFMX 6.1) are naming struct keys like mystruct["firstName"] and the like. With queries you can accomplish the same thing by using column aliases (at least with SQL Server) like, SELECT employeeID AS 'employeeID', firstName AS 'firstName', lastName AS 'lastName' FROM Personnel Will preserve case in returned objects. The my AS code can read var firstName:String = result[0].firstName; OR var firstName:String = result.firstName; Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Abdul Qabiz Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 8:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex / Flash / FlashComm, Remoting and CF Yeah, It is always a good idea to create unit tests for your CFC. As Indy said, create a CFM page and call all CFC methods and check with expected output... This is a way to isolate your problems.. -abdul -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Indy Nagpal Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 3:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flex / Flash / FlashComm, Remoting and CF Yes... I find that is always a good idea to have a cfm page that queries your cfc exactly in the same manner as the remoteobject tag in your flex app would. And use cfdump on your cfm page to examine what the cfc returns. That way you know exactly what is being returned. And if you are using structures and queries, be careful of the capitalization of structure keys and query column names. Trust me, it saves a lot of time.
