Re: [flexcoders] Collections between Flex and Web services

[Sean McKibben]

I'm running in to similar issues with webServices going to CF7 (see my "Flex serializer vs CF7 deserializer" posts). Something that I've found which aids troubleshooting is to look at the actual soap envelope which gets sent between the client and server. I've noticed that the SOAP encoding seems weird when an object contains another object or array. Instead of using <key> and <value> child tags, it will use <varibleName> tags. Still haven't found a workaround....

I create a method on the web service such as:� (VB) Public Sub SaveContact(Contact as Contact) End Sub However, it seems that if I only have 1 phone number, the phone number gets lost in translation, even though the Contact info comes back correctly.� I was able to partially fix this by making sure my collections were instantiated in the constructor, but if I nest a collection, it doesn't seem to work right.
