[flexcoders] Integrating Flex and Grails (periods in request names)

[jbaileyadam]

I'm integration Flex with a Grails backend using RESTful web services.
 The integration would be easier if I was able to specify a period in
a request parameter.  I'd like to do the following:

<mx:HTTPService id="someService" url="http://localhost:8080:foo/add";>
        <mx:request xmlns="">
           
            <company.id>{companyId}</company.id>
           
        </mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>

However, I get a syntax error, "Expecting colon before dot".  Any way
to get around this?

Thanks,
Jeff
