[flexcoders] Re: BlazeDS, List of VOs inside a VOs won't translate

I realize this reply is coming a little late, but when I recently ran into this 
problem and 
found a simple fix. As it turned out I had an object that contained a list of 
subordinate 
objects like so:


    [Bindable]
    [RemoteClass(alias="com.bender.spotlist.dto.Spot")]
    public class Spot 
    {
        public var latitude:Number = 0;
        public var longitude:Number = 0;
        public var photos:ArrayCollection; 
    }

The collection is a collection of PhotoEntries:

    [Bindable]
    [RemoteClass(alias="com.bender.spotlist.dto.PhotoEntry")]
        public class PhotoEntry
        {
                public var id:Number;

            public var photoId:Number;
        
            public var smallThumbURL:String;
        
            public var mediumThumbURL:String;
        
            public var largeThumbURL:String;
        } 


And all Flex would hand to me was a collection of Objects. It turns out that my 
problem 
was that while I was referencing the Spot class in the code I had not actually 
referenced (ie 
had import and used the object) the PhotoEntry class. Thus, flex did not build 
it and it 
couldn't be used during the unmarshalling process. As soon as I made a 
reference to the 
PhotoEntry class it was able to correctly find the type to use.
