Going from server to client appears to be working fine. My server
classes do not implement Map or Collection. I have tried very
simple cases, and the Maps are not empty.
Here is an example.
Test.java
------------------------------------------------------
package testuser;
public class Test{
Map<String, User> users;
Map<String, User> getUsers() {
...
}
void setUsers(Map<String, Users> users) {
...
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------
Test.as
-------------------------------------------------------
class Test
{
Object.registerClass("testuser.Test","Test");
var users : Array;
...
}
So are you saying that my object on the server side, users must be
of type ASObject, or do I have to implement some intermediate type
then build my server side Test object from this intermediate type
that is an ASObject?
Basically I need to get the Test object on the client side possibly
update it and then send that same object back and have it be a Test
(server side object) when I get it back on the server.
Thanks
