With the literal request format <mx:request format="xml"> instead of passing in the object as the parameter and having it serialized you write the XML that the service would expect. So since you know what the XML should look like going across the wire you just fill that in instead of the serializer doing the wrong thing like we're seeing.
I did some searching and I found the bug and it's marked as fixed in 1.5. So in reading your code a little further I'm not sure I can tell how your WebService function is supposed to work. You said that everything was passed correctly if you specified a single range. Does that mean that you passed an array of 1, or did you just pass the range object? Is it possible that you declared two functions in your Java side for the WebService, one that takes an array and one that doesn't? If that's the case we may have a problem because AS doesn't support method overloading so it may pick the wrong method. Not too much help here I know, if we can see the WSDL we may be able to learn a little more.

Could you explain me a bit of how this 'literal request format' would work? Thanks in advance, Pablo Apanasionek -----Mensaje original----- De: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de Matt Chotin Enviado el: Viernes, 10 de Febrero de 2006 04:36 Para: [email protected] Asunto: RE: [flexcoders] Array serialization for Webservice Unfortunately I think this may be a known bug. I believe you're going to need to do a literal request format and pass the information in XML yourself to make it work. I don't remember if we may have fixed this in a hotfix, if you have a support contract you may want to ask your rep.

I'm using Flex 1.5 and some Java Webservices. I have an object that is passed as a parameter to a webservice. The Object goes something like this: SomeObject(code:String, ranges:Array) The "ranges" array contains 1 or more instances of some other object, which has a String and two Numbers. So far, so good. And here comes the problem: When I complete my paramObject with a code and ONE range in the ranges array (which I decided to declare as Object = code:AAA, ranges:(D,200,300)), it serializes like this: <code>AAA</code> <ranges> <scope>X</scope> <from>200</from> <to>300</to> <ranges> Its values are passed like this: someService.addType.request.code = 'AAA'; someService.addType.request.ranges.scope = 'X'; someService.addType.request.ranges.from = 200; someService.addType.request.ranges.to = 300; This format posts well to the webservice, and it results OK. But, if I add a range (in the array), so it holds two ranges, I step into two problems: 1) If I stick to declaring "ranges" as an Object, I can't add another instance of it. 2) If I convert "ranges" into an Array, and add the two complete objects, although the Flex Network Monitor and Trace Panel show it right, it gets serialized like this: <code>AAA</code> <ranges/> <item> <scope>X</scope> <from>200</from> <to>300</to> <item> <item> <scope>Z</scope> <from>400</from> <to>500</to> <item> Resulting in a fault event of the webservice, because of the unrecognized property "item". Is there a way to change the serialization of array (as I would need to name each item as "ranges" and not as "item") or some other way to fix this?
