Tom, How can you have missed everything ColdFusion team has been speaking about all this time? ColdFusion Extensions can make your life a lot easier (believe me). Generate those files and you'll see what must implement, but basically 1) in your AS : [RemoteClass(alias="mypath.to.my.cfcomponent.thiscaseReactorTomssql")] 2) your CFC (VO in CF side): Have a alias attribute in your component tag with the dot path notation like " mypath.to.my.cfcomponent.thiscaseReactorTomssql" Have <cfproperty tags for each attribute and with same order like in your AS file
With this, if you return an array of any CF component, that will be translated to an ArrayCollection of your AS Value Object, so, no more castings. In case you plan to use FDS, hasOne and hasMany properties inside your CFC component should be defined Company/employees (hasMany)/address(hasOne) example: In your company component <cfproperty name="employees" type="path.to.the.employees.component[]"/> <cfset this.employees = arraynew(1)/> <cfproperty name="address" type="path.to.the.address.component"/> <cfset this.address = structnew()/> João Fernandes Dep.

That's a big help. Wish me luck :-) -- Tom Chiverton **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
