Julian,
Thanks for clarifying. _explicitType is an AMFPHP only
implementation. AMFPHP uses it to type the return value and then
actually deletes the reference of _explicitType right off the object.
For the AS3 side the BookVO looks like this:
package com.renaun.samples.login.vo
{
import com.adobe.cairngorm.vo.ValueObject;
import flash.net.registerClassAlias;
[RemoteClass(alias="com.renaun.samples.login.vo.BookVO")]
[Bindable]
public class BookVO implements ValueObject
{
public var name : String;
public var bookid : String;
public var publishdate : String;
public var createddate : Date;
}
}
The source for all the snippets I have posted are at

Hope that helps,
Renaun
