The two resultFormats have their own issues, you need to decide first which you want to use.
I advise e4x. You do not get the search and filter capability with the default object tree. If you go e4x, you will either need to use XMLListCollection , or manually loop over the XMLList and build an ArrayCollection of Vos. You can't automatically convert an XMLList to ArrayCollection, hence that error.
