Well, I guess I found a way... didn´t tested it yet, but I guess it will work as the logic seems ok
After returning the events rows I want with the Event´s model´s findAll() method:
function getEvents($offset = '0',$limit='10') {
$events = $this->Event->findAll('event_data > $today');
I would then iterate over this collection:
var $returned_events = Array()
foreach ($events as $e) {
$def_pic_id = $this->getRandomPic($e['id']);
$e['defaultPictureID'] = $def_pic_id;
$e['defaultPictureID'] = $def_pic_id;
$returned_events[] = $e;
}
return $returned_events;
}
I only need to find a way to map each of the returned_events[] items to the EventVO class... does AMFPHP do that automatically when I configure in the methodTable?
What do you think?
Cheers,
Marcelo Serpa.

Hi friends,I´m having some hard time trying to figure out the solution for what should be something simple. Its best explained through an example:I´m using CakePHP as the framework of the application server and cakeAMFPHP which allows me to use Cake´s controller classes as flash remoting services.Now enters my use case: I have a method in the EventsController.php class (which is the flash remoting servcie and Cake´s controller class for the Event logic unit), the getEvents($offset,$limit) that should return an array of Events encapsulated in the EventVO class. I have a property in the EventVO class called DefaultImageID, this var should receive an ID of a picture, this picture is randomly chosen from the pictures of the albums that this Event owns. However, I´m using Cake´s findAll() model´s method which already returns an array with the resultset and it gives me no chance to "attach" or set additional properties to the array returned for the row ... (as I would do if I was doing it manually with foreach...).
The only solution I could think of is: First I load the events, then, in the client-side, I get the id of the event and call the getRandomImage($image_id) remote method... however, I think if all this could be done inside the getEvents and returned in the EventVO object, it would be better... what do you think?Thanks,Marcelo.
