Using type to return objects to Flex

I am giving this a try on my current app.  However, when the data is returned to Flex, it is not of the type that I specified.  All fields are camelCased correctly (I added the properties argument to get around the uppercasing issue), the type is set correctly, and all data is returned, but it is not of type "AddressBook".  If I do <cfreturn createObject( "component", "AddressBook" ).init( arguments.id ) /> the data is returned as "AddressBook".  Any ideas?   (Code is below). <cffunction name="getAllProperties" output="false" access="remote">   <cfargument name="queryData" type="query" required="true" />   <cfargument name="properties" type="string" required="false" default="addressBookId,ownerId,connectionSourceId,addressTypeId,address1,address2,city,state,zip,countryId,longitude,latitude,radianLat,radianLong,lastUpdate,lastUpdateBy,lastUpdateByConnectionSourceId" />   <cfset var INST = structNew() />   <cfset INST.obj = structNew() />   <cfset INST.ret = arrayNew( 1 ) />   <!---  default object to addressbook --->   <cfset INST.obj['__type__'] = "AddressBook" />   <!--- loop over query --->   <cfloop query="arguments.queryData">     <!--- loop over columns and assign to temporary object --->     <cfloop list="#arguments.properties#" index="INST.property">       <cfset INST.obj[INST.property] = arguments.queryData[INST.property][currentRow] />     </cfloop>     <cfscript>       ArrayAppend( INST.ret, duplicate( INST.obj ) );     </cfscript>   </cfloop>        <cfreturn INST.ret /> </cffunction>

How are you calling it from Flex?  __type__ only works with FDS, I believe, not with remote objects. cheers, barneyb On Feb 19, 2008 10:54 AM, Gareth Arch <Lampei@yahoo.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Argh!  For some reason I skipped completely over that part.  Other than having to use createobject, do you know of anything that will just return the properties rather than the whole shebang (in CFMX7)?  I've returned the data as a query before, but that then requires manipulation on the ActionScript side of things, so if there was a way to tell it "this is an AddressBook" from CF, that would be extremely useful (without going through LiveCycle).  Thanks for the help. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

No, not that I've found.  But it's simple to inflate the generic objects into typed objects in AS.  Just add a static createFromProperties(o:Object):AddressBook method that will copy properties from the passed object into a new instance of the strongly typed object, and then when you get your ArrayCollection in Flex, loop over the elements and inflate each one. var ac:ArrayCollection = event.result; for (var i:int = 0; i < ac.length; i++) {   ac[i] = AddressBook.createFromProperties(ac[i]); } It's not really elegant, but it's simple, and mandatory with how slow CF is at creating CFC instances. cheers, barneyb On Feb 19, 2008 12:05 PM, Gareth Arch <Lampei@yahoo.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

This actually works fine without LCDS or FDS. It requires that you put the appropriate fully qualified RemoteClass on your AS vlaue object, but if you do that you get automatic conversion from typed CF Struct to AS. The only thing I see that is odd about your posted code is that you are returning an array On Feb 19, 2008 1:04 PM, Barney Boisvert <bboisvert@gmail.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

sorry pressed send too soon. To finish that sentence : The only thing I see that is odd about your posted code is that you are returning an array, so on the flex side you need to make sure that you are compiling an instance of your VO into the application or you will get a generic object... On Feb 19, 2008 1:13 PM, J ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Hmmm...not too sure what you mean by this. I had the code setup in a DAO gateway, so the <cfcomponent alias="AddressBook"> was in an AddressBook.cfc (the code I posted was a cffunction in AddressBookGateway.cfc).  In my AS class, I have [RemoteClass(alias="AddressBook")] to handle the class that is returned from CF (and convert it to the correct AddressBook class).  In the code, I'm trying to return an array of AddressBook objects (thus the array that I'm returning).  If I do a createobject for CF AddressBook objects and put it in an array, it correctly returns an array of AddressBook objects back to AS; however, if I use the __type__ and a struct of the other variables (even with correct camelCasing), it returns an array of generic objects.  If I try a returntype of AddressBook[] from CF, it states that it is not a valid AddressBook (which makes sense as it hasn't been converted yet).  If I can only return one item back to AS from CF using this method, I'll probably just stick with the method I was using before (as creating one object vs. one struct isn't going to make a big difference), but if it can send multiple items back as VOs, then that's what I'm looking for.  There's something I'm missing between the gateway and the AS.  If, as Barney states, it is the LiveCycle intermediary, then I'm fresh out as my company won't pony up for that, but if there's something else that I'm missing that can do the conversion via AMF, then I'm all ears :) Thanks. Gareth ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Sorry I guess I wasn't clear, you absolutely can return arrays of typed structs and have them converted for you. That's the main point of doing this. You can return thousands of objects in arrays, and it is ridiculously faster then creating cfcs, you do not need LCDS to do this. I mentioned the array because in Flex if you don't have an instance of the AddressBook object compiled into the app, it will come in as a generic object. But if it works when you return arrays of vos that were created with CreateObject, then that's not the problem. Is the AddressBook.cfc in your webroot or is it under some path? This : [RemoteClass(alias="AddressBook")] will only work (with this method) if AddressBook is in your webroot, if you use CreateObject it will work without the fully qualified path, but if you want to use this typed struct method you have to use the full path. So if your AddressBook is actually in com.vo.AddressBook then you have to use struct['__type__'] = 'com.vo.AddressBook' and [RemoteClass(alias="com.vo.AddressBook")] Sorry if I am making it sound more complicated then it is, but it basically boils down to making sure your __type__ is fully qualified and matches your alias.
