Dean, This got pushed into my junk mail.
What is making the call to the web service? If it is JavaScript, which it sounds like, then the result needs to be in a format that can be parsed by js. JavaScript does not understand CF objects hence the need to serialize the result or transform it to XML and parse the XML on the client side. Another option for doing that is to set the return format of the function to json, which can be done on the fly by passing the parameter into the function when a json result is required (returnformat="json").

I tried your suggestion of re-initializing the struct with each iteration, but it did not change the results. I've been doing some more testing and have found that, if I serialize the entire result to JSON prior to returning the data to the calling client, that the structures inside the array are populated properly. So the issue is when passing the results back as a CF struct. Again though, this is only if the CFC is called as a webservice, it works fine when called directly from a CF template. Quite odd.
