That's not going to work, because a structure can't be simply written to a
string, as you're trying to do. If you want to pass data from one page, to
the next, it'll have to be string data of some type. You could use WDDX to
convert complex objects (arrays, structures, queries) to strings, then write
the WDDX strings to your form fields, then convert them back to complex
objects using CFWDDX in the action page. Or, you could use the Session scope
to store the data persistently.
