You'll have to searialize the sub-CFCs indivudually.
So you'll actually want something like this (forgive the mixed syntax,
typing tags for everything takes too long):
function serialize() {
result = structNew();
result.CFC = structNew();
result.nonCFC = structNew();
for (i in variables) {
if (isObject(variables[i], "WEB-INF.cftags.component")) {
result.CFC[i] = variables[i].serialize();
} else {
result.nonCFC[i] = variables[i];
}
}
<cfwddx action="cfml2wddx" input="#result#" output="temp" />
return temp;
}
Your deserialize() function would have to change as well, of course, but
would follow a similar pattern.
