Neff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 8:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [CFCDev] Achieving max compatibility for Web Service A ColdFusion array is not very compatible. The problem is CF provides no mechanism to type arrays so it will always be an array of anything. To interoperate with other languages you usually need to specify what it's an array of. I've had no problems with arrays of scalars but never with array of struct or array of components. We need typed arrays as web service returnTypes: http://www.macromedia.com/go/wish As far as complex type, Matt is completely correct about using CFC value objects instead of structs. They provide for real typed WSDLs instead of just key/value pairs where the values are anything.
