Are you coercing the Array to a String (say, via simple concatenation) in a trace()? Perhaps associative Array keys aren't shown when "toString" in Flash... can you try a for in loop instead? Or as a quick test do trace(result["key1"]).
The conversion of Map -> ECMA Array is a legacy behavior from Flash Remoting that we should consider making configurable in the next release of Flex as people would like to be able to do Map -> Object since it is a more useful type (associative arrays doesn't behave much like an Array) and allows you do use dot-syntax. Note that Map keys are "toString"'ed too as per the requirements for AMF / AS2 types. -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Berkovitz Sent: Friday, May 20, 2005 1:59 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] deserializing Maps with AMF (RemoteObject) I can't for the life of me seem to pass a java.util.Map back from a RemoteObject call. The data comes back as an empty array object ([]) rather than as an untyped object. Anyone encountered this problem? I have tried return-typing the method as HashMap and Object as well, no dice in any case. Here is my remote method that is being invoked: public Map test3() { HashMap map = new HashMap(); map.put("key1", "val1"); map.put("key2", "val2"); return map; } Server trace looks like this: Info: Processing batch of 1 request(s) Info: Requesting target 'testServer.test3' Info: Service 'com.allurent.arcx.test.TestServer' sent to adapter 'Java Class Adapter' Info: Completed 'testServer.test3' with reply method 'onResult' in 10ms Info: Serializing response (Message #0 targetURI=/2/onResult, responseURI=null) (ECMA Array #0) key1 = "val1" key2 = "val2" Client trace looks like this: [trace] 5/20 12:40:52 [INFO] RemoteObject_AMF: Invoking test3 on testServer [trace] 5/20 12:40:52 [INFO] RemoteObject_AMF: testServer.test3() returned [] // where's my data, dude?
