It is actually private. The cause might be different. We have a Flex /CF7 installation and there is a file in ColdFusion 7 called gateway-config.xml, and with an entry called "lowercase-keys". This seems to explain what we are seeing. I just don't remenber where I read that we should expect an attribute name equal to the getter in Java.
Here an extract of gateway-config.xml: <!-- Determines how complex objects/generic class data types are to be handled by the gateway. The two options are Classic or Flex. Classic mode performs shallow serialization on all non-static fields for classes implemeting java.io.Serializable. Flex mode uses improvements made for Flex's RemoteObject feature and performs deep serialization on fields with bean accessors for any class. --> <serialization>Classic</serialization> <!-- ActionScript 1.0 and ColdFusion use case insensitive data structures to store associative arrays, objects and structs - the Java representation of these datatypes requires a case-insensitive Map, which the gateway achieves by looking up all keys in lowercase. If case insensitivity is desired then this setting should be set to true. ActionScript 2.0 is now case sensitive, but setting this to true will allow ColdFusion to look up keys case insensitively, and will not actually change the case of the keys. For AS 2.0 to java this should be false, since both are case sensitive. --> <lowercase-keys>true</lowercase-keys> By the way, we set it to true to get the same case that in Java, which is actually the contrary of what it says in the file "Matt Chotin" To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Sent by: Subject: RE: [flexcoders] How to handle a returned Java flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Collection in Flex - RemoteObject call 08/18/2005 02:19 AM Please respond to flexcoders Sorry, I don't know what might be going on here. Sounds like a bean-mapping issue though. Maybe your sDesc was public?

I think I was confused by the fact that I was expecting 'Desc' or 'desc', which is the getter name for this attribute --getDesc- in the Java VO. However, it is returning the name of the attribute itself but all lower case. The original name in Java is 'sDesc', which I originally tried as well. Any comments on this?

However, it still doesn't work. It might be coming with a different name. Is there any way to display the object and the name of its attributes? Thanks, -Oscar.

Try oItem.desc and see if that works.

I can see the collection that the Remote Object is returning in a ComboBox. However, I can see all attributes listed in the ComboBox separated by commas. I only want to show one of them, the Description. So I figured I will use labelField or labelFuntion, but didn't work. This is what I have: Any ideas? Server side: public class LookupManager { ... public Collection getTheList() { // Set up default response Collection response = null; response = theList // gets the list from a Service return response; } ... } client side: <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ ------------------------ Yahoo!
