Are you generating the VO's on the client side?

Subject: [flexcoders] Web Services and ObjectProxy question for the Flex Gurus
It seems like a common problem, I'm seeing tons of posts on the web, but no
solid solution. I'm making a web service call which will return a complex data
type, say Car. The Car has internal complex data types like Wheel, Door, etc.
I'm using Flex 4 and I set the returntype for the webservice to return an array
of Cars - Cars[]. If the web service returns more than 1, it successfully
deserialized the data and returns an array of Car objects. BUT, if only one is
returned, it returns an ObjectProxy, obviously because it cannot convert it to
an array.
Most solutions on the web show how to add this one item to an array. What I
want is the actual object to be of type Car. If I change the returntype for
the
web service to return a single Car object, then when it returns one, it works,
but more than one, it returns an array of ObjectProxy objects.
I could check if the returned object is a single object, then spin through each
attribute and convert it to a car, but because the car has other objects within
it, they too show up as ObjectProxy objects, so I'd hve to spin through the
tires, the doors, etc. which in my case is a lot of attributes, just to
deserialize the object.
Is there a solution for a web service to either a) always return an array, even
if it is an array of 1, or b) a way for the Flex code to correctly deserialize
both an array of Cars and 1 Car?
Thanks!
