This may be a long shot, but another issue to consider is whether Object.registerClass was called before any instances of that type were received from the server. Can you try creating a new dummy instance of the testuser.Test type on the client _before_ making the RemoteObject call?
Are you using the "/WEB-INF/flex/gateway-config.xml logging level Debug" method to trace server logging, or relying on a client debugging tool? -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jgraham_us Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 3:20 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: passing Map from Flex to server side public static var regClass = Object.registerClass("testuser.Test", views.testuser.Test); Thats the actual line. I just made a mistake when typing in the psuedo code below. The weird part is, if I build the Object on the client side and send it across to the server it appears to work. I can look at the objects in the debugger and compare them and I can't see any difference between them. Is there a way to figure out more details as to which object it is failing on when sending back to the server? The error message is not very detailed, I get two different errors on the client side. One is an error about converting the input type, and the other is it was expecting type testuser.Test but was trying to send flashgateway.io.ASObject.
