Actually, you don't.  If you want to save a lot of typing and do it the KISS 
(keep it simple, 
stupid) way, you can pass your VO with NO reference to a cfc and coldfusion 
will be happy 
to accept it as a STRUCT.  Of course, you do have to know (and spell correctly) 
the field 
names.  Following is a code snippet.

 VO 
notice that there is NO remote line, just a simple object
package vo
{
[Bindable]
public class WebOrder
{   
public var recID: int;
public var nameNumber   : int;
public var contact  : String;
public var userID   : int;
public var dateEntered  : Date;
public var deliveryFrom : Date;
public var deliveryThru : Date;
public var item : int;
public var customerQty  : int;
public var customerUM   : String;
public var tallyQty : int;
public var price: Number;
public var per  : int;
public var comments : String;
public var cancelReason : String;
public var cancelOption : String;
public var PONumber : String;
public var wholeUnits   : int;
public var customTallyFlag  : int;
public var pickUp   : int;
public var status   : String;

public function WebOrder()  {
}
}
}

--- FLEX CODE ---

cfcOrderInquiry.webOrderInsert( {obj: model.webOrder} );


--- CF CODE -
 



  Insert Into WebOrder  (NameNumber, UserID, Contact, 
DeliveryFrom, 
DeliveryThru,
Item, CustomerQty, CustomerUM, Price, per) 
values ( #obj.nameNumber#, #obj.userID#,  '#obj.contact#', 
#obj.deliveryFrom#, 
#obj.deliveryThru#, 
#obj.item#, #obj.customerQty#,'#obj.customerUM#', #obj.price#, 
#obj.per#)

select @@IDENTITY as webOrderRecID




 

It is this simple.

Hi,

That helps quite a bit.

Two questions arise.

1.  Can you explain the dynamic class usuage and why one might use that?

2.  I always see VO's with an empty function declared after the
properties  (see below) , why is this?

public function securityVO()
  {
  }

Thanks for your help
