Pass ArrayCollection from ColdFusion to Flex (using BlazeDS)

When pushing ColdFusion objects on Flex through BlazeDS and mapping classes using RemoteClass ...

[RemoteClass(alias="blah.blah")]

... is it possible that ColdFusion Arrays (or some Java equivalent) are automatically mapped to ActionScript ArrayCollections?

This guy almost had it, but not quite:

After upgrading to CF 9.0.1 and BlazeDS 4, I finally got the answer to this question.

Now you can use the following node in your service-config.xml

 <serialize-array-to-arraycollection>true</serialize-array-to-arraycollection>

For what it's worth, the ColdFusion Query object is directly and automatically mapped to an ArrayCollection. Therefore, if this is an option, you can manually create a request object and return it from your service.

I just stumbled upon this article on serialization through java. I have yet to try this (I hope today and today). Hope this helps some.

From Java to Flex, the list (Java) is displayed directly in ArrayCollection (AS3).

Here you can see the full list. http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/lcds/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=serialize_data_2.html
