Re: [fw-webservices] Deserialization of Zend_Db_Table_Rowset Objects in Flex 3

This indeed seems to work, thanks!

The problem I have now is that Zend_Amf is not sending this "across the wire" as an object of type user, but rather as a plain array (I'm using charles to inspect the communication traffic). Unfortunately due to that, it appears that Flex complains when trying to cast the resultset as an ActiveScript user.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
Mike

Instead of returning the rowset object directly, return the value of
toArray():

   return $rowset->toArray();

This will return a struct that should be easily serializable by
Zend_Amf.
