Return custom Component from CF to flex?

Hi,

My Idea:

I have an Air-App wich read out the Database with Coldfusion remoting - So far no Problem. Now i create a Component inside Coldfusion, wich represents a User from the Database.

<cfcomponent displayname="CurrentUserVO" hint="Represents the logged in User" output="false">
    <cfset this.username = "" />
    <cfset this.password = "" />

    <cfset this.firstname = "" />
    <cfset this.lastname = "" />
</cfcomponent>

I create a Query, read out the Database and "parse" the DatabaseContent to this component. Now... I want to return this "Custom Component" to Flex, but that doesn't work

I can return the whole querry or a property of the Component (such as lastname or firstname) but not the complete Componente. (Flex Result == null)

It would be awesome if someone can help me, i think for a Colfusion-Expert this isn't a big thing?

i would probably create my VO like:

<cffunction name="init" access="public" returntype="CurrentUserVO">
        <cfscript>
            var key="";
            for (key in arguments) {
                this[key] = arguments[key];
            }
            return this;
        </cfscript>
    </cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

Oh...forget to post the "call"

<cfcomponent hint="Exchange" output="false">

<cfobject name="currentuserVO" component="CurrentUserVO">



    <cffunction name="login" displayname="login" access="remote" output="false" >
            <cfargument name="username" required="true" type="String">
            <cfargument name="password" required="true" type="String">


                <cfquery name="Meinquery" datasource="cfagency" username="root" password="">
                    SELECT * FROM user WHERE username= '#username#' AND password = '#password#'
                </cfquery>


                <cfif isDefined("Meinquery")>
                    <cfscript>
                        currentuserVO.username = Meinquery.username;
                        currentuserVO.password = Meinquery.password;
                        currentuserVO.firstname = Meinquery.firstname;
                        currentuserVO.lastname = Meinquery.lastname;
                    </cfscript>

                    <cfreturn #currentuserVO# >

                <cfelse>
                    <cfreturn "false" >
                </cfif>

    </cffunction>

Greets, nico

...and maybe make a few changes

             <cfset var thisUserVO=createObject("component","CurrentUserVO")>

                <cfquery name="Meinquery" datasource="cfagency" username="root" password="">
                    SELECT *

FROM user

WHERE username= '#arguments.username#' AND password = '#arguments.password#'
</cfquery>

<cfset thisUserVO.init(username = Meinquery.username,password=Meinquery.password,

                firstname=Meinquery.firstname,lastname=Meinquery.lastname)>
              <cfreturn #thisUserVO# >
    </cffunction>

how are you calling that function on the flex end? you seem to be returning two different kinds of datatypes, a boolean and the CurrentUserVO.

Hi,

thanks for your Answer (i will try it in a few minutes)

I user a remote Object and that's it. (in Flex) For each function i hve different Result/fault Handlers...

greets, nico

Edit: It totally make sense, what u wrote... but isn't it a bit "too" much in one Component if i write there all my "custom Compos" ?
