this defines what your cfc returns the variable in use returntype="any" to accept them all. you can return even query names as returntypes. I am sure someone else will be able to explain more about when you use any versus other types, good luck

I'm not sure if I ever use returntype="any". If the method is returning data, I use the appropriate data type. Otherwise I use boolean and return true.

Upon further review, I wrote some web services that return xml and use returntype = "any" for that.
