Java ArrayList to ArrayCollection problem

[bhale]

I have an action script class that is bound to a java object. WHen I call the remote object I get this AS class in return. The java class has an ArrayList, and my log files state that the ArrayList has data ands a size of 5. But on the flex side, everything in the class is returmned properly but the action script ArrayCollection variable is null. I checked all documentation and it says that java List will map to ArrayCollection. Anyone have any idea why it doesn't come back? I have returned an java object of List<MyObject> to flex side and this works. It's just the embedded variable inside the action script class that doesn't get set.

Can you post some code showing how you are attempting to set the ArrayCollection instance value?

These are just two classes (or beans) that mirror each other. The java class is built from an XML feed using JIBX. I am passing the object or class back to flex side and the data is there except for the array, which is null. Here is the code, java class first.

package com.sabre.eps.schemas;

import java.util.ArrayList;


public class ProfileListElementType {
protected String numReturned;

protected String haveMore;


public void addProfile(SearchProfileType profile) {
profileList.add(profile);
}

public SearchProfileType getProfile(int index) {
return (SearchProfileType)profileList.get( index );
}

public int sizeProfileList() {
return profileList.size();
}

public String getNumReturned() {
return this.numReturned;
}

public void setNumReturned(String numReturned) {
this.numReturned = numReturned;
}

public String getHaveMore() {
return this.haveMore;
}

public void setHaveMore(String haveMore) {
this.haveMore = haveMore;
}

protected ArrayList profileList = new ArrayList();

}

And now the actionscrtip file
package com.sabre.stn.eps.profile
{
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;

[Bindable]
[RemoteClass(alias="com.sabre.eps.schemas.ProfileListElementType")]



public class ProfileListElementType extends Object
{
protected var _numReturned:String;

protected var _haveMore:String;

protected var _profileList:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();



public function ProfileListElementType()
{
}

public function set numReturned(value:String):void {
_numReturned = value;
}

public function get numReturned():String {
return _numReturned;
}

public function set haveMore(value:String):void {
_haveMore = value;
}

public function get haveMore():String {
return _haveMore;
}

public function set profileList(value:ArrayCollection):void {
_profileList = value;
}

public function get profileList():ArrayCollection {
return _profileList;
}

public function addProfile(profile:SearchProfileType):void
{
_profileList.addItem(profile);
}


}
}

I also tried creating a temp object and adding each element to the array in java code, but that didn't work either.

So at the moment the final value of the '_profileList' property is null?

Are you able to debug the result handler for your remote service call - try to see what sort of information is being returned and how it is being mapped to your Actionscript classes?
