tracker issue : CF-3041500

Problem:

[MSM]If you have a ColdFusion component that has a "remote" method, you cannot access it as REST Web Service, if it has a object[] typed argument.Classic example is the Document.cfc's "generate" method that comes with ColdFusion Services. It has an argument documentitem that takes "documentitem[]" as an argument.When using REST, the only option is to pass through JSON data, e.g.[{"type":"header","content":"This is my header."}]that gets converted into an array of structs.  This produces the error that the "documentitem" argument is not of type documentitem[].Since all we have is JSON, we can't pass in documentitem[], so this renders this webservice able to ONLY be accessed via SOAP.I propose one of two solutions:1) When passing in a JSON struct where an object type is specified as an argument on the webservice, that object is implicitley created and populated with the data from the JSON Struct (preferred)2) Much like we used to have for flex, allow for a __type__ attribute to be included with the JSON object, so that CF knows what object to translate the JSON object back into.
