Problem Description:
For example a typical json object might be
myData = [10,0,1,5];
Yet when we send this across to ColdFusion, it fails miserably. This means that writing a ColdFusion webService, people who use other languages to connect to this ColdFusion webservice have to do extra work.
Railo seems to be a typical example of where it works right, as if you where to send the above myData string across in Railo the array would be created correctly. However ColdFusion requires that the data be quoted like such.
myData = ["10","0","1","5"];
If you read the specifications of Json at http://www.json.org/ it is obvious that ColdFusion is not dealing with passed JSon objects when calling remote CFC's
This seems to be causing issues with a lot of people trying to connect to a ColdFusion webservice from PHP, .Net, Java and many others that I have seen.
