Case not preserved for structs populated inline

Problem Description: When a struct is created inline in cfscript, the serialization.preserveCaseForStructKey has no effect. All keys will serialize in upper case.

Steps to Reproduce: Create a struct in cfscript like this:

x = { MyCamelKey="Test string", yetAnotherKey="Another string", mixedCaseBool=true };

Make sure this.serialization.preserveCaseForStructKey is set to true in Application.cfc.

Use SerializeJSON(x) and verify the output. The keys will appear in upper case.

This pattern is used a lot to create a struct populated with default values.

Actual Result: Serialized struct contains all upper case keys.

Expected Result: Keys should be in their original case from when the struct was declared.

Any Workarounds:

Hi Darien, It is working for me. Have you tried editing CFM template after changing the value of "this.serialization.preserveCaseForStructKey" property? If not, please try that. As of now, this property is being evaluated only at compile time. There is another bug #CF-3818776 logged where we will enforce this property to be evaluated at runtime as well.

As you can read in my initial description of this, "this.serialization.preserveCaseForStructKey" was set to true.

I see now. Confirmed working after getting the CFC to compile again.

Great. Should I need to close this case now?

The first time I encountered this, changes were made to the CFC that would have resulted in a recompile and yet I still had the issue. Now, I am unable to duplicate the problem. Go ahead and close it.
