Remote method HELP!

Question

Hi,
I'm obviously missing some basic concept on how to handle
response and return values from remote methods...
Lets say i'm using the following on the server:
Client.prototype.GetNumOfMessages = function(uid)
_NumOfMessages = _ws.GetNumOfMessages(uid);
_NumOfMessages.onResult = function(res)
// HERE IS MY PROBLEM. How can I return the "res" value to
the client function that invoked?
The _ws.GetNumOfMessages(uid); is a call to a webservice,
which works fine. If I trace the "res" I get the correct value.
So, how can I return this value?
The client code is:
nc.some_function = function()
nc.call("GetNumOfMessages",new retVal(),objUser.uid);
function retVal()
this.onResult(res)
trace(res); // I Get "undefined" here...
Please advise,
Thanks in advance,
Guy

Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "your factory");
     properties.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "your server url");
     properties.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "morad");
     properties.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "morad");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(properties);
Object objref = ctx.lookup("the name of your bean);
yourbean = (yourbean) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref,serviceClass);
Also make sure you include your credentials in the deploy.properties file in your deploy directory.
