Return type Web Service

Question

Hello,
I have a web service created in Java:
@WebMethod
public Vector<Data> getData();
This is how I am connecting to the web service:
public function connectWS():void{
     var cr:CallResponder = new CallResponder();
     cr.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, connectWSResult);
     cr.token = myWebService.getData();
My vect variable above does not provide me with the correct Data object. vect is assigned null. How ever if I have:
public function connectWSResult(event:ResultEvent);void{
     var arrCollect:ArrayCollection = event.result as ArrayCollection;
arrCollection gives me correct value of Data object.
I want the webService to return me a Vector. How can I go about that?

If I understand you correctly (do not see a 'vect' variable anywhere), the web service is working perfectly.  The getData() function is non-blocking and does not "wait" for the response from the web service.  This is why you need to add an event listener, to listen for the "result" event.  When the reply comes in, the listener triggers the handler (connectWsResult) which you appear to have defined correctly.
So I'm not sure what the problem is if you say the handler is returning the correct data.  Am I missing something?
