Description:	Nathan, as you and I have discussed previously, the function names used currently collide with a pair of functions that exist in Railo, which causes an error when the component is instantiated. For the time being, my only thought is to rename the functions ("JSON[De]Serialize"?); but I'm wracking my brain trying to come up with something a bit more elegant. I thought it was somewhat important to document it here, at least, so that we don't forget about it.

Just FYI. :) Comment by nmische (Nathan Mische) : 07/30/09 8:26 AM I think you sent me a fix for this, which is in SVN. I just haven't got around to updating the unit tests to work on Railo, which is why I haven't released it. If you want to update the unit tests let me know and I'll add you to SVN. (Also, I'm not against renaming the methods if that is what it takes.) Comment by mjhagen (Mingo Hagen) : 08/26/09 11:44 AM I fixed this by using this.serialize() on Railo.
