I am using java/blazeds/flex. So basically I have method in java:

public ArrayList<Employee> getAllEmployees(){
    ...
    ArrayList<Employee> employees = new ArrayList<Employee>();
    pst = JavaConnection.getConnection()
              .prepareStatement("select * from employee order by lastname");
    rs = pst.executeQuery();

    while (rs.next()){
        Employee employee = new Employee();
        employee.setId(rs.getInt("id"));
        employee.setFirstName(rs.getString("firstName"));
        employee.setLastName(rs.getString("lastName"));
        employees.add(employee);
    }
    ...
    return employees;
}

but in flex from remoteobject result i get ArrayCollection where all elements are with Object datatype but not with Employee. By the way I also have have value object class in flex. 

[RemoteClass(alias="domain.Employee")]
public class Employee
{
    public var id:int;
    public var firstName:String;
    public var lastName:String;
    ...
}

So I am not sure why I get object datatype.
How to fix this?

Hope I made some sense, because I am not very good with terminology.

    Can't tell from your code, but this could happen when the Employee class is never actually imported in your code (i.e. nowhere in your code does it say `import domain.employee`) – RIAstar Dec 14 '11 at 11:50

Thanks RIAstar, you were right, it was imported badly.
Though I had import valueobject.Employee; in my model but apparently you have to create instance variable from value object class also. After that it worked. What I don't understand is why instance variable is necessary.. it doesn't even matter in which method I create it.

    If there is no reference in code to the Employee class will not be included in your SWF, unless specified as a compiler argument. – Cornel Creanga Dec 15 '11 at 15:37
