Having fun with railo: CFQUERY supporting complex objects

I just came across a cool feature of railo - it's possible to set query columns to complex objects, e.g. a java object or a structure.

An example:

cfset q = QueryNew('data');
querySetCell( q, 'data', { firstname = 'John', surname = 'Doe' }, 1);

cfdump var="#q#"

You can access the structure by using q['data'][1]!

cool!

Important: This complex data won't survive a query of queries operation, in this case the simple classname will be shown in the column.
