Question: What is the best way to retrieve objects based on obj_uuid

Today one of the ZoomFlex users asked this question:

In ZoomFlex, what is the best way to retrieve objects from server-side classes based on obj_uuid? Do I have to write my own server-side function (and client-side Cairngorm structure) to accomplish something like this?
Here is the answer: The best and quickest way to accomplish this is by using the server-side getObjects() method that is inherited by all ZoomFlex classes.
The following code demonstrates how to use this in a Delegate class:
public function getSomethingByID(ev:GetSomethingByIDEvent):void {

   var oArgs:Object                   = new Object();

   oArgs["obj_uuid"]                  = ev.obj_uuid;

   __rds.addEventListener('event_getSomethingByID',onResults_getSomethingByID);
   __rds.invoke(new YourVO(), "getObjects","event_getSomethingByID",oArgs,false,true);

}

To use this piece of code, you'd need to pass in a property called "obj_uuid" in the GetSomethingByIDEvent.
Also, replace "getSomethingByID" to your own method name. Also replace YourVO() with the client-side VO of the server-side class you are calling. So if you are calling a server-side class called "cars", you would change this to CarsVO().
More about the getObjects() function can be found in the ShadoCMS documentation.
