[Red5] ServiceInvoker / ConversionUtils: how to invoke methods with List<CustomClass> params

[Victor]

I have found a solution for methods with custom classes and collections 
of custom classes.
The solution is to use [Remote] annotation with 'alias' attribute for 
such custom types in Flex (see APPSERVER-229 for details).

Another problem is that Flex does not have Long type (it has Integer) 
and Red5 can not convert List<Integer> to List<Long>, but this is not 
critical for me now...
