I have two simple constant functions in a contract:

function fun1 (address A) constant returns (uint) {
    return mappingAS[A].length;
}

function fun2 (address A, uint V) constant returns (string, uint) {
    return (mappingAS[A][V], mappingBE[mappingAS[A][V]][(mappingBE[mappingAS[A][V]].length)-1].timeStamp);
}

(Note: the first returns a length of an array (from mapping "address => string[]") and the other one returns values from an exact position in another array (which is as well stored in a mapping "string[] => struct[]")

Now both of these constant functions seem to work in the Mist GUI (contract watch) but if I try to call them through web3:

contractA.fun1(address).call()

contractA.fun2(address, position).call()

I still have to sign those calls as transactions (with password) and a transaction hash gets returned instead.

Contract and ABI are correctly assigned:

var contractA = web3.eth.contract(contractABI).at(contractAddress)

I'm using standard Mist's geth parameters. Should I somehow change the parameters of geth?

Thanks for any hints.

    The syntax is contractA.fun2.call(address, position). Did you try that?

The correct syntax is:

contractA.fun1.call(address)

contractA.fun2.call(address, position)
