I did the same way, but I feel uncomfortable coupling the server side with UI message. In addition to that frameworks like Spring, Hibernate promote runtime errors that makes faultString is kinda useless, or I don't know how to use it.... It looks to me that Adobe needs to reconsider the way they handle the server side errors on their side and provide the UI programmers a way to identify the error codes on the client side. I'd like to hear flexcoders opinion regarding this or how did they handle this in their applications. Thanks, Valy

The client resulthandler looks at the xml to determine if it is good data or an error and responds appropriately. For the few occasions where the server app itself errors, I use a fault handler. The problem with faultString is that if the server errors with a 500, the browser does not pass the full error informtion to the player. It is possible to cause the server to send a 200 instead of a 500, and you can then access the fault detail. How this is done depends on the server.

In fact, I'd like to be able translate the error code from the back-end to a meaningfull message to the client for certain error codes. It looks that faultString doesn't help me much. How do you guys deal with the server side errors on the client, if you want to have custom error messages depending on the error code? Thanks, Valy Sivec Any questions?
