RE: [flexcoders] string to xml -> datagrid

Fri, 22 Apr 2005 05:37:03 -0700

well, the thing is, I'm using NuSoap PHP Toolkit on my serverside php to to generate my wsdl and ofcourse register my functions. But I've never managed to get an working array as an result type back to Flex, so I returned a string.
 
But yesterday I finally got the NoSoap working to return an array such as
 
array[0]["element"]="blaaaat"
array[0]["element1"]="blaaaat"
 
array[1]["element"]="blaaaat"
array[1]["element1"]="blaaaat"
 
And now I don't have to convert a string to xml anymore and I can bind the result to the datagrid.

I think you are missing the point of automated conversions of flex .
you already have your soap method that can return objects - why return a string and then go to objects again.
just return objects (in a certain structure) - flex will do the rest.
 
believe me i struggled for 3 days to get this result and not get into objects->XML-->objects conversions. ( i know flex do it , so do u need to :-)
 
 
for example
 
class Ticket{
    int ticketID;
    String label;
}
 
class TicketContainer{
 
    Ticket[] tickets;
   
}
 
The WebService is something like this.
 
public TicketContainer someWSmethod(){
 
 
    Ticket t = new Ticket(1,"label1");
    Ticket t1 = new Ticket(2,"label2");
    Ticket t2 = new Ticket(3,"label3");
 
    TicketContainer cont = new TicketContainer();  // you must have a root node (top level) object that contains array of childs.
    cont.addTicket(t);
    cont.addTicket(t1);
    cont.addTicket(t2);
 
 
    return cont;  
}

Then it would be

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.parseXML(str);

It is "better" to use the createXML() utility function because it tells
the parser to ignore whitespace.  If you have carriage returns in your
xml string and do not tell the compiler to ignore whitespace, the xml
will not work well with the tree control.

To create XML from a string u can just do this:

var xml:XML = new XML(str);

Then u can use an xmlToObject coverter to convert the xml object to an
object wich consists of arrays and objects. I believe there is a
macromedia utility available for this.

Hi I don't know if this is possible.

I have an soap-function that returns a string. The content of the
string:

<tickets><ticket><ticketID>1</ticketID></ticket><ticket><ticketID>2</
ticketID></ticket></tickets>

Of course this is just a string. Is it possible to convert the string to
an xml object and then bind that object to a datagrid?

I did found this :

                  var xmlStr:String;
                  xmlStr=ticketsService.getTickets.result;
                 
                  var xml:XML;
                  xml=mx.utils.XMLUtil.createXML(xmlStr);


but I don't know if this is the right way ...
