RE: [flexcoders] how to call dynamic servlet

[Tracy Spratt]

That should work, I use dynamic urls with HTTPService regularly.  One
suggestion, don't use binding. Instead, in the function where you invoke
service.send(), set the url there.

 

Additionally, unless you have a very special use case, you do not want
resultFormat="xml", you want resultFormat="e4x".  "xml" is the old AS
object, and lacks most of the functionality available in e4x.

Subject: [flexcoders] how to call dynamic servlet

 

Hi All,

i have made a servelt which returns details in xml format ,
this is servlet is working fine if am calling it from flex in static way
like this

<mx:HTTPService id="topSenders" useProxy="false" resultFormat="xml"
method="POST" url="http://localhost:
<http://localhost:8080/Application/topSenderServlet?TYPE=4&amp;USER_ID=12>
8080/Application/topSenderServlet?TYPE=4&amp;USER_ID=12" 
result="serv_result(event);"/>

but if i tried to call the servlet like this

<mx:HTTPService id="topSenders" useProxy="false" resultFormat="xml"
method="POST" url="{servletURL}" 
result="serv_result(event);"/>

then it is not working , am not getting any error

here is the full code for my mxml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe. <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml>
com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="init()">

[Bindable]

8080/Application/topSenderServlet?TYPE=4&amp;USER_ID="+userId;
Alert.show(servletURL);
topSenders.send();
}
private function serv_result(evt:ResultEvent):void {
/* Convert XMLNode to XMLDocument. */
var xmlStr:String = evt.result.toString();
var xmlDoc:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument(xmlStr);
var decoder:SimpleXMLDecoder = new SimpleXMLDecoder(true);
var resultObj:Object = decoder.decodeXML(xmlDoc);
/* Assign the values... */

expenses = new ArrayCollection();
for(var i:int=0;i<resultObj.top.sender.length;i++){
Alert.show(resultObj.top.sender[i].phone);

}
}
