We have been encountering random SOAP Faults in our application. Definitely something is going wrong. We have a CF implementation for webservices (using coldspring) consumed by the flex application. The end users are randomly encountering Fault events. We are using FLEX SDK 3.5
Here are the details - faultCode = DecodingError faultString = SOAP Response cannot be decoded. Raw response: null faultDetail = null The same webservice call works 99% of the time. Randomly we encounter some faults. I have gone through this URL http://www.judahfrangipane.com/blog/?p=87 and some others with no resolution. Monitoring the network SOAP packets using Fiddler, we get HTTP 200 OK response without any error. We enabled Flash Debug logging with all events to be logegd into flashLog.txt and we found that the fault is generated internal to the framework - Here are the details - 2/17/2010 09:28:11.935 [INFO] mx.rpc.soap.Operation Creating SOAP Operation for getCacheUpdates 2/17/2010 09:28:11.935 [DEBUG] mx.rpc.soap.Operation Invoking SOAP operation getCacheUpdates 2/17/2010 09:28:11.935 [DEBUG] mx.rpc.soap.SOAPEncoder Encoding SOAP request envelope 2/17/2010 09:28:11.945 [DEBUG] mx.rpc.soap.SOAPEncoder Encoding SOAP request body 2/17/2010 09:28:11.945 [INFO] mx.messaging.Producer 'E62FB659-260E-FDD0-479B-DC8AAF12EE52' producer sending message 'FACB3D46-5745-E0B7-4F3C-DC8B26A9872C' 2/17/2010 09:28:11.945 [DEBUG] mx.messaging.Channel 'direct_http_channel' channel sending message: (mx.messaging.messages::SOAPMessage)#0 body = "<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=" http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
