Well, if I make the same exact call in non-Cairngorm
it works fine. If you want, I can post the code of the non-cairngorm solution that
works right now. Either it’s something specific to binding in this manor
or somehow the modelLocator change is being taken wrong…..but remember
this is only for the chart – the datagrid (and they’re mapped to
the same data) works fine…..and only for a non-hard coded xml file.
I haven’t had the time to check if it’s only HTTPServices…but
my guess is if it’s working fine with a hard xml file (dummy.xml) and not
with the cfm file (sales.cfm – which I can post also, just outputs a
mime-type of text/xml….as far as I can see, it’s the exact same –
even with a comparison tool) then it might be something entirely different
(maybe the xml parser or the binding events).
Either way, it’s totally weird because all I change is from a hard-coded
file to a cfm that produces the exact same thing (but takes 1 second) and it
breaks the charts. So yeah, can’t narrow down yet because I’ve got
no idea why it’s doing this J If anyone wants any debugging output or anything from me (since
that cfm isn’t accessible outside the intranet), or the code of the
non-cairngorm working one just ask.
Any help would be *greatly*
appreciated.

This does sound weird. I haven't had time to play with the
HTTPService 1s timing issue. But definetly
something is going on. So
we have narrowed it down to HTTPService and
Binding is that correct,
not Cairngorm or other RPC services?
