[flexcoders] Re: FLEX and UPS online tools XML integration

Fri, 07 Apr 2006 16:21:15 -0700

Hi Corey,

 

The exact code I'm using is pasted below.  This is Flex 1.5 running under Tomcat 5.1.something, and the app is loaded over https.  I'm wondering if maybe your problem is related to some outdated version of a jar file used by IBM WebSphere (which unfortunately I don't have any experience with, so take it for what it's worth).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
    width="100%" height="100%"
    pageTitle="UPS Test"
    backgroundColor="0xFFFFFF" >

    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[

        var RequestObject: Object;

        function getServices(xmlUPSTest){
            mx.core.Application.alert("Services is called");
            hs.send(xmlUPSTest);
        }

        function xmlDecoder ( myXML ) {
            // Simplified decoding logic.

            var myObj = new Object();
            //myObj.name = myXML.rss.channel.item;
            //myObj.honorific = myXML.firstChild.attributes.honorific;

            mx.core.Application.alert("xmlDecoder is called\n\n" + myXML);
            output.text = myXML;
            return myObj;
        }

    ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <mx:XML id="xmlUPSTest" source="UPSTest.xml"/>

    <mx:HTTPService id="hs"
        xmlDecode="xmlDecoder"
        showBusyCursor="true"
        fault="mx.core.Application.alert(event.fault.faultstring)"
        url=""https://wwwcie.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate">https://wwwcie.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate"
        method="post"
        resultFormat="object"
        contentType="application/xml">

        <mx:request>
            <AccessRequest>{xmlUPSTest}</AccessRequest>
        </mx:request>
    </mx:HTTPService>

     <mx:Button label="Check UPS" click="getServices(xmlUPSTest)"/>
     <mx:TextArea id="output" text="" width="100%" height="100%"/>

</mx:Application>
