RE: [flexcoders] Access SOAP fault code

[Carson Hager]

This is currently a limitation in the Flash Player ( all versions ).  SOAP faults require HTTP 500 to returned. When the FP sees a 500, it stops reading data from the socket.  The current workaround is to use the proxy or to use some other mechanism to change the HTTP status code to 200 before the FP receives it. Yes I realize that this is pretty poor and has serious limitations.   One last note, Adobe is evidently working on something akin to the proxy that does this for you on your server. Clearly, this won't help you when accessing web services one machines over which you have no control.   Carson     From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of m88e24 Sent: Tue 6/20/2006 3:58 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Access SOAP fault code Scenario: Flash players talks directly to a SOAP web service, no proxy is used. The proxy attribute of the WebService element is set to "false". A specific web service operation generates an application level user exception and the faultcode and faultstring is returned in the SOAP body. The FaultEvent object received by the fault handler function does not contain the faultcode and the faultstring from the SOAP message. The faultDetail in the FaultEvent object is of type "ioError" and the error text is "Error #2032: Stream error …….." . Whilst the actual SOAP faultcode is "soapenv:Server.userException" and the SOAP faultstring is "coldfusion.xml.rpc.CFCInvocationException: [coldfusion.runtime.UndefinedElementException : Element SPELER.ID is undefined in SESSION." This is custom exception thrown by a remote function in a ColdFusion CFC. This is not an ioError. A TCPmonitor shows the correct message request and response with the faultstring and faultcode as expected. How can the actual SOAP faultcode and faultstring be retrieved from the FaultEvent or in any other way. Why is the fault description in the FaultEvent object totally different from the actual SOAP fault message. It is not a transport error so why does the FaultEvent shows an ioError. It is an application level exception and as such returned to the Flash application encapsulated in the SOAP body.
