Hello All, Thank you very much for your help! As far as an HTTP sniffer, I have used Firebug for Firefox and HTTPWatch for IE, but to no avail. I cannot seem to find where the response is in the watch output. I prefer Firebug for this type of debugging, so if somebody knows where I should be able to find the XML response from the service, that would be great!
As far as the code, here it is (in fragments). Oh, you can tell that I am just trying to modify the restaurant web service example from Adobe, and I still have not changed some of the method nor function names (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/samples/restaurant/ <http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/samples/restaurant/> ). If you pull up that example, then the below code snippets are from ServiceLocator.as, ReviewsList.mxml, and TokenResponder.as. I have renamed some of the classes, but other than that, most of the code is the same.: Thank you! Jeremy // gets the instance of the service (ServiceLocator.as). public static function getBnxService():AbstractService { if (bnxService == null) { var ws:WebService = new WebService(); // ws.wsdl = "http://flexapps.macromedia.com/ws/services/RestaurantWS?wsdl";; ws.wsdl = "http://bnx-int-next.temp.com/tempservice/services/TempService?wsdl";; /* if you want to use your own WebService adjust the following url to match your setup and comment out the one above */ //ws.wsdl = "http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/services/RestaurantWS\ ?wsdl"; ws.useProxy = false; ws.showBusyCursor = true; ws.loadWSDL(); bnxService = ws; } return bnxService; } // ------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ------------------------------- // Calling the service... this is from the mxml file that will render the results (ReviewsList.mxml): private function initComp():void { service = BnxServiceLocator.getBnxService(); addEventListener("focus", focusEventHandler); } public function set restaurant(restaurant:Object):void { // When the restaurant changes: retrieve the list of reviews assets = null; _restaurant = restaurant; if (restaurant != null) { // Alert.show(service.getMyFolderContents("0b7dea6680024809"), "does this show"); var token: AsyncToken = AsyncToken(service.getFolderContents("0b7dea6680024809")); // Specify that we want the 'getReviewsResult' function to be called when the call completes. // See control.RestaurantService.as for details on how the resultHandler token is used to invoke getReviewsResult. token.addResponder(new TokenResponder(getAssetsResult, "Error Retrieving Asset")); } } // ------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ------------------------------ // The TokenResponder.as class: package samples.restaurant { import mx.controls.Alert; import mx.rpc.IResponder; import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent; /** * A simple responder that will call the result function specified but * handles any fault by simply raising an Alert with the specified title. */ public class TokenResponder implements IResponder { private var resultHandler:Function; private var faultTitle:String; public function TokenResponder(result:Function, faultTitle:String=null) { super(); resultHandler = result; this.faultTitle = faultTitle; } public function result(data:Object):void { resultHandler(data); } public function fault(info:Object):void { //the info object from an AsyncToken is always a FaultEvent Alert.show(FaultEvent(info).fault.toString(), faultTitle); } } } // finally back to the mxml for displaying the results private function getAssetsResult(event:ResultEvent):void { Alert.show(event.message.toString(),"testing"); //deserialize the anonymous review objects into //a strongly typed instance var temp:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); var source:Array = ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result.source); Alert.show("source length: " + source.length,"number of assets"); for (var i:int=0; i < source.length; i++) { //Review knows how to take an anonymous object //and copy the properties over temp.addItem(new Asset(source[i])); } assets = temp; } // ------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ------------------------------------- // here is the xml for displaying the results --- ReviewsList.mxml <!-- The ReviewThumbnailRepeater creates ReviewThumbnails for each review.
