[flexcoders] UTC Date in Webservice operation request
Hi All, I am struggling with a webservice call that looks like this: mx:WebService id=testWS wsdl=http://localhost:8000/TestService?wsdl; result=handleResult(event); fault=handleFault(event); load=handleLoad(event); useProxy=false mx:operation name=testOP_1 result=handleResult(event); fault=handleFault(event); mx:request pDateMon Jan 29 10:30:59 2007/pDate pOneOne/pOne pTwoTwopTwo /mx:request /mx:operation mx:operation name=testOP_2 result=handleResult(event); fault=handleFault(event); mx:request ptesting/p /mx:request /mx:operation /mx:WebService The opearation testOP_1 expects a UTC date in pDate parameter of the request. Now when i call this operation as testWS.testOP_1.send(); I get a fault in my fault handler [RPC Fault faultString=Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. faultCode=EncodingError faultDetail=null] I am using a network sniffer to look at the network traffic and when I make the above call I don't see any network traffic. On the other hand if I make a call to the second operation testOP_2 which does not have a date involved it works fine and I see proper SOAP request and responses sent over the network. Also if I fiddle with request that I am sending the testOP_1 and do not send the date at all I get and HTTP request error as expected but there is proper exchange of soap packets that happens. I don't understand why flex is not sending any soap request when it has a UTC date in it. I would be grateful if all you flex experts out there could help. Thank you, Mrinal Wadhwa

[flexcoders] HTTPService GET request headers
Hi all, This may be too simple a question but I'm new and can't seem to find an answer, please help How do I set a header in a HTTP GET request? The documentation says that HTTPService takes an Object in the headers property ... what should this Object look like ... a String?? A simple example would be of enormous help ... thanking everyone in advance. With regards, Mrinal

Thanks Peter :) --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Peter Farland [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You literally create an Object, with header names as the property names and header values as property values. var headers:Object = new Object(); headers[CustomHeaderA] = SomeValue; headers[CustomHeaderB] = SomeValue; Note that if you're not using the FDS Proxy (i.e. the default state for HTTPService is useProxy=false), your request will ultimately make use of the Flash Player API URLRequestHeader, which has some restrictions on the headers that can be set.

[flexcoders] Re: My flex app's content on google search
Thanks a lot JD .. That was exacly the kind of info I was looking for Maintaining sitemap looks like the solution for me. I plan to store my blog content in an xml and not in a database as I want to avoid having a server side component like a Java Servelet or something ... so for now it will be a plain old HTTPService fetching an xml ... if you have any suggestions for such a setup that would help me get better viability for my blog content and hopefully a better PageRanks .. do let me know.

I don't know whether your weblog will use a database or not, so couldn't guess what each engine might see. But the major search engines recently converged on a sitemap proposal, which particularly helps dynamic sites... if you create a map with each post's keywords then you can assign parameterized URLs to help invoke the desired application state for various types of Flex front ends to a weblog database. http://www.sitemaps.org/faq.html http://weblogs.macromedia.com/jd/archives/2006/11/swf_seo_rip.cfm Is this the type of info you were seeking...? jd -- John Dowdell .

[flexcoders] Re: My flex app's content on google search
Well John would be better person to answer that but now as I think I wonder ... even if I present the search engine with a sitemap will it be able to index content that is brought into the swf at runtime using an HTTPService :? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, slangeberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The search engines have looked inside static SWF for quite some time You'd have to tell me how that was done. There is a pertinent comment at the second site that I agree with, at this time: (Rich media and advanced interactive features are never going to be indexed conventionally anyway, so Flash is and always has been superb for embedding such things into sites) -Scott On 11/30/06, mrinal.wadhwa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank you Scott and JD ...
