[flexcoders] Re: How do I add a header or additional post parameter to a RemoteObject Request

[jennie_mai_nguyen]

Valdhor, thanks for the reply. I actually call the function directly
on the service with the args: 

myService.getMyStuff(data1, data2);

I want to put uniqueToken on the POST request itself, so that I
don't have to change all the method signatures to include the token. 

When the request goes through a web filter in my app, I want to be
able to do something like
httpServletRequest.getParameter(uniqueToken) or putting it on the
header would work: httpServletRequest.getHeader(uniqueToken)

Is there any way to do this? Thanks again.

The only way I see to do what you want is to delve into sockets but
this would be a very difficult proposition.

I still think you are better off putting all your data into a generic
object (Or better yet, a VO) and pulling it out on the server. This
will give you a lot more flexibility in the future (If you need to add
another parameter, it is very simple to do so) for a bit of extra
effort to rewrite your accessor methods.

Maybe someone else here has an idea?

Hi Valdhor, I ended up doing what you first suggested by passing the
token in as a method argument. 

I process the token in
flex.messaging.endpoints.amf.MessageBrokerFilter. I then take out the
token from the parameter list after processing, so that the remote
APIs don't have to change their signatures.

Not sure if anyone would have a requirement like this, but I'm putting
it up here in case it helps.

Thanks again.

[valdhor]

Just send an object as the parameter that you send:

var myService:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject();
myService.source = myServices.MyService;
myService.destination = amfphp;
myService.requestTimeout = 30;
myService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, myResult);
myService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, faultHandler);

var myParameters:Object = new Object();
myParameters.data1 = data1;
myParameters.data2 = data2;
myParameters.uniqueToken = myUniqueToken ;
myService.getOperation('getMyStuff').send(myParameters);
