Well, just for anyone interested, I did a little more digging and there is an Apache-Weblogic connector that is used and there are settings for this connector:
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/plugins/plugin_params.html The one of interest for those with similar setups is 'WLIOTimeoutSecs'. The default is 5 minutes, any request that takes longer is considered timed out and I guess a 503 (?) status is sent to Flex but Flex isn't catching this and just acts like it's still waiting for a response. I changed this setting to 10 minutes and the process that was previously finishing past 5 minutes still takes the same amount of time but Flex app regains control now because the request hadn't timed out. robert l. brueckmann vice president merlin securities 712 fifth avenue new york, ny 10019 p: 212.822.4821 f: 212.822.4820 Merlin Securities - #1 Prime Broker North America and #1 Prime Broker Single Strategy Funds - Global Custodian 2007 #1 Prime Broker for Hedge Funds under $1 Billion - Alpha Survey 2007 From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Brueckmann Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 10:11 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - RemoteObject request timeout We still support a Flex 1.5 app I wrote 3 years ago that our clients use to run reports with. I'm in the midst of upgrading the entire app to Flex 2+, but of course the db people keep adding reports and one recently added report is for the admin-side only and is a crude report that can sometimes take over 5 minutes to return from the database with data. We have a setup as follows: Apache + Weblogic + firewall + Oracle database. Here's the weird thing...if only one person runs the report at any given time...it may take about 4.5 minutes, I see the call made to the database, I watch the log and see after 4+ minutes, the call to the stored procedure return to the application server and the original method return to the front-end and Flex correctly displays the report. If I open two browsers or have a coworker hit the report within a few seconds of my initial request and these two requests are made, a.) the call to the database takes a minute or so longer (I know the db people need to optimize this, but this is what I'm dealing with up front) and b.) I see it come back and the data returned to the front-end but the Flex app on either my or my coworker's machine or either browser (dependent on how I'm testing) does not get the returned response. The clock busy cursor just continues to spin. I've searched the archives and it seems a few people have posted similar problems but nobody has posted what their absolute resolution was. Anyone know anything about this? I literally see the data returned to the Flex application in the app server log but my Cairngorm command class result/fault handlers never capture anything and the busy cursor just keeps spinning. Anyone know anything about this or should I make use of my Flex support contract? Could this be a timeout between the apache and weblogic layer? I checked with the systems guys and they claim that the request timeout feature of apache isn't being used but I don't know if there is a default setting that apache uses...I guess I'll check that out...but any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks so much for anything! rlb Merlin Securities - #1 Prime Broker North America and #1 Prime Broker Single Strategy Funds - Global Custodian 2007 #1 Prime Broker for Hedge Funds under $1 Billion - Alpha Survey 2007 ________________________________ This message contains information from Merlin Securities, LLC, or from one of its affiliates, that may be confidential and privileged.
