RE: [flexcoders] HTTPService Error event

[Tracy Spratt]

Your call is an update call, but is it returning someithig to Flex
anyway? On all HTTPService calls, I have the backend wrap my data in a
status node, and for update calls, I just return the empty status node
with status="sucess".  This lets me tell the user when the update
happens successfully, or navigate somewhere else, or do whatever I want.

 

If you are not retuning anything, perhaps Flex sees this as a fault.

Hi Scott,

 

I have been through many Flex Tutorials but unfortunately our world
lacks of tutorials for connectivity with ColdFusion. I am an experianced
CF developer but unfortunately I cannot figure out how to proceed with
data through Flex and CF. 

 

Indeed - your way is much easier to write and better to understand than
the one that I have posted. I will keep that one :-) Thanks!

 

But still... the 'fault' function in the HTTPService tag is always
triggered! Even with your own way.

 

How can I handle this? All I want is to be able to 'alert' the users
that there is some kind of error (I know how to get the exact error
message through the event handler) but I have no clue how to trigger
this function if and only if there is some kind of problem in my CFM
file. 

 

any ideas?

 

Thanks,

George

Re: [flexcoders] HTTPService Error event

[George Georgiou]

I am playing around with all available ways to achieve this.

It's a good time to ask - in order to deploy an application with cf flash
remoting to a production server, does my hosting provider need to provide
something more than just CF 7.02?

thanks,
George

Re: [flexcoders] HTTPService Error event

[Scott - FastLane]

George -

I figured maybe the way you were passing params was incorrect and thus 
causing the fault event that you are catching.  I don't use ColdFusion, 
I use Java Servlets on the back end.  But, should be very similar.  I 
get the fault event only when the servlet cannot be called at all.  I 
use result codes, error messages, embedded in my application XML 
returned from the back end to indicate application error information.  
So... from my experience, I would guess that your fault event that you 
are catching indicates that your back end is not getting called 
correctly.  Have you put a debugger or tracing in your cfm file and 
verified that it is actually getting called successfully?
