RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex and .net webservices
Thanks Ben,
Changing the data type to Number didn't help either. I'll have a look at
Darron's solution ...

Might want to try making employeeID a Number instead of an int. If
that doesn't work use this:

Hi Robin,
I have good news :), both of these issues should go away by setting a
single attribute on your WebService object. Try setting
makeObjectsBindable = false. This will cause Flex to deserialize your
ws responses into regular Object and Array instances instead of
ObjectProxy and ArrayCollection instances.

Hi Sam,
I've read your tutorial, good stuff. I've been using flourine for a while
in different projects but I haven't got the chance to use weborb.
As you've tried both of them, I was wondering if you can make a comparison
table or a pro and cons of each of them. It would be great.
BTW, how do you send nullable objects back and forth?
Cheers, Diego.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex and .net webservices
Hi Sam,
Remoting is definitely a good alternative and would probably make things
a bit easier. I'm not programming the .net side of things though and the
guys who are working on the backend are not too keen on using a
technology which is not established standards yet.
I had a look at Fluorine earlier this year and it looks very good
though

Thanks Ben,
I tried that. It still does not work ..:-(. I got rid of everything
which could cause errors. ...
Here's the code. I reckon this is as basic as it gets ...
public function onMyResult(event:ResultEvent):void
{
// this works fine
var myObject:Object =
Object(event.result);
// this causes an error
( Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
webserviceClasses.Employee.)
var myEmployee:Employee
= Employee(event.result);
// does not work
trace
(myEmployee.employeeName);
// does work
trace
(myObject.employeeName);
}
]]
/// the web service object
/mx:Script
mx:WebService showBusyCursor=true
wsdl=http://localhost/ComplexDataTypeService/Service1.asmx?WSDL;
id=myWebservice makeObjectsBindable=false
mx:operation name=getDetails result={
onMyResult (event)} resultFormat=object/
/mx:WebService
// the Employee object:
public class Employee (AS)
{
public var employeeName:String;
public var employeeID:int;
}
(c#)
public class Employee
{
public string employeeName;
public int employeeID;
}
Any ideas?

Hi Robin,
I have good news :), both of these issues should go away by setting a
single attribute on your WebService object. Try setting
makeObjectsBindable = false. This will cause Flex to deserialize your
ws responses into regular Object and Array instances instead of
ObjectProxy and ArrayCollection instances.
HTH,
Ben

Hi there,
I have been playing around .net and flex for a while. Primarily I want

2. When I receive a complex data type from a .net web service flex
creates an Object but when I try to cast this object to the dataType

represents I get a complier error, even though the received object has
exactly the same properties as underlying VO.
E.g. I get the following error code if I try to cast the result of a
webservice call to my custom data Type TelephoneNumber. Note casting
to an Object works fine.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
mx.utils::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to webserviceClasses.TelephoneNumber.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Darron's ObjectTranslator works perfectly - thanks for the tip! I still
have to do some manual work though since I'm going to have nested
VOs
