The value you want to pass needs to be in the text node, not in an
attribute. Something like:
<Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI>X</Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI>
Also, this declarative syntax is hard to debug. I suggest invoking your
call in an as function:
var sValue:String = "X":
var oRequest:Object ={ Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI : sValue };
myService.send(oRequest);

Subject: [flexcoders] Web service, parameters, errors... Help please
I'm new to Flex and web services. I've created a web service in PeopleSoft
and successfully imported the WSDL into Flex so that it has contacted the PS
server and returned data (using mx:WebService and mx:Operation code I found
examples of). However, I have been unable to pass a parameter to the service
from Flex using that code. I then discovered and followed the sample code in
the Flex-generated package, but no matter what I do I cannot successfully
supply the "myValue" in the sample shown below. Here is Flex's own text in
my GetInfo.as file built by Flex:
* MXML sample code:
* First you need to map the package where the files were generated to a
namespace, usually on the <mx:Application> tag, like this:
xmlns:ws="com.draper.*"
* Define the service and within its tags set the request wrapper for the
desired operation
* <ws:GetInfo id="myService">
* <ws:FindID_request_var><ws:FindID_request
Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI=myValue/>
* </ws:FindID_request_var>
* </ws:GetInfo>
* Then call the operation for which you have set the request wrapper value
above, like this:
* <mx:Button id="myButton" label="Call operation"
click="myService.FindID_send()" />
My code is:
<ws:GetInfo id="userRequest">
<ws:findID_request_var><ws:FindID_request
Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI="X"/>
</ws:findID_request_var>
</ws:GetInfo>
When I try to run it, Flex is unhappy with the value I am assigning ("X"
above) no matter what I put there. If I omit the double quotes and try to
assign a text input field value (which is my goal here), it complains that
it expects a double quote. If I put almost anything else there, it complains
either:
Initializer for 'Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI'; values of type
com.draper.Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CITypeShape cannot be represented as
text.
or, if I try this line, where I attempt to pass a text input field:
<ws:FindID_request Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI="{compID.text}"/>
then I get:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type
com.draper:Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CITypeShape
Can anyone help with this please?
Thanks
Jim
