newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest Problem

[Ram Sharma]

Hi,

I am trying this in php shindig samplecontainer :

     var data1 = Math.random() * 5;
     var data2 = Math.random() * 100;
     var data3 = new Date().getTime();
     var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
     req.add(req.newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest("VIEWER", "AppField1",
data1));
     req.add(req.newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest("VIEWER", "AppField2",
data2));
     req.add(req.newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest("VIEWER", "AppField3",
data3));
     req.send(handlePopulateMyAppData, "update_appdata");

But when request is made it sends only AppField3 key. AppField1 and
AppField2 doesn't get updated.

However the same code works fine , if I use different request keys, i.e.
     req.add(req.newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest("VIEWER", "AppField1",
data1),"data1");
     req.add(req.newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest("VIEWER", "AppField2",
data2),"data2");
     req.add(req.newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest("VIEWER", "AppField3",
data3),"data3");
     req.send(handlePopulateMyAppData, "update_appdata");


I read in opensocial api reference that :
"if you try to update a person's app data using a previously-defined key,
the new value will simply replace the existing value."
in this key is "blank" or "undefined",is  that means it gets overwrite each
time and finally last key will be sent ?

Not sure, whetehr this is excatly an issue for php Shindig, but in other
containers like Orkut/MySpace accept blank request key is also accepted, and
you can update n different data in one go , without any request key.
Even java shindig works fine without request Key.
