Hi Carey, Thanks for your help. You've put me on the right track. Looks like I need to create JavaScript that uses setEventHandler Method. I didn't release that the server calls to the Java Module were indirect via the web session. I think I can understand there reasoning for doing it this way. It's a shame that there's very little documentation on this good feature.
Thanks, Graham -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carey Matthew Black Sent: 22 August 2007 15:03 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Data Visualisation Event Handling using PERFORM-ACTION-SEND-EVENT Graham, I have some of my own sample code working... and I must confess that the model is still a bit confusing to me.So this is just a first read over your code... testing should be done... I think your problem is that you have an event handler set up for "MidEvent" and you passing an event called "MYTESTEVENT". Try sending PERFORM-ACTION-SEND-EVENT F536870916 MidEvent "$message$" See if that shows up in your logs. If it does then you need to add an event handler for "MYTESTEVENT" so that the browser knows what to do with that JavaScript call.
