RE: [flexcoders] datagrid does not display http data

[Robert Brueckmann]

Instead of creating an alert with the result attribute of the HTTPService request, make a call to a method that would set the dataprovider to the resulting XML.   The problem is, when the datagrid is created, the XML from the HTTPService isn’t ready yet, so you need to reset the dataprovider of the datagrid once the XML is actually returned.  So try something like:   <mx:HTTPService id="catalogContents" contentType="application/xml" method="GET" protocol="http" resultFormat="xml"      url="" href="http://localhost:8080/protocore/getCatalogContents">http://localhost:8080/protocore/getCatalogContents" fault='alert(event.fault.faultstring,"",mx.controls.Alert.OK)' result=”setData(event.result);” resultFormat=”object”>   <mx:Script> public function setDate(result:Object) { catalogGrid.dataProvider = result.element; } </mx:Script> <mx:DataGrid id="catalogGrid" height="100%" width="100%" dataProvider="{catalogContents.result.element}"> …   Not sure if that code will actually work but that’s the general gist of it.   Robert L.

The code is : <mx:HTTPService id="catalogContents" contentType="application/xml" method="GET" protocol="http" resultFormat="xml"      url="" href="http://localhost:8080/protocore/getCatalogContents">http://localhost:8080/protocore/getCatalogContents" fault='alert(event.fault.faultstring,"",mx.controls.Alert.OK)' result='alert("Catalog OK","",mx.controls.Alert.OK)'> <mx:DataGrid id="catalogGrid" height="100%" width="100%" dataProvider="{catalogContents.result.element}"> Returned XML is like : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <elements> <element Key="Key" Name="Name" Dir="Dir" lang="lang" nloc="nloc" npar="npar" UNKNOWN1="UNKNOWN1" UNKNOWN2="UNKNOWN2" Status="Status" Anom="Anom" label="label0" /> <element Key="BAT000000" Name="COA034" Dir="A1/PRG" lang="Cobol" nloc="944" npar="649" UNKNOWN1="58" UNKNOWN2="" Status="CORRECT" Anom="OK" label="label1" /> <element ...> </elements> I know that the Server part is OK, as I am able to display raw XML code in the following TextArea: <mx:TextArea text="{catalogContents.result}"/> I tried the same, with XML compiled statically, and it works : <mx:Model id="catalogContentsModel" ource="D:\\src\\Flex\\Phoenix-proto\\cataloContents.xml" /> <mx:DataGrid id="catalogGrid" dataProvider="{catalogContentsModel.result.element}"> Help would be greatly needed, I tried many different combinations of returned XML without success (like returning <mx:Array>/<mx:Object> tags, specifying the object attributes as XML attributes or as XML elements, nothing work) Am I *really* an idiot as I seem to be the only one with this problem.   This message contains information from Merlin Securities, LLC, or from one of its affiliates, that may be confidential and privileged.
