I don't know about the error, but I do know that this won't work: employeeSrv.send(); s = employeeSrv.result.locale.country;
Data Service calls are asynchronous and the result does not exist yet when you are trying to reference it. You MUST use a resultHandler called by the result event. <mx:HTTPService id="employeeSrv" ... result="onResult(event)".../> private function onResult(oEvent:Object):Void { sLocale = oEvent.result.locale.country; } Tracy -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of loveewind Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2005 5:06 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] why can not get the value? the purpose of my code is to get the client locale with httpservice 1.locale.jsp <locale> <% String s = request.getHeader("Accept-Language"); System.out.print("locale:"+s); %> <language><%=s.substring(0,2)%></language> <country><%=s.substring(3,5)%></country> </locale> if I visit the locale.jsp,it can display the the client locale 2.test.mxml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" > <mx:HTTPService id="employeeSrv" url="locale.jsp"> </mx:HTTPService> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ var s:String; function initApp(){ employeeSrv.send(); s = employeeSrv.result.locale.country; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Label text="{s}"></mx:Label> <mx:Button label="test" click="initApp();"></mx:Button> </mx:Application> if I visit the test.mxml, it show a error in my server : 17:05:12,822 INFO [STDOUT] locale:null 17:05:12,822 WARN [jbossweb] WARNING: Exception for /multi/locale.jsp java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.jsp.locale_jsp._jspService(locale_jsp.java:48) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service (HttpJspBase.java:137) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service (HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service (JspServletWrapper .java:210) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile (JspServlet.java:2 95) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service (JspServlet.java:241) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service (HttpServlet.java:853) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHolder.handle (ServletHolder.java:360 ) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.WebApplicationHandler.dispatch (WebApplicati onHandler.java:294) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.handle (ServletHandler.java:5 58) at org.mortbay.http.HttpContext.handle(HttpContext.java:1714) at org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.WebApplicationContext.handle (WebApplication Context.java:507) at org.mortbay.http.HttpContext.handle(HttpContext.java:1664) at org.mortbay.http.HttpServer.service(HttpServer.java:863) at org.jboss.jetty.Jetty.service(Jetty.java:460) at org.mortbay.http.HttpConnection.service (HttpConnection.java:775) at org.mortbay.http.HttpConnection.handleNext (HttpConnection.java:939) at org.mortbay.http.HttpConnection.handle (HttpConnection.java:792) at org.mortbay.http.SocketListener.handleConnection (SocketListener.java: 201) at org.mortbay.util.ThreadedServer.handle (ThreadedServer.java:289) at org.mortbay.util.ThreadPool$PoolThread.run (ThreadPool.java:455) 17:05:12,822 WARN [jbossweb] WARNING: Error 500 while serving error page for 50 0 17:05:12,853 ERROR [STDERR] 05/08 17:05:12 ERROR %%500%% Internal+Server+Error it likes can not execute request.getHeader("Accept-Language"); who can tell me the reason? thank you!
