I pass false to my begin() method and that stops the DataServiceException from happening, but now nothing seems to happen after I commit(). Here's a current code snippet:
DataServiceTransaction dst = DataServiceTransaction.begin(false); dst.refreshFill("myTasks", null); dst.commit(); The destination parameter for refreshFill(), is that the same string as the parameter I pass to the DataService constructor in ActionScript and the name of the <destination> I set up in data-management-config.xml? (i.e. __ds = new DataService("myTasks"); <destination id="myTasks"> ) I would expect to get a hit on the fill() method in my Assembler after the commit() is called, but I ain't gettin' nut'in. Ideas?
