Ben,
What is the best way to go about handling the result from the
operations.send() call. I'm sure you must have to add an event
listener on the operations call.
I do not fully understand the Iresponder from your initial posting.
<<
You can optionally capture the token created by the call and assign a
responder as well:
var call:ASyncToken = op.send();
call.addResponder(IResponder);
The IResponder interface defines a result and fault method that are
called when the operation returns. >>
I tried to add that into my code and received the error:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: ASyncToken.
I believe I have all the proper classes imported:
import mx.rpc.soap.WebService;
import mx.rpc.soap.WSDL;
import mx.rpc.soap.*;
import mx.rpc.IResponder;
import mx.rpc.*;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.AsyncToken;
Now even if I get the error eliminated, how do you add a resultHandler
function to capture the xml returned from the operations call?
Maybe you can briefly explain how the AsyncToken and Iresponder work?
Here is my current snippet of code:
private function init():void{
var ws:WebService = new WebService;
ws.wsdl =
"http://www.myservice.com/services/InventoryService?wsdl";;
ws.useProxy = false;
ws.loadWSDL("http://www.myservice.com/services/InventoryService?wsdl";);
var op:Operation = ws.getOperation("getPhones") as
Operation;
op.arguments.projectId = 1;
op.resultFormat= "e4x";
//var call:ASyncToken = op.send(); //1046 error
//call.addResponder(IResponder);
op.send();
}
Thanks for all your help to far. It has definitely helped!!
