RE: [flexcoders] Grr, HTTPService doesn't work when it should

[Clinton D. Judy]

I tried Charles, and discovered I was sending this to Rails:

 

<> 

 

This doesn't seem right, and sure enough, Rails is throwing errors when
it receives that. So it's gotta be my HTTPService, but I don't know
where to begin fixing it.

I tried this, it didn't work. I thought you still referred to the first
element in an array in Flex, not its parent class. Are you sure my
HTTPService is fine?

I think at least you need to change:

 

checkJobs.lastResult.jobs.job

 

to:

 

checkJobs.lastResult.jobs

 

the DataGrid is expecting a list of jobs, not just a single job.

This may be a simple problem, but Flex shuts down hard when I try this
code:

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Application

      xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";

      layout="vertical" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="top"

      width="100%" height="100%" creationComplete="checkJobs.send()">

      <mx:Script>

            <![CDATA[

                  import mx.controls.Alert;

                  import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;

            ]]>

      </mx:Script>

      <mx:HTTPService id="checkJobs"
url="http://127.0.0.1:3001/jobs.xml"; useProxy="false"
contentType="application/xml" method="POST" />

      <mx:DataGrid id="jobs" width="100%" height="60%"
dataProvider="{checkJobs.lastResult.jobs.job}">

            <mx:columns>

                  <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Name" dataField="name"
/>

                  <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="ECMS" dataField="ecms"
/>

            </mx:columns>

      </mx:DataGrid>

      <mx:Button label="check jobs" click="checkJobs.send()" />

</mx:Application>

 

 

And the accompanying XML file:

 

 

<jobs type="array">

  <job>

    <created-at type="datetime">2008-05-19T10:35:48-04:00</created-at>

    <display-order type="integer" nil="true"/>

    <ecms>1923</ecms>

    <id type="integer">1</id>

    <job-id nil="true"/>

    <name>199238GAME</name>

    <updated-at type="datetime">2008-05-19T10:35:48-04:00</updated-at>

  </job>

  <job>

    <created-at type="datetime">2008-05-19T14:20:52-04:00</created-at>

    <display-order type="integer" nil="true"/>

    <ecms>1553</ecms>

    <id type="integer">2</id>

    <job-id nil="true"/>

    <name>asdgggd</name>

    <updated-at type="datetime">2008-05-19T14:20:52-04:00</updated-at>

  </job>

</jobs>

 

 

Why isn't the datagrid being populated?
