[flexcoders] Synchronous web service calls
OK, so I understand that Flex web service calls are asynchronous, and I understand the many cases where this makes sense since you don't have to hold up the UI experience while waiting for a web service or remote procedure to return a result. However, I keep running into instances where this makes my life hell. One example is the submission of an order on a Flex site I have. Because of the way the order is handled, it is split into multiple (smaller) orders and then each order is submitted/saved via a web service call. This means that one order could have 10+ web service calls. I have a Print Receipt button which then uses the saved order data to produce a PDF receipt. The problem is, if a user clicks Print Receipt before all the save order web services have finished, then they only get a partial receipt. There's also not an easy way to determine if all the web service calls are finished, so I can't disable/enable the button based on that. Is there any easy way to implement synchronous web service calls in Flex? Man, if I had the option of specifying with a property whether or not a web service should be synchronous or asynchronous, it would make my life *so* much easier!
RE: [flexcoders] Synchronous web service calls
why exactly cant you tell if all services have returned and been successful? I think synchronous is a real problem - what if the service never returns? you must have a fault/result methods of the call, you must know the number of calls per order? be interested to know more info to see if there are other solutions we could think of for you cheer mate glenn tinylion development UK www.flex-ria.com www.tinylion.co.uk From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of byte.sensei Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 2:49 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Synchronous web service calls OK, so I understand that Flex web service calls are asynchronous, and I understand the many cases where this makes sense since you don't have to hold up the UI experience while waiting for a web service or remote procedure to return a result.
