Re: Flowscript continuation from external reply

[Simone Gianni]

Hi Andrew, I supposed you was not going to call a webservice (which is server to server comunication) but send the user to another site, and then receive back (thru the user browser) the result of the transaction. This is what i asked in the first few lines of my first answer. If you have to call a webservice (your server connects to the other server, the user notices nothing) then the aproach is radically different.

This is a clean solution, but involves one more step for the user. 2) Create a webContinuation in your flow (you can do this in _javascript_ flow), before the redirectTo. This way you have a "bookmark" in your flow the user can be redirected to, even if you haven't stopped the flow directly. This is quite a dirtier solution, but avoids the extra click. Here is the pseudocode: wouldn't a nicer way to be to call a webservice? So for example: var webServiceVal = cocoon.callWebservice(bizData.fname etc etc etc) try { if (webServiceVal == true) { }else{ } } catch (e) { //Some problem has occured msg2 = e.toString(); } How do I call a webservice and pass it parameters in flowscript?
