The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Calling Livecycle ES with mx.rpc.soap.WebService using ActionScript

Asked by MoreHeroic in Adobe Flex, ActionScript

Tags: , , ,

I have Livecycle ES installed on an application server (not the machine I'm calling from).  I have Flex 3 installed on my machine.  I'm coding up a custom-built Form Guide.  I'm trying to call a process on the Livecycle ES machine with mx.rpc.soap.WebService using ActionScript.  I was able to get it working with just one parameter, but now that I have many parameters it's puking on me.  I have tested the process by invoking from Workspace and it behaves as expected.  When I try it from the formguide/Flex AS I get an IO error.  Here's the pertinent code snippet:

      import mx.controls.Alert;
      import mx.events.FlexEvent;
    import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
      import mx.rpc.soap.LoadEvent;
      import mx.rpc.soap.Operation;
      import mx.rpc.soap.WebService;
      import xfamx.scripting.Xfa;
      import xfamx.utils.XMLUtils;
          
      private var stateService:WebService;
      private var _webServiceLoaded:Boolean = false; // flag noting when wsdl has been loaded
      
      private function initWebService():void {
            if (!stateService) {
                  stateService = new WebService();
                  stateService.wsdl = "http://xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/soap/services/SaveState?wsdl"; // replace this url
                  stateService.addEventListener(LoadEvent.LOAD, load_listener);
                  stateService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, fault_listener);
                  stateService.loadWSDL();
                  mx.controls.Alert.show('Initializing WSDL', 'Message');
            }
      }
      private function saveState():void {
            initWebService(); // init webservice
            if (_webServiceLoaded) { // is wsdl is loaded
                  //stateService.setRemoteCredentials("user", "password"); -- This doesn't seem to work anyway.
                  var xmlModel:XML = new XML(Xfa.instance.datasets.saveXML());
                  stateService.invoke.send('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',false,'',xmlModel..data,'asdf',false,'asdf');
                  mx.controls.Alert.show('State Sent!', 'Message');  // Comment this out later.
            } else { // else
                  callLater(saveState); // wait a frame and try again
            }
      }
      
      public function fault_listener(event:FaultEvent):void {
          mx.controls.Alert.show(event.fault.message, 'Message');
          mx.controls.Alert.show(event.fault.rootCause.toString(), 'Root Cause toString');
          mx.controls.Alert.show(event.fault.toString(), 'fault toString');
      }
      
      public function load_listener(event:LoadEvent):void {
            _webServiceLoaded = true; // mark wsdl as loaded so we know we can use the web service
            mx.controls.Alert.show('Initialized', 'Message');
      }


Generates the following error:

Fault toString:
[RPC Fault faultString="HTTP request error" faultCode="Server.Error.Request" faultDetail="Error: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/soap/services/SaveState"]. URL: http://xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/soap/services/SaveState"]

Root Cause toString:
[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/soap/services/SaveState"]

When I watch the transaction with Wireshark (PKA ethereal) I see the data send up base64 encoded, and then a 500 error coming back from the server.  So, I assume that I'm not sending the parameters correctly.  But I can't find anything about the correct formatting for sending multiple parameters to a LC ES Process using Flex 2 and ActionScript.  I don't want the mxml equivalent, I want the actionscript method.

I've already read the Adobe docs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/mx/rpc/soap/WebService.html  to no avail.

If there is a Flex expert out there, please help.  TYIAStart Free Trial
