Basic Remoting Problem
|
|
| Merrill, Jason 2005-06-27, 5:45 pm |
| Hi all - first time here. Not a lot of luck on Flashcoders (but thanks
to those who tried if they are on this list), so I thought I would try
this list. I'm a Remoting virgin, (but not Actionscript) and I'm trying
to follow the HelloWorld application example in the LiveDocs, but am not
getting something right. My ColdFusion experience is minimal - I have
completed the Figleaf course and that's it. =20
So, the setup: I have a dynamic text field on the stage with an
instance name of "messageDisplay". The problem is the only thing I see
is in my trace
window:
6/24 17:56:37 [INFO] : Invoking helloWorld on remoteservices
And that's it. =20
The Code:
My ColdFusion component file is "HelloWorld.cfc" and only contains the
following:
<cfcomponent>
=09<cffunction name=3D"helloWorld" access=3D"remote">
=09 <cfreturn "Hello World">
=09</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
I have tested this and other cfc and cfm files in the same location and
confirm they work in a browser. The URL on my local machine is:
http://localhost/com/macromedia/test/HelloWorld.cfc
I have installed the 2.0 remoting classes and components and have no
problems importing them. My Actionscript is in a file in the same
location as HelloWorld.cfc and is as follows:
import mx.remoting.Service;=20
import mx.services.Log;=20
import mx.rpc.RelayResponder;=20
import mx.rpc.FaultEvent;=20
import mx.rpc.ResultEvent;=20
import mx.remoting.PendingCall;=20
import mx.remoting.RecordSet;
// connect to service and create service object
var howdyService:Service =3D new
Service("http://localhost/com/macromedia/test/HelloWorld.cfc",
=09
new Log(),
=09
"remoteservices",
=09
null,=20
=09
null );
// call the service helloWorld() method
var pc:PendingCall =3D howdyService.helloWorld();
// tell the service what methods handle result and fault conditions
pc.responder =3D new RelayResponder( this, "helloWorld_Result",
"fault_Fault" ); =20
function helloWorld_Result(result:ResultEvent){
=09// display successful result
=09messageDisplay.text =3D flash.result;
=20 trace("helloWorld_Result called");
}
=09 =20
function fault_Fault(fault:FaultEvent){
=09//display fault returned from service
=09messageDisplay.text =3D fault.fault.faultstring;
}
Where have I erred? Thanks for any insight.

| Add this up top:
NetDebug.initialize();
Then, open up your NetConnection Debugger, and tell us what it prints out.

| Thanks. Still nothing though. I think part of my problem is
understanding the gateway thing. This gives a type mismatch error:
var howdyService:Service =3D new
Service("http://localhost/flashservices/gateway/",
=09
"com.macromedia.HelloWorld.cfc",
new Log(),
"remoteservices",

doesn't trace anything other than "6/27 16:2:4 [INFO] : Invoking
helloWorld on com.macromedia.HelloWorld.cfc"
var howdyService:Service =3D new Service(

ResponseURI: (undefined)=20
Parameters (object #2)
......code: "Server.ResourceNotFound"
......description: "Service com.macromedia.HelloWorld.cfc not found."
......details: ""
......level: "error"
......type: ""
How does the path to the service work? I have my cfc in the following
location:
C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\com\macromedia\tes
t\HelloWorld.cfc
Where wwwroot is the root of my webserver.
C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\com\macromedia\tes
t\ is also the same location as
my Flash file.

| I thought your CFC location was com.macromedia.test.HelloWorld? Why is the
error referring to com.macromedia.HelloWorld? Personally I'd do away with
all the subfolders, I usually stick my cfc's into wwwroot/sitename/cfc
Check your paths carefully. Also double check your spelling for
uppercase/lowercase errors. You are close.
Stefan

| OK - got it mostly working now, thanks for everyone's help thus far - as
Stefan suggested, it was the path to the cfc. I'm so close now, HOWEVER
(and I know this will be an easy one, I just don't know where in the
docs this is explained), I'm still not able to retrieve the actual
value, even though my trace message says it received it. My trace
message says,=20
"helloWorld_Result called =20
6/28 10:54:12 [INFO] : com.macromedia.test.HelloWorld.helloWorld()
returned "Hello World"
The function is written as:
function helloWorld_Result(result:ResultEvent){
=09// display successful result
=09messageDisplay.text =3D flash.result; //how to get the value?
=09 //shows as "undefined"
=20 trace("helloWorld_Result called"); //this is called OK
}
The online example uses flash.result - but what is that? Is "flash"
some sort of actual object or just pseudocode? The LiveDocs example
does not make this clear. Result traces OK as [object Object] - but how
to get the actual string of the result?
Thanks for any help. =20
