Hi,
I am using Flex 2/Cairngorm2.2 in my project. I am trying to
fetch data (continously polling every 5 secs) from the flex server
(in a class that implements IResponder interface) using asyntoken
as below
var service:Object =
ServiceLocator.getInstance().getRemoteObject( "ratesService" );
var token : AsyncToken = service.getRatesCollection();
token.addResponder(this);
I have also implemented the result() and fault() methods in
this class. However, if I shut down my server, I observed that the
client continues to run for quite a while without any issues. In
debug mode, I noticed that the result() or fault() method of the
IResponder class does not get invoked. My idea was to capture a
null result object on the next polling event to detect that the
server was down and display a meaningful message to the client.
However, it doesn't seem to work that way. 2 questions:
1] What is the reason for this behavior?
2] How can I detect if my server is down?
Thanks in advance,
Vinay
