createItem Error

[mark_in_fl]

Hello,

I am using a data service configured as follows:



<destination id="hr_itemsvc">



<adapter ref="java-dao" />



<properties>


<source>com.trl.flexds.assemblers.TimeItemAssembler</source>

<scope>application</scope>



<metadata>

<identity property="itemId" type="java.lang.Long"/>

</metadata>



<network>

<session-timeout>20</session-timeout>

<paging enabled="false" pageSize="10" />

<throttle-inbound policy="ERROR" max-frequency="500"/>

<throttle-outbound policy="REPLACE"
max-frequency="500"/>

</network>



</properties>

</destination>



The assembler is declared as:
public class TimeSheetAssembler extends AbstractAssembler

and implements the method:
public void createItem(Object oTarg)

When I make the ActionScript call:
dsTimeItem.createItem(oItem); (dsTimeItem defined by:
dsTimeItem = new DataService("hr_itemsvc");),

I get the error:
"Could not locate sync-method for destination hr_itemsvc"

According to the documentation, I do not have to define a
"sync-method" when I implement an assembler. Why am I getting this
error?



Thanks for any assistance,

Mark

Because of this
new DataService("hr_itemsvc");



You may want to create a temporary object first then call
your createItem.

Hi Mark,



Can you provide the full error/fault information? I don't see
that specific error string.



When you extend the AbstractAssembler you're right, you don't
need to define your sync-method in the config file as the Assembler
interface defines the required methods. As long as your assembler
implements Assembler or extends AbstractAssembler you shouldn't be
hitting the code path that checks for a sync method.



Thanks,

Seth

The exact error message is:

Error: Unable to locate a sync method for destination
hr_itemsvc.



The error has since gone away. My workaround was to create
multiple destinations for the same assembler class. I am using one
destination without fill and sync methods defined; the other
destination has several fill methods and one sync method defined,
for use in a different part of the application. I have found it
necessary to use the fill methods, even though the assembler
extends abstract assembler, because I have not been successful in
extracting the parameters from the fillParameters list that is
passed by default to the fill method.



I now have a new and more frustrating problem, which I am
posting to a new thread: "UnsupportedOperationException"
