I am experiencing problems with the <mx:WebService>
capability within my Flex 2.0 applications. Please find attached a
brief sample that should help to illustrate the problems.
If you compile and run the attached code with the default
input, you should see the web-service call results in a fault
during the decode sequence. However, if you run the same example
with the following web-based soap client (note you must supply the
URL of the corresponding WSDL), you should see that the web-service
works fine.
http://www.soapclient.com/soapclient.com/soaptest.htmlhttp://www.lyricwiki.org/server.php?wsdlInterestingly enough, the web-service call within the
supplied Flex application does not fail when supplying input that
is not found, such as when modifying the default artist input to
”Beagles”.
I can’t imagine a simpler web-service test within a
Flex 2.0 application, nor can I see any coding mistakes based upon
my understanding after thoroughly reading the supplied Flex 2.0
documentation.
Regards.
