ActionScript 3.0 :: Sharepoint SOAP Webservice Wraps Result (including Xml) In CData?
Mar 24, 2009
I am developing a microsite for a client. The client uses Sharepoint as their main CMS and they want the site to be driven by sharepoint.The problem is that the entire result set is wrapped with Cdata ... not just the content data. Below you can see this (some stuff has been removed to anonymize the data), and this is giving me serious problems trying to parse it.Raw data (service inspector)
I guess I could write a parser that replaced the html entities for <,>," and ' with the actual characters but that is a crappy hack IMO. I have asked the client to try to wrap the fields and attribute data with CData instead of the whole result set but they are unsure if it is a sharepoint specific thing.
I have My Sharepoint Web Service URL, but when i try to access it i get HTTP Request Error. My Share point Webservice has credentials in it. I have also set that in Flex.
webService.setRemoteCredentials("CITMOSSAdministrator","Pa$$w0rd"); When i trace the url, my console does read the XML, but i am unable to call the method. It throws me HTTP Request Error.
UPDATE: The problem was not to do with namespaces or flex at all. My webservice was returning the wrapped xml. I was blaming the language I had least experience with before questioning the java...I have a basic soap webservice that I am having trouble reading the result from in flex.I'm a solid java programmer and just trying to get my head around adobe flex.In the documentation I should be able to use "WebService" to return the result in e4x format.
Unfortunately, the event object seems to nested and encoded strangely. When I step trough with the debugger I see that responseXml is of type XMLList containing one element (at index 0) of type XML which just contains the following xml:
I start the service in Actionscript with:[code]My issue is that the server that my WSDL is on, seems to be very slow, and the WSDL file is very large. So it takes around 5 seconds to initially grab the WSDL file. This wouldn't be too bad, but for what I am doing I need to create about 5 or more WebService objects all using the same WSDL (this is a must). It seems pointless to download the WSDL for each new object when I know it is the same.What I am wanting is a way to maybe cache the WSDL locally, or in flash(maybe as an XML object), then apply it to a new WebService object. Or even if someone could tell me how to access the data inside the WebService Object and apply it to a new one.
I have tried a few ideas. I tried using a "clone object" script to clone the WebService object once the original has loaded the WSDL. But it crashed flash because the loop is too big.Is this a case to use a "prototype"? I'm not too sure what it even is. Would it be useful in this situation?
When I call this WebService the Flex debugger shows the type of the ResultEvent.result is "ObjectProxy".When I try to cast this value as XML, it traces as "[object Object]", and I cannot access the XML nodes. For most other WebServices I call, the ResultEvent.result is of type "Array", and converts to XML with no problem. What can I do to store this result as XML?
I get the webservice(spring WebService) response properly ,but the event.result object is null.I can see the SOAP response body in the event.message.body variable.
now, the problem ... I cant extract the [CDATA[57.14]],[CDATA[14.29]] & ![CDATA[28.57]] to use it ... I tried several things with firstChild,ChildNodes, but no luck ... any one has a simple solution to put all this in an Array so i can get the stuff out to use it ..
I'm trying to include some JavaScript (JSON 2, to be precise)in with some ActionScript 3 classes. I'm using the inline XML method (E4X) of declaring the data. It looks like this:
public static var JSON_2:XML = <data><![CDATA[ if (!this.JSON) { JSON = function () {[code]....
Actually, this is only about a quarter of what I need to include but this is where it breaks down. Right after the second slash in the last line, Flash reports: TypeError: Error #1091: XML parser failure: Unterminated CDATA section.
In fact, as you can see this is a perfectly valid CDATA section and isn't being terminated anywhere (there is no instance of "]]>" anywhere in the data). Unfortunately, Flash doesn't think so and seems to think that the backslash is an XML node directive. how to effectively deal with this? The JSON source code has *many* backslashes so not having to convert them would be *very* useful.
I'm looking to consume SOAP services -- read only -- from a third party web service. I know Flex has strong SOAP functionality. I am wondering, however, if there is any benefit to using e.g. Ruby or PHP to consume those 3rd party services and then passing the results to Flex, versus doing it all in Flex. Other than decoupling the client code from the SOAP logic, I can't really think of one.
We would like to display flash video files (tutorials) on our Sharepoint site.Problem is, we cannot seem to either stop it from auto-playing (using the Windows Media Player) or start it playing by clicking (using flash embed).We have a Content Editor WebPart with this code currently:
It loads an xml file from the site's webservice and retrieves all the data from a list.If you look at the xml, attribuevalue pairs they can be in any order from the webservice.Also depending on the list set up in sharepoint the column names in the list will be different and therefore the xml schema changes. It sets up the namespacesit the calls getRSAttribues (my shiney new piece of code It then creates a multidimensional array with the attribute names from the schema of the XML then queries the data with the dynamically set up attributes.Its my first bit of action script and i would like some advice on how to improve the getRSAttribues function as the array seems to have an extra level to it. Any advice on how i would go about making it into a method or a parser/class/whatever would be very interesting.
Code: var myXML:XML = new XML(); var XML_URL:String = "http://my.website.com/subsite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?
I am trying to read XML data from a SharePoint site. The issue I am having is that the flash project works just fine when I preview the swf in flash, however when I try to view it in HTML it does not load the XML file.Now the XML file is not a simple document that can live in the same folder as the swf. I have to use a link to a web page. This is the code that I am using (sorry. had to change the web address)
Actionscript Code: var testXML:XML = new XML();testXML.ignoreWhite = true;testXML.onLoad = function(success) if (!success) { trace("testXML did not load"); } else {
I'm creating a Flash game that will be placed in a Sharepoint page. Is there a way to export data from the Flash game (ex: the user's score) to a different Sharepoint page? I'd like to display the high scores of different players in Sharepoint. Note: I'm using ActionScript 2.0 So here is the sequence of events... Player completes Flash game embedded in a Sharepoint page Flash exports player's score to Sharepoint database Second Sharepoint page displays top ten player scores from database.
I have been trying to find a way to connect Flex to sharepoint in an elegant way that allows me to update lists, build charts, and create widgets with FLEX on the client-side. I have researched this extensively but I am running into circles.
I understand the basics of Flex data connection/webservices/etc... , I just can't seem to get my head around how to use the sharepoint list services.
i developed a short movie in actionscript 2.0 with all of the AS is in one frame, and i chose "loop" under publish settings. the swf file has been added to a web part on my sharepoint site, but the movie will not loop. how can i get it to loop infinitely? is there AS that i can add for this? or does some coding need to be added to the aspx file?
Is there any way to get the sum of items based on some filters from sharepoint list? I was trying to access the GetListItems method. But this returns all the items in the list. That makes the data heavy. My requirement is to get only the sum of items. For example items created in a specific year.I am trying to populate a chart in flex from the sharepoint list. Accessing all the items and then calculating the sum in flex will not work always where the list contains more items.
I am deploying a flex application in sharepoint as a web part. I am planning to use sharepoint user credentials for my flex application. My flex application consists of various different user roles like author,reviewer etc . An author should be able to see all the list of sharepoint users available and can make any number of them as reviewer or author . For this I require following functionality through sharepoint for my flex application:-
1) Getting list of all users of sharepoint
2) Getting the username of the current logged in user of sharepoint through the flex application, which is deployed as a web part in sharepoint.
I'm a complete newbie to SharePoint and I've been tasked to develop a SharePoint site with Flash content (Flash CS3 or CS5). I've done some quick research on this and I understand there are different ways to query SharePoint. I must say it's been a long process for me to try to piece different bits of information to achieve what I'm asked to do.
So here it is. Develop a site using SharePoint 2007 with Flash content.User input in the Flash objects will be stored.Previous user input will be retrieved and displayed in the Flash objects for reviewing purpose.User input will later be processed/manipulated for reporting purposes.Embed FLV videos on certain pages. I understand data can be saved as lists in SharePoint and you can create custom ASPX to get the lists and parse it as XML input for a Flash object. Can I reverse this process when it comes to saving data?
What would be the best approach to implement the above requirements in SharePoint 2007 environment?
Or, should I consider saving data in an external DB, say MSSQL, and having custom ASPX query that DB and generate XML for Flash objects? Or maybe any APIs that can make this process easier?
I have a small RIA that I built as a learning/make-my-life-easier project that uses Flex and ASP.Net. Currently, my architecture utilizes straight HTTP posts and the server responds with xml. I posted another question about security in my web app and some people mentioned SOAP. SOAP is something I've never actually used and I was wondering what the pros/cons were to using SOAP over my current architecture and then subsequently, how much work is require to convert such an application to utilize SOAP.
I've been tasked with producing a Flash movie which will retrieve (presumably as an array) a list of all the articles in our Sharepoint Portal 2003 news listing, and display the title and abstract text, one story at a time (looping through every item in the array).
I presume I need to use the WebServiceConnector, and point the WDSL URL to our Area's areaservice.amsx, and then presumably use the GetAreaListingData operation to retireve the data, and hopefully pipe the data out into a couple of dynamic text boxes,but beyond that I'm a bit lost. Talk about in at the deep end, but unfortunately as the only developer on site who knows anything at all about Flash, I'm up against it to get this completed as quickly as possible..
I want to connect to a SOAP web service in Flash. The SOAP web services is hosted on https and requires username and password. I can't find any documentation or libraries for this action.
