Calling Service Control from Page Flow

Question

In Workshop for Weblogic Platform v10.0, we have a web service control in a page flow.
Although the web service call succeeds (as evidenced by a TcpMon monitor), the control method always returns null.
I'm guessing that although the call looks synchronous, it's actually behaving asynchronously - returning immediately with null.
Is this perhaps related to the particulars of calling controls from a Page Flow environment? Is it a bug in v10 of Workshop (Eclipse-based?
Thanks for any ideas!

ps: Here's the control interface and using class:
package controls;
import com.bea.control.ServiceControl;
import org.apache.beehive.controls.api.events.EventSet;
import org.apache.beehive.controls.api.bean.ControlExtension;
@ServiceControl.Location(urls = {"http://LECAP1.lan.us.ray.com:9905/xsltTransform_vs0"})
@ServiceControl.HttpSoapProtocol
@ServiceControl.SOAPBinding(style = ServiceControl.SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, use = ServiceControl.SOAPBinding.Use.LITERAL, parameterStyle = ServiceControl.SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.BARE)
@ServiceControl.WSDL(resourcePath = "controls/cesXsltTransform.wsdl", service = "xsltTransform_vs0")
@ControlExtension
public interface xsltTransform_vs0ServiceControl extends ServiceControl
static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public java.lang.String xmlTransform(com.raytheon.schemas.ces.transformationservices.xmlschema.schema.TransformInput transformInput_arg);
/** This event set interface provides support for the onAsyncFailure event.
@EventSet(unicast=true)
public interface Callback extends ServiceControl.Callback {};
@Control
private xsltTransform_vs0ServiceControl xsltTransform_vs0ServiceControl1;
com.raytheon.schemas.ces.transformationservices.xmlschema.schema.TransformInput transformInput_arg = form
                    .getTransformInput_arg();
String xmlTransformResult = xsltTransform_vs0ServiceControl1
                    .xmlTransform(transformInput_arg);

Strange -- the PageFlowJspFilter adds no-cache headers to the response, so
if you're forwarding to a JSP from the action, then the browser shouldn't be
caching the result. What's in the URL bar in the case where your request is
getting cached?

Ok. I dug deeper into the issue and now my problem is that although theaction
is getting called correctly, it seems to execute from a cache. The actiondoes
not get executed the second time.
Any ideas?

Hmm... I'm not sure why you'd get that. Can you post the relevant JSP
code?
Also, are you able to hit the other page flow directly from a browser?

Hi Richard -
I get an error saying cannot find the begin.do action.
Thanks

Hello Neeraj,
This should work:
<netui:anchor
href="/someOtherFlow/SomeOtherFlowController.jpf">someOtherFlowController.
j
p
f</netui:anchor>
What happens when you do this?

I read the other posts on how to call one page flow from a jsp
that
belongs to
another pageflow. However the last suggestion posted - use the netuianchor tag
with href, also does not work.
Any other solution?
Thanks
