Field mapping problem using EntityManager.refresh(...) and @SecondaryTable

I am experiencing an exception indicating a missing mapping for a field. My problem is that I have a mapping! I suspect the problem has something to do with the fact the field in question is also the @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in the refresh() method code since the find() method works with no problem? Thanks in advance.
Code and log excerpts follow:
Calling Code...
TaxableDescription description = em.find( TaxableDescription.class, cusip );

What database are you using? My guess is that the database you are using returns field names in Uppercase. While the database may not be case sensitive, most databases will convert the field names to either all upper or lower case when returning the metadata - which associates the fields to the values. In this case, it is looking for a value for "issue_id" in the returned results, when I suspect that the database returned a value for "ISSUE_ID". Try having your column names match what the database will return and see if you still get problems.
The other part to this problem is that it does not appear mapped correctly. The primarykeyJoincolumn isn't using primary key fields (CUSIP_nbr is specified as the id), and you have a join table also using the "issue_id" field, so it really should be the id. Either way, the Secondary table is specifying f_ISSUE.issue_id to be a foreign key to f_COUPON_INFO.issue_id, and so the getFkIssueID annotation should be marked insertable=true, updateable =true and the annotation on getIssueID marked insertable=false, updatable=false,since it is set through the f_COUPON_INFO.issue_id field. Fixing this will also likely resolve the issue - the error says it can't find a mapping for the f_COUPON_INFO.issue_id but from looking at the code, what I believe it means is that it can't find a writable mapping. Reading this over again, it looks very confusing but I dont know if I can explain it much better. The field f_COUPON_INFO needs to be writeable and set by the application because you have marked it as controlling the field in f_ISSUE. The field in f_ISSUE needs to be read only, because the value is set/controlled by the value in f_COUPON_INFO.
Best Regards,
Chris

Problem using Cipher*Stream and Properties

I ran into a tricky problem using CipherInputStream, CipherOutputStream and Properties. I don't seem to find where I'm doing something wrong here.
I have something like this:
encCipher; // and already initiated ENCRYPTION Cipher
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream( "textfile.properties" );
// textfile is an unencrypted text-file containing:
// prop1=valueprop1
// prop2=valueprop2
// prop3=valueprop3
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load( fis );
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream( "enctextfile.properties" );
CipherOutputStream cos = new CipherOutputStream( fos, encCipher );
props.store( cos );Up until here, no problems right? I get the contents from the source text-file, and then write with to the CipherOutputStream, which gives me an encrypted version of the original file.
Then: (assume decCipher is an already initiated DECRYPTION Cipher)
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream( "enctextfile.properties" );
CipherInputStream cis = new CipherInputStream( fis, decCipher);
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load( cis );
props.list( System.out ); // this line should produce the exact same contents as the original source file right?But the output has one property less, as if in some part of this process, data has been lost. But where? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any hints,
Chris

Yes. Just now I realize I must close it for all the

Mapping problem with Wireless Keyboard and Japanese iPhone

Hi everyone:
This seems to be a slightly obscure question -- at least, I can't find a ready answer for it with the search terms I've tried, possibly because most people don't use this particular accessory with the iPhone.
I have an iPhone 4 that I bought from and use on Softbank, the carrier in Japan, where I live. While visiting the United States recently, I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard from an Apple retailer. I wanted to carry it with me for use with my iPhone, so I would reliably have a convenient way to access the Internet without being confined to the touchscreen keyboard. (I live in a rural area where WiFi spots are uncommon, but my iPhone's access to Softbank's data network is fairly good and consistent.)
However, to my frustration, I can't use the keyboard due to a mapping problem. The Bluetooth connection is fine -- the iPhone can discover the keyboard. However, the mapping is off: typing "Q" gets me "A," typing "Z" gets me "W", numbers and punctuation are off, etc. The key point: This is NOT a problem with the International Keyboard settings (under the Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> International Keyboards menu). I have the Keyboard setting set to QWERTY, which is the layout of the Apple keyboard; I have tried all the other possibilities, just in case. None of them work. Setting the Keyboard setting to QWERTY does not make the external QWERTY keyboard map correctly.
The rather ironic addendum is this: While on a recent trip to Tokyo, I visited the Apple store in Shibuya and, after concluding the main business of my visit (discussing my MacBook's battery problems with an English-speaking staffer), I took out my iPhone and keyboard and asked him about my mapping problem. He started with the Keyboard menu, tried the same things I had tried, realized they weren't working, and puzzled over the problem for a while. Then he did this: He hit a key combination (I believe) that brought up a menu on the iPhone's screen. "Ah, there's your problem," he said, and selected a new setting. The problem was instantly fixed.
To my chagrin, however, I neglected to write down what "Ken" had done to fix the problem. Argh... I was looking at the iPhone upside-down; I'd already taken up more than half an hour; people were waiting, and I guess, being used to living in the countryside now, that I'm not used to Shibuya crowds any more. Anyway, I didn't take careful notes or ask him to walk me through it, and now I cannot recall or repeat what he did. And I still can't use my keyboard!
Any ideas or advice, anyone? How did "Ken" fix my problem, and how can I repeat it? Much, much appreciated, in advance.

THAT'S IT. Sir, you have solved my problem. Thank you!!
And I feel a little silly; this will doubtless seem to an expert as if it should have been obvious all along. But isn't that always the way in hindsight?
Here's what happened: The key combination I was trying to remember was "Apple/command + space on the hardware keyboard," as you just said above. The "menu" it brings up is, apparently, a list of keyboards. I take it that this list is the same as the list of the "virtual" keyboards on the iPhone? I have never had more than one external keyboard -- the Apple Wireless -- but I do have several keyboards active virtually, as the iPhone in Japan seems to come with both the "Nihongo Ten-key" and the "Nihongo Romaji" keyboards active, and I added several other languages as well.
When I hit "Apple/command + space," this list comes up on the iPhone's touchscreen. Highlighted and checked at the top is "English," just as if it had been selected all along. But nonetheless, when I first turn on and pair my keyboard with the iPhone, I need to perform this key-combination action, as if to "reselect" English, and then the keyboard promptly starts working properly as QWERTY. I can only assume that one of the others had been default-selected before -- presumably one of the Nihongo ones? -- and that this was causing the interference.
Thank you again! You have made me and my wireless keyboard very happy.

Samplerate problem using Analog In and Counter In from a NI 6259 USB. "Counter timeout" setting in DAQmx?!

Hello,
I got a fundamental problem with the correlation of the timer settings of the DAQmx driver in DIAdem DAQ. I dont know where the problem is located exactly but maybe someone can help me if I explain what happens:
In my configuration I use some analog inputs from a USB 6259 with 20kHz samplerate and two counter inputs for frequency measuring via DAQmx in DIAdem DAQ.
There has to be an extra DAQin block for the analog inputs and the counter inputs with also an extra "Clock"-block for each of them. The clock of the analog inputs runs with 20kHz hardware clock and the other one with 10Hz software clock because the hardware clock mode is not allowed or supported.
My problem is the display refresh rate in VIEW. If the counter signal has no input (because the measured system is not active) the display seems to wait for any input and doesnt refresh the analog values on screen. If the system is active and a rectangle signal is seen by the counter in, the display refresh rate raises and the frequency value is displayed more or less accurate. Has that something to do with the counter timeout setting in the DAQin driver options block (marked in the attached image)? If i decrease the timeout, the display refresh rate gets better but not as good as without using the counter inputs in my DAQ diagram. I think the counter input is not as easy to handle as the usual analog inputs... I only want to see the measured frequency on the display during the measurement without getting any influence on the analog input channels and their displaying.
The other problem is the display and the measurement of the frequency itself. If i check the function of the counter input in the Meas. & Automation Explorer the frequency is display correct without any dropouts or something like that. The signal I measure in DIAdem on the other side looks quite bad because there are spikes of some MHz and even more although the measured range is between 20 and 80Hz!
Has anybody made similar experiences?
Regards
S. Zimmer

Hi there,
it seems that german is your mothertongue, so I'll reply on german.
Digitale Eingänge müssen Software getaktet werden, da nur analoge Eingänge Hardware-Takt Unterstützung haben!
Sie können den Hardware-Takt nur mit analogen Eingängen einsetzen, die, von einem Timer gesteuert, gepuffert Werte einlesen können. Digitale Größen verarbeitet der Hardware-Takt nicht.
Mit dem Hardware-Takt erreichen Sie sehr hohe Abtastraten. DIAdem überträgt die gewünschte Rate und die Kanalliste auf die Karte und startet die Messung. Die Hardware erfasst die Daten selbstständig und sammelt die Daten. Der PC ist nur für den Abtransport und die Weiterverarbeitung verantwortlich.[...]
Da digitale Signale nicht im Hardware-Takt erfasst werden können, müssen diese Signale parallel in Software-Takten ermittelt werden. Dies kann zu zeitlichen Verschiebungen führen, weil sowohl beim Start der Messung als auch während der Messung keine Synchronisierung der Timer im PC und im Messgerät erfolgen kann. Da zwei Timer nie ganz genau gleichzeitig gestartet werden und auch nie ganz genau gleich schnell laufen, stimmen die Zeiten in den Zeitkanälen nach der Messung nicht genau überein. Üblicherweise betragen die Abweichungen einige Millisekunden.[...]
Weiters hab ich mal n Versuchsaufbau für die Frequenzmessung gemacht. Ich konnte problemlos Frequenzen messen...
Am besten du schilderst kurz den Aufbau deiner Messung, was du messen möchtest und wie du den Max konfiguriert hast.
Mfg Markus

Problem using file sharing and screen sharing in Leopard

I have Mac OS 10.5 Leopard installed on 4 computers in a Home Network and have a problem with sharing files and using screen sharing. Here is my setup.
MacBook Pro with my logon ID
MacBook Pro with my fiancee's logon ID
Mac Mini with both of our logon ID's
Mac Pro with both of our logon ID's
The problem I have is I am able to access the Mac Mini computer where we have an external Hard Drive connected for data. She is also able to access it. The only problem is we have it set up to only share this external USB drive. Yet for both of us it shares the external drive along with the internal Macintosh HD. Fortunately this is not a very big deal but since I'm not sharing all those drives why is it doing this?
Also, I am able to connect from the Mac Mini for example to my MBP and vice versa for screen sharing along with file sharing. Yet if she tries to connect to the Mac Pro from her MBP and vice versa it won't. It simply times out and will never connect for screen sharing or file sharing but yet the Finder shows the Mac Pro. We have a 2nd hard drive in the Mac Pro which is the one set up for file sharing. I am also unable to connect to the Mac Pro's HD. Everything appears to be set up correctly. For my MBP on the Finder it shows the Mac Pro but once again I am unable to connect to it for screen sharing or file sharing.
Also, not sure if it's related but even for her MBP she is unable to connect to it from any other computer in our network although it's set up for file sharing and screen sharing so I'm not sure if it's related to her logon ID. Then again as mentioned above neither of us can connect to the Mac Pro.
I tried to make the above sound as simple as possible. I am relatively new to networking and of course Leopard but even on the Mac Pro all settings sound the same as on the Mac Mini where we can both connect to. The only big difference is on the Mini we are connect to a USB external drive, on the Mac Pro an internal drive. Is there something I could have overlooked or are there known issues with Leopard's sharing features?
We both have .mac but since we are using this on an internal network (some wi-fi, some wired, all through an Airport Base Station Extreme) I would think this has nothing to do with Back to my Mac.
I appreciate any help with the above.

Problem using Illustrator CS5 and CC 2014 in same PC

Hi,
I am developing some Illustrator scripts using VBScript, which should work on CS5, CS6 or CC 2014. When the scripts will be called, the user will pass, as command line argument, which Illustrator version they want to use. Accordingly I am instantiating the appropriate Illustrator scripting object by the following code:
If version = 1 Then
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.CS5")
ElseIf version = 2 Then
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.CS6")
ElseIf version = 3 Then
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.CC.2014")
Else
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")
End if
This is working correctly in one system where CS5 and CC 2014 are both installed. However, in another similar system, where CS5 and CC 2014 are both installed, this is failing. There, always the CC 2014 version is being used, even when the user wants to use CS5. On inspection it is found that the issue is with registry entry of LocalServer32 subkey of the Illustrator.Application.CS5 automation object. There I see, the path of CC 2014 executable is stored, not that of CS5. The value is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 (32 Bit)\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe /automation. Hence, the statement CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.CS5") is actually starting the CC 2014 Illustrator version.
Does anyone know how this could have happened? Is this some installation behavior of CS5 or CC 2014, that can be controlled? In this machine CC 2014 was installed after CS5. Does CC 2014 change the registry settings of CS5, if it was installed? That seems very unlikely, as then how can one use both CS5 and CC 2014 in a system through scripts? It is possible that this is a one-off case where the registry entries have been "accidentally" changed. However, I would like to be sure.
I can re-install CS5 in this system where the issue is noted and probably the problem will go away. However, the scripts may be used in many different installations and I cannot possibly ask users to reinstall Illustrator everywhere. Moreover, this problem can occur sometimes in the future too.
Any suggestion regarding the cause and a possible full-proof solution will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Joydeep Ray

are you referring to the audio meters panel? im on windows, and i can right click the meters panel and get options for "dynamic peaks". there are audio effects, from the effects panel if thats what you are looking for? i have one named "Dynamics" as well as several compressors.

Small problem with meta refresh and setting url

I'm using the following line of code in my jsp.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="<c:out value='${pageContext.session.maxInactiveInterval+60}'/>">This works fine in that 60 second after the session times out the refresh is called. This then goes into my action class and checks to see if my user object is still in session. It does not find it and forwards it to my login page with a message saying the session timed out.
this works just fine
Now instead of this happening I want to forward to an error page.
so I can add a url into the content section of the tab... but when I try to use a
<c:out value='${pageContext.request.contextPath}'/>this evaluates to nothing.. so that then the forward is to /sessionTimoutError.jsp instead of /appName/jsp/sessionTimeoutError.jsp.
So my question is more of a verification. Is it true then that when the session times out it has absolutely nothing to do with struts and java.. and that when the refresh actually gets called and forwards it back to the logoff page that I've in effect created a new session that will timeout in 60 minutes and call a refresh in 61minutes?
So the only way I can think of forwarding to the other page would be to change the forward in my action class... but changing this is not worth modifying all the action classes.. and I can't just change the definition of the forward since other places use that forward and I don't want to change them either...
any othe ways anyone could think of doing this without hardcoding any url's in?

Is it true then that when the session times out it has absolutely nothing to do with struts and java.Nothing to do with Struts, it's about JSP/servlet stuff specifically.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="61; url=/timeout.html">that's the proper format, so you can dynamically write whatever URL you want.
and that when the refresh actually gets called and forwards it back to the logoff pageOnly if the page that's reloaded checks for the valid login info and forwards. This is a common way to do it, of course.

Problem using Change production and SFC step status with Simultanious group

Hello,
We just upgraded to ME 5.2 SP5 patch which was released two days back, the problem with Simultanious group is fixed and SFC gets the correct next step as per defined in the router (Previously there was bug).
But when we try to use change production and put SFC in simultanious router at some particular operation as que it is getting in que at all operations and really can be started and completed even at the last operation.
Same is the case with step status if we put it in que at some intermediate operation all operation listed above are becoming in que irrespective of the flow defined in simultanious router.
Please let me know how to handle this.

Pushkar Patil

Hi Pushkar,
It seems to be a bug. I would suggest opening a ticket on this.

Problem using TAPI triggers and merge statement

Hi,
I use Designer tapi triggers on a table. When I try to execute a merge statement, I get the following error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value.
Is there a restriction when using TAPI triggers and merge statements that anyone is aware of?

No restrictions on MERGE commands that I know of. I have, however, seen the TAPI give inexplicable ORA-06502 errors. It would help to know what line in which procedure or trigger gave the error. That information should have been in the error stack.

Problems using window.close() and setting fields

Hi,
I have two problems:
First one is:
I created a simple JSP with 'Save' and 'Exit' Buttons. In the Exit button on click event I invoked a function closeWindow, which calls teh window.close(). But on clicking Exit, the window does not close. Can anyone please tell me why.
Second one is:
The JSP also needs to get loaded with some values in the Textfields. Theses values are extracted from a text field using a Java class. I am able to see that these values are extracted from the text file and are loaded into Java vars, but when I am trying to set this value into a text field, it is NOT getting set.
(filePathDetails is the instance of the class that extracts the text values)
The entire code is posted below:
<%@ page language="java" import="ftpScheduler.*" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>

Thanks in advance.

Try the following..
For problem 1:
Use window.close() instead of window.closeWindow().
For the second problem
don't call the function setPaths() at onload. Rather
call the function after the page is loaded. You can
try like this.
If it doesn't work then check whether the browser is
giving any JavaScript error message.
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
setPaths() ;
 function setPaths(){
 alert(document.pathDetails.element[0].value);
document.pathDetails.element[0].value =
= <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath1 %>;
 alert(document.pathDetails.element[0].value);
 with(document.pathDetails){
textAncPath1.value =
e = <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath1 %>;
textAncPath2.value =
e = <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath2 %>;
textArchivePath.value =
e = <%=filePathDetails.archiveDirPath %>;
textLogPath.value = <%=filePathDetails.logFilePath
ath %>;
 function closeWindow(){
 window.closeWindow();
</SCRIPT>Hi,
Actually I did try window.close(), but I still am not able to close the current window.
And as for the problem of setting up the field values, sorry the given solution doesnt seem to work. :-(..
I have pasted the entire code, I dont know where teh flaw is. Please review the same and let me know.
Your help is very much appreciated.

The error message is pretty much telling you the problem:
mappedBy reference an unknown target entity property: domain.Termin.person in domain.Person.termine
This tells you that there's a mappedBy setting on the Person class's termine property annotation, and that the property it's referring to (the person property of the Termin class) doesn't exist.
@ManyToMany(mappedBy="person")
public List<Termin> getTermine() {
 return termine;
}If we have a look at the Termin class, indeed it has the following properties:
id
teilnehmer
titel
eigentuemerAnd no person property. Remember, a property is defined by the existence of a get/set pair for the name. It's unrelated to the types returned by them and the private variables implementing them.
mappedBy has the equivalent effect to the inverse property in a hbm.xml mapping file - it defines which entity's property will cause the foreign key value to be updated (persisting the relationship to the database). From the context of your code, I'm guessing you really want the annotation to read:
@ManyToMany(mappedBy="teilnehmer")

Flat file mandatory field mapping problem

Hi Guys,
I am mapping xml to the positional flat file.
There is only one field in the output FF 'provider_state' which is not being mapped.
As a change I added new field after the provider_state.
My problem is that the provider_state with length 2 is not produced in the output as blank spaces to match the position flat file.
However, I have tried creating the record using xslt and also tried to add default 'spacespace' in the schema, tried mapping 'spacespace' in the outpt.
When I try to add space2 I get CRLF in the output at the filed position.
In short last field '%' should be at 733 position but it is at 731.
Thanks in advance...
//Dhiraj Bhavsar

Hi Dhiraj,
This is by design and
You may want to change provider_id to attribute if its element.
To resolve this please check this..

Appending ns1: in Every field[MAPPING PROBLEM]

Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem when generating the output XML file. The file is generating in XML format with an additional ns1 in each line.
Any idea on this guys.

<ns1:iABC xmlns:ns1="http://www.ABC.com/xmlschema/ABC/">
<ns1:header>
 <ns1:flow>ACT</ns1:flow>
 <ns1:sender name="XYZ">

<ns1:ID ="0000000000000000000000012">
Many Thanks,

Edited by: JGD on May 19, 2008 2:56 PM

Hi Stefan.
Well, the answer is "no"
According to XML spec both declarations
<iABC xmlns="http://www.ABC.com/xmlschema/ABC/">
and
<ns:iABC xmlns=ns:"http://www.ABC.com/xmlschema/ABC/">
are semantically identical.
Any standard xml parser will work with both declarations the same way. The mapping tool always use the first way.
Sometimes legacy systems use "xml like" format with some special restrictions.
In this case the only way to handle that is to use workarounds like with the anonymizer bean.
Another problem I'm aware of is the target file encoding. That's "not officially" solved with hidden menu which you can see if you hold CTRL+SHIFT keys and right click on data flow editor. The last menu item is "encoding" - you can set the encoding of the resulting xml there
Best regards

Mapping Drives using a PIX501 and vpn client

We have a 501 and are using cisco vpn client. We have a Windows 2000 and a windows 2003 server on the network we are connecting to. We use windows authentication when we logon the vpn. We are mapping drives on both servers onto the client. The mapped drives on the 2000 server are visable to the client. The mapped drives on the 2003 server are not even when we try to remap. We have Routing and Remote Access enabled on the 2003 server but still fail to map the drives (or ping the 2003 server). Can anyone out there shed any light on our problem. Thanks

Start with this link which gives a number of examples on how to configure a VPN client with the VPN 3000 -

Problems using LiveCycle Designer and Web Services

Hi there.
I've just finished reading all the 485 post in this forum, and I've already looked at all the samples and FAQ's, but I still I have the same problem, and it seems I'm not the only one. Here goes:
I have a .NET Web Service that exposes three methods: one that indicates which PDF to open, one to pre-populate some of the fields of the form and another one to handle the submitted form.
The first method is called within my asp.net web application and simply determines which pdf form to open in a given context. This one is cool and I have no problems here.
The second method populates my pdf form. But here starts the trouble. I can't seem to make the pdf call the web service when it is loaded. I mean, what I want is to tell the pdf form that when he loads (and before he shows on the browser), he should call the web service method that pre-populates him. But I can't seem to be able to do this. I've seen JimmiPham's CheckCreditCard.pdf sample, but what he does is call the web service upon a click on the button. What I wanted is similar but on the load of the form. I've added the following line of javascript code to the initialize method of a textbox:
msg.rawValue = xfa.connectionSet.conn.execute(0);
where msg is the textbox and conn is the name of my connection. I've used this code based on the sample of the designer help. I've also tried to drag and drop the button from the dataview (the one that is automatically generated) but it wont work. If I press it it gives me an error stating that there was an error attempting to read the web service file (*.asmx).
I've also tried to drag and drop the textbox in the generated web service response (in the dataview) but nothing works.
Does anyone have any ideas of what am I doing wrong? This is my first contact with this technology, and I really don't know very well how to manipulate it...
Regards.

Hi Jimmy. Thanks for the help. I'm getting really desperate now. Your sample doesn't work. However I have some more info that might bring some light into the fight... I've seen your sample (awesome work), tried it and saved it. Then I opened it with designer 7.0 and checked the code in the click event of the button. Then I copied/pasted your code into my form. I dragged a text box and a button into my form and left them with the default names (TextBox1 and Button1). In the click event of Button1 I've pasted your code and then changed the parts I wanted, as follows: ----- form1.#subform[0].Button1::click - (JavaScript, client) -------------------------------------- var cWSURL = "http://localhost/SIIOP.PDFManager/PDFManager.asmx?WSDL"; app.alert("Setup webservicex PopulatePDF Interface using WSDL URL: \"" + cWSURL + "\"\n"); SOAP.wiredump = true; var service = SOAP.connect(cWSURL); if(typeof service != "object") app.alert("Couldn't get PopulatePDF WSDL object"); if(service.PopulatePDF == "undefined") app.alert("Couldn't get webservicex.PopulatePDF Call"); var e; // I need no parameters //var param = //{ // "CardNumber": xfa.resolveNode("CardNumber").rawValue //}; try { app.alert("Make PopulatePDF SOAP call"); // var result = service.CheckCC(param); var result = service.PopulatePDF(); if((result == "") || (result == null)) { app.alert("WebService PopulatePDF returns nothing"); result = "<no results returned>"; } function dump(obj) { if(typeof obj == "object") { for(var i in obj) { app.alert("note1: " + i + " = " + obj[i]); if (i == "string") { xfa.form.Page1.TextField1.rawValue = obj[i]; } } } else app.alert("note2: " + i + " = " + obj[i]); } dump(result); SOAP.wiredump = false; //xfa.datasets.data.loadXML(result); //xfa.resolveNode("CardType").rawValue = result["urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-diffgram-v1diffgram"]["NewDataSet"]["Table"].CardTy pe; //xfa.resolveNode("CardValid").rawValue = result["urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-diffgram-v1diffgram"]["NewDataSet"]["Table"].CardVa lid; } catch(e) { app.alert("Problem with webservicex.PopulatePDF Call: " + e); } I saved the form and opened it with internet explorer. When I press the button, I get the first alert stating that "Setup webservicex PopulatePDF Interface using WSDL URL: http://localhost/SIIOP.PDFManager/PDFManager.asmx?WSDL". That's correct. Then I get an alert that says "Couldn't get PopulatePDF WSDL object", which means that he can't get the object. The result is undefined. But that's odd, since I can establish a data connection to this WSDL using the New Data Connection wizard, and in this wizard it even says which methods and actions the web service has... So, the problem must be in the way the web service exposes himself to the PDF, right? Well anyway, here follows the wsdl I have: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <wsdl:definitions xmlns:http="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/http/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:tm="http://microsoft.com/wsdl/mime/textMatching/" xmlns:mime="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/mime/" targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"> - <wsdl:types> - <s:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/"> - <s:element name="PopulatePDF"> <s:complexType /> </s:element> - <s:element name="PopulatePDFResponse"> - <s:complexType> - <s:sequence> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="PopulatePDFResult" type="s:string" /> </s:sequence> </s:complexType> </s:element> - <s:element name="CallPDF"> <s:complexType /> </s:element> - <s:element name="CallPDFResponse"> - <s:complexType> - <s:sequence> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="CallPDFResult" type="s:string" /> </s:sequence> </s:complexType> </s:element> - <s:element name="HandleSubmittedPDF"> <s:complexType /> </s:element> - <s:element name="HandleSubmittedPDFResponse"> - <s:complexType> - <s:sequence> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="HandleSubmittedPDFResult" type="s:string" /> </s:sequence> </s:complexType> </s:element> </s:schema> </wsdl:types> - <wsdl:message name="PopulatePDFSoapIn"> <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:PopulatePDF" /> </wsdl:message> - <wsdl:message name="PopulatePDFSoapOut"> <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:PopulatePDFResponse" /> </wsdl:message> - <wsdl:message name="CallPDFSoapIn"> <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:CallPDF" /> </wsdl:message> - <wsdl:message name="CallPDFSoapOut"> <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:CallPDFResponse" /> </wsdl:message> - <wsdl:message name="HandleSubmittedPDFSoapIn"> <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:HandleSubmittedPDF" /> </wsdl:message> - <wsdl:message name="HandleSubmittedPDFSoapOut"> <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:HandleSubmittedPDFResponse" /> </wsdl:message> - <wsdl:portType name="PDFManagerSoap"> - <wsdl:operation name="PopulatePDF"> <wsdl:input message="tns:PopulatePDFSoapIn" /> <wsdl:output message="tns:PopulatePDFSoapOut" /> </wsdl:operation> - <wsdl:operation name="CallPDF"> <wsdl:input message="tns:CallPDFSoapIn" /> <wsdl:output message="tns:CallPDFSoapOut" /> </wsdl:operation> - <wsdl:operation name="HandleSubmittedPDF"> <wsdl:input message="tns:HandleSubmittedPDFSoapIn" /> <wsdl:output message="tns:HandleSubmittedPDFSoapOut" /> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:portType> - <wsdl:binding name="PDFManagerSoap" type="tns:PDFManagerSoap"> <soap:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" style="document" /> - <wsdl:operation name="PopulatePDF"> <soap:operation soapAction="http://tempuri.org/PopulatePDF" style="document" /> - <wsdl:input> <soap:body use="literal" /> </wsdl:input> - <wsdl:output> <soap:body use="literal" /> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> - <wsdl:operation name="CallPDF"> <soap:operation soapAction="http://tempuri.org/CallPDF" style="document" /> - <wsdl:input> <soap:body use="literal" /> </wsdl:input> - <wsdl:output> <soap:body use="literal" /> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> - <wsdl:operation name="HandleSubmittedPDF"> <soap:operation soapAction="http://tempuri.org/HandleSubmittedPDF" style="document" /> - <wsdl:input> <soap:body use="literal" /> </wsdl:input> - <wsdl:output> <soap:body use="literal" /> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:binding> - <wsdl:service name="PDFManager"> <documentation xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" /> - <wsdl:port name="PDFManagerSoap" binding="tns:PDFManagerSoap"> <soap:address location="http://localhost/SIIOP.PDFManager/PDFManager.asmx" /> </wsdl:port> </wsdl:service> </wsdl:definitions> If I invoke this webservice method through Internet Explorer, I get the following response: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">Hello World</string>
