Problem accessing web service, error 2032 Stream Error

Question

I'm building a small flex app hat uses two web services
provided by the same coldfusion CFC.
I've verified that I can successfully access the web services
via HTTP, and one of the web services actually does work when
called. Both return structures that contain a string var, a numeric
var, and one or more query vars.
Here is my web service declaration:
quote:
<mx:WebService id="ws"
wsdl="https://www.it.dev.duke.edu/components/dukemagsearch/checkMailing2.cfc?wsdl"
useProxy="false">
<mx:operation name="queryDB" result="queryDBResult()"
fault="queryDBFault(event)">
<mx:request>
<RUNDATE>{cboRunDate.selectedItem.XDATE}</RUNDATE>
<ENTITYID>{txtEntityID.text}</ENTITYID>
<LASTNAME>{txtLastName.text}</LASTNAME>
<FIRSTNAME>{txtFirstName.text}</FIRSTNAME>
<MINITIAL>{txtMiddleInitial.text}</MINITIAL>
<PRFSCHCD>{cboPreferredSchool.selectedItem.TABLKEY}</PRFSCHCD>
<PRRECTYP>{cboRecordType.selectedItem.TABLKEY}</PRRECTYP>
<PRFCLASS>{txtPreferredClass.text}</PRFCLASS>
</mx:request>
</mx:operation>
<mx:operation name="getListData"
result="getListDataResult()" fault="getListDataFault()"/>
</mx:WebService>
Sorry if the formatting sucks, I don't know how to post
"code" here.
Anyway, the getListData() method works fine and populates my
list boxes. But when I call the queryDB() method, I get the
following fault event:
quote:
[FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="HTTP request error"
faultCode="Server.Error.Request" faultDetail="Error: [IOErrorEvent
type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2
text="Error #2032: Stream Error. URL:
https://www.it.dev.duke.edu/components/dukemagsearch/checkMailing2.cfc"].
URL:
https://www.it.dev.duke.edu/components/dukemagsearch/checkMailing2.cfc"]
messageId="1E553B99-DF28-ED72-62B8-B84AA3919F9A" type="fault"
bubbles=false cancelable=true eventPhase=2]
I've looked all over the place and I can't seem to find what
this error means. I've tried all kinds of different ways of doing
things. Right now I'm browsing the flex app via a file URL (C:\...)
but I tried putting it up on the server too and that didn't work
either.
The method call *DOES* work when called via HTTP... ie
https://www.it.dev.duke.edu/components/dukemagsearch/checkMailing2.cfc?method=queryDB&RUND ATE=2006-05-19&FIRSTNAME=&LASTNAME=SMITH&MINITIAL=&PRFSCHCD=&PRRECTYP=AL&PRFCLASS=&ENTITYI D=
(You have to be logged in for that to work so you'll just
have to trust me, it returns no records if you're not logged into
the web site already).
I'm totally stressing out about this because I've essentially
spent the entire day since 8am trying to solve this. The
application should've taken 15 minutes total.
HELP!
Thanks for any suggestions y'all have.

Answer 1

It means your output was not formed correctly and could not
be parsed. set up a server side script or something to check that
the output is indeed what you think it should be, 99% of the time i
get thie error its due to malformed output from my webservice or
db. Also try making an xml model of your target data to test the
application internaly, look up model in the docs, it easy to use
and if the model works then you know the data is faulty and you
need to check your output and queries.
