Initialize webservice WSDL at runtime using Flex and Mate framework
- by GroovyB
I am developing a Flex application on top of Mate framework.
In this application, I am using a webservice to retrieve data.
As this webservice as not a fix location URL (depending on where customers installed it), I define this URL in a config file.
When the Flex application starts, it first reads this config file, then I would like to use the value I found to initialize the webservice.
But currently, I have no idea how to this.
Here is my EventMap.mxml
<EventMap>
<services:Services id="services" />
<EventHandlers type="{FlexEvent.PREINITIALIZE}">
<HTTPServiceInvoker instance="{services.configService}">
<resultHandlers>
<MethodInvoker generator="{ConfigManager}" method="loadFromXml" arguments="{resultObject}" />
</resultHandlers>
<faultHandlers>
<InlineInvoker method="Alert.show" arguments="ERROR: Unable to load config.xml !" />
</faultHandlers>
</HTTPServiceInvoker>
In this part, the ConfigManager parse the config file and intitialize a bindable property called webServiceWsdl
Here is my Services.mxml
<mx:Object>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable] public var webservice:String;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id="configService" url="config.xml" useProxy="false" />
<mx:WebService id="dataService" wsdl="{webservice}" useProxy="false"/>
</mx:Object>
How can I initialize this webservice property ?
