SOAPCall class

ActionScript Class Name mx.services.SOAPCall

The SOAPCall class is part of the mx.services package and is an advanced class to be used with the WebService class (see WebService class). For an overview of the classes in the mx.data.services package, see Web service classes.

The SOAPCall object is not constructed by you. Instead, when you call a method on a WebService object, the WebService object returns a PendingCall object. To access the associated SOAPCall object, use myPendingCall.myCall.

When you create a new WebService object, it contains the methods that correspond to operations in the WSDL URL you pass in. Behind the scenes, a SOAPCall object is created for each operation in the WSDL as well. The SOAPCall object is the descriptor of the operation, and as such contains all the information about that operation (how the XML should look on the network, the operation style, and so on). It also provides control over certain behaviors. You can get the SOAPCall object for a given operation by using the WebService.getCall() function. There is a single SOAPCall for each operation, shared by all active calls to that operation. Once you have the SOAPCall object, you can customize the descriptor by doing the following:

• Turning on/off decoding of the XML response
• Turning on/off the delay of converting SOAP arrays into ActionScript objects
• Changing the concurrency configuration for a given operation
