logging soap requests in flex 3

Question

I'm trying to consume a SOAP webservice from an Adobe Flex 3 application, but the server tell me "Invalid SOAP Envelope. SOAP Body does not contain a message nor a fault". I already wrote other test clients (with both Delphi and C#) and I'm sure it's all ok on the server side, so I need to examine the SOAP envelope Flex is sending out to the server. How to do that? I think it should be some event to listen (in the BaseSys class?) to get the envelope before it will be sent.

Answer 1

The easiest way is to run a proxy. Paros is an easy one, written in Java, and therefore multi-platform by nature : http://www.parosproxy.org/index.shtml

Also, if you do not use it already, you should install firebug : https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/1843

The network monitoring tab should fit your needs.

I have two suggestions for you:

1. If you are using Flex Builder you can try to generate a client for your web service using the Import Web Service feature from the Data menu and ether use it directly or just investigate the generated code for clues.

2. Check out the documentation for web services from Flex SDK as it may be a problem with the supported SOAP versions. Check to see that both Flex SDK and your server are using compatible versions.

thanks for your replies but the problem was the status code 500 (flex can handle code 200 only)
