Handle fault event in mx.data.DataService while background sync?

Question

We are using objects that at times need to sync up with the server via the mx.data.DataService, The problem is in case of explicit method invocation over the dataservice object we are able to trap the fault events using the fault handlers.

The problem arises when dataservice is sync'ing the object in background. In case of a fault event (such as session timeout or server down) the error is not trapped via the fault handler added on the dataservice using the addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT).

Any suggestions on how to trap the fault events generated via background sync invocations of the DataService?

Answer 1

Try DataServiceFaultEvent.FAULT instead of FaultEvent.FAULT
