apex webservice model as parameter from Flex

Hello,

 

Whole day I've tried to Connect from a Flex app to a salesforce webservice. I started with a simple HelloWorld with parameters of default types (String, Integer, ...)

 

Now I want to send a model (MyContact) to the apex webservice and then return MyContact.firstName and MyContact.lastName.

 

Here my apex webservice:

 

global class HelloWorldWebservice{
   

    //MyContact model
    global class MyContact
    {
        webservice String lastName;
        webservice String firstName;
    }
   

    WebService static String SayHelloName(String name){
        return 'Hello '+name+ '!';
    }
   
    WebService static String SayHelloContact(MyContact mycontact){
        return 'Hello '+contact.firstName+ ' ' +contact.lastName+'!';
    }
}

 

To call the SayHelloName method in Flex I used the following:

 

var object:Parameter = new Parameter("name", helloInput.text); var params:Array = [object];

 

force.execute("HelloWorldWebservice","SayHelloName",params,new AsyncResponder(SayHelloNameSuccess, faultResponder));

 

Above works perfect, but my next challenge is to send a model MyContact to the webservice, this is what I have at the moment:

 

var firstName:Parameter = new Parameter("firstName","Kevin"); var lastName:Parameter = new Parameter("lastName","Neuteleers");

 

var myContactFields:Array = [firstName, lastName];

 

var myContact:Parameter = new Parameter("mycontact", myContactFields);

var params:Array = [myContact];

 

force.execute("HelloWorldWebservice","SayHelloContact",params,new AsyncResponder(SayHelloNameSuccess, faultResponder));

 

Hopefully there's someone who knows an answer and wants to help me.

Did you ever get anywhere with this?  I believe I am trying to do something similar with no luck.

Still no solution found :-(

Unfortunately from what I've found, objects don't pass too nicely between Flex and Apex classes.  I had to work around it by passing only String values.

 

I bet something can probably be done with XML to normalize the objects, but in my case the objects were not complicated enough to need something like that.
