Hi all,

I am trying to create a s-control or Visualforce page that has a Flex app embedded in it.  I have no problem embedding the Flex app, the problem comes when I need to query an outside RESTful web service.  I understand this is done in javascript by going through the RESTful proxy, which Salesforce facilitates with a method named sforce.connection.remoteFunction().

I noticed that in the force-flex toolkit there is an (undocumented!) object called Connection2 which also has this method.  However, every time I try calling this method (and thus the proxy) the proxy returns an HTTP 406 error.

Has anyone successfully done a RESTful call through the proxy using Flex?  How could I go about doing that?

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:

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

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

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