Error handling in generated stubs

Avatar

Level 1
Hello,



I've been playing around with Flex Builder 3 and WS and I am
puzzled by how one can handle generic SOAP error messages (i.e. not
the service faults, but connection errors, message parsing related
errors, etc.).



Here is what I try:



1 Generate service stubs out of an existing WSDL using Flex
Builder

2 Create a dead simple Flex app that makes a WS call via
stubs

3 Trying to call an unreliable WS, and I get Flash popup
with the stack trace:


quote:





TypeError: Error #1090: XML parser failure: element is
malformed.

It looks like neither registering fault handler nor adding
event listener to the AsyncToken catches this error.



Does anyone know if I should I be modifying the generated
stubs to catch this kind of errors or there is a more elegant
approach to fix this? Thanks.
