  Why do you have "OnTimeout" and "OnError" (see code below)? I thought this was changed to just an 'OnError'?

  Samples.MSNSearch.Search({ 'Request' : searchRequest }, OnCompleteMSN, OnTimeout, OnError)

  I remember that MSNBridge sample was released moths ago(on March this year, I guess) before Beta being released. See thead ... maybe that's why. Unfortunatelly I couldn't find it again to play with it.

  At least we can get an idea about what bridging can do... and what cannot...

  Does anyone know about any form of documentation regarding bridging/asbx? I'm still lost...

  I was told that bridge support was a late addition to Beta 2, and was added only due to popular demand.  Therefore, no new documentation exists, but I'd assume it will be added for the next, or at least the final, release. 

   I found it interesting that they were intending not to include bridge support, as I thought mashups would be really popular.  I was told they didn't see a lot of interest in it in the CTP, and only realized its popularity after they removed it...

  Indeed. And I have so many apps to update to use this feature... especially because of less complexity, user experience and speed.

   

  Any idea on what I'm doing wrong when adding multiple methods in .asbx? Please see my post above.

  I'm not sure.  We aren't using the RestProxy... we use the namespace of our webservice as our proxy, and don't use the "serviceUrl" attribute...

  I really need some help getting the bridges to work again (after the move to the Beta 2 code).  I keep getting the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. My code is below. The web service uses SOAP. We are using WSE 3.  I started this based on the "Mashup" tutorial from before the new beta. Ideas?? Thanks in advance!

   I added this to web.config (within <compilation debug="true">)

  <buildProviders>

  <add extension=".asbx" type="Microsoft.Web.Preview.Services.BridgeBuildProvider"/>

  </buildProviders>

   I added this to web.config (within <httpHandlers>):

  <add verb="*" path="*.asbx" type="Microsoft.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory" validate="false"/>

  Code in default.aspx:

  MyNameSpace.SDMSSoapBridge.GetSDMSContent({ 'guid' : guid }, null, SDMSContentFailure);

  My bridge file:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

  <bridge namespace="MyNameSpace" className="SDMSSoapBridge" >

  <proxy type="SDMSWrapper, App_Code" />

  <method name="SearchSDMS">

  <input> <parameter name="query" /> </input>

  </method> <method name="GetSDMSContent">

  <input> <parameter name="guid" /> </input>

  </method> </bridge>

  My "wrapper" file:

  using System; using System.IO; using System.Diagnostics;

  //since upgrade to new beta, I added from here...

  using Microsoft.Web.Preview.Services; using Microsoft.Web.Script.Services;

  using Microsoft.Web.Script.Serialization; using System.Reflection;using System.Net;

  using System.Collections;

  //...to here

  using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data;

  using System.Drawing; using System.Text; using System.Configuration;

  using System.Web; using System.Web.Security; using System.Web.UI;

  using System.Web.UI.WebControls; using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

  using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

  using SDMS; using System.Web.Services.Protocols;

  using Microsoft.Web.Services3; using Microsoft.Web.Services3.Design;

  using Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security; using Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security.Tokens;

  //Simple wrapper around the SDMS SOAP Proxy to make the results easier to consume.

  public class SDMSWrapper {

  //Variables setup for Ontology Service

  private static string consumerUserId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UserID"];

  private static string userId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SDMS.UserID"];

  private static string pwd = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SDMS.UserPassword"];

  private static string ba = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SDMS.BusinessArea"];

  public ReportAttributes[] SearchSDMS(string query) {

  //Call SDMS Search Service

  SDMSWebServices service = new SDMSWebServices();

  ReportAttributeRequest request = new ReportAttributeRequest();

  SearchCriteria criteria = new SearchCriteria();

  criteria.AttributeName = AttributeName.SampleName;

  criteria.Value = query;

  request.AuthorizationUserId = userId;

  request.AuthorizationPassword = pwd;

  request.BusinessArea = ba;

  request.Criteria = new SearchCriteria[] { criteria };

  ReportAttributes[] attributes = service.GetReportAttributes(request);

  if (attributes != null && attributes.Length > 0)

  { return attributes; }

  else { return new ReportAttributes[] { }; }

  }

  public ReportContent GetSDMSContent(string guid) {

  //Calls ReportContentRequest on SDMS Service from selection in datagridview.

  //Brings back selected report and opens.

  SDMSWebServices service = new SDMSWebServices();

  ReportContentRequest req = new ReportContentRequest();

  string idcall = Convert.ToString(guid);

  req.AuthorizationUserId = userId;

  req.AuthorizationPassword = pwd;

  req.BusinessArea = ba;

  req.GUID = idcall;

  req.ConsumerSystemId = consumerUserId;

  req.Format = ReportFormat.ngx;

  ReportContent content = service.GetReportContent(req);

  string outputFilename = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() + System.IO.Path.GetRandomFileName() + ".ngx";

  File.WriteAllBytes(outputFilename, content.Content);

  Process app = new Process();

  app.StartInfo.FileName = outputFilename;

  app.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;

  app.Start();

  if (content != null)

  {return content;}

  else { return new ReportContent(); }

  }

  }

  Have you tried the bug fix posted earlier in this thread, having to do with the Type.GetType call?  That was what fixed our null reference errors.

  I'm trying to get the Amazon/Flickr example to work under beta 2, no luck so far.  Here's the original:

  http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/9/c/f9c970a0-0401-4863-9f03-981e513a2f1c/HDI-AtlasMashUp-Demo.zip

  The page builds, but when I test and enter a search term, I get a Javascript error "Samples is undefined".  The "Samples" namespace isn't found, so it fails when OnSearch() trys to access it:

  function OnSearch()
  {
  var parameters = { 'Keywords' : txtSearchText.value };
  
  
  if (nextAmazonPage > 1)
  parameters.Page = nextAmazonPage;
  Samples.AmazonPox.Search(parameters, { onMethodComplete:OnCompleteAmazonSearch, 
  
  onMethodTimeout:OnTimeout, onMethodError:OnError, userContext: "Amazon Search via Get"} );
  
  
  if (nextFlickrPage > 1)
  parameters.Page = nextFlickrPage;
  Samples.Flickr.Search(parameters, { onMethodComplete:OnCompleteFlickrSearch, 
  
  onMethodTimeout:OnTimeout, onMethodError:OnError, userContext: "Flickr Search via Get" }  );

  I'm using the Type.GetType call in a code behind for both the AmazonPox.asbx file and the Flickr.asbx file:

  protected new object ConvertToType(object argValue, Type paramType)
  {
  string text1 = "Microsoft.Web.Script.Serialization.ObjectConverter, Microsoft.Web.Extensions, 
  Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35";
  return Type.GetType(text1).GetMethod("ConvertObjectToType", 
  BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static).Invoke(null, new object[] { argValue, paramType, new JavaScriptSerializer() });
  }

   Any ideas?  A copy of my code is at:  http://ourwebhome.com/AtlasMashup.zip

  So, one thing for you to try to debug what's going on, usually when you get a Samples undefinied error, something went wrong with your proxy request.  So try fiddler and see if the request to your asbx/js is returning a javascript proxy for your bridge.  I'm guessing something is wrong with that step...

  Hope that helps,

  I'm sorry, I should probably know this, but I'm not sure how to do that, and I don't know what Fiddler is or where to get it.  I did use the "debugger" statement in the javascript to set a breakpoint and inspect, but I couldn't find anything suspicious.  Could you tell me about using Fiddler?
