callServer twice

TS 6.5
Solaris 9

is it possible to use the callServer function twice the during the onFormInit state of a form. I have two different functions call a cgi using IWDatacapture.callServer one after the other. Only one of them ends up returning. That is the last one called returns from the CGI script. The other one does not return at all. I think the return of the callServer functions are interfering with one another. Has anyone experienced this? Any thoughts?

------------------------------------------
in the code below it is GetDefault that returns from the callServer script. The GetContent function fails to complete it's use of callServer.

-----------------------------------------------

// Tell the renderer to all enablePreviewImages
IWDatacapture.enableImagePreview(true);
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);

function init()
{
var dummy = IWDatacapture.getItem("/site_nav/dummy");
dummy.setFocus();
GetContent(); <--- uses callServer

//Collapse containers
setTimeout("collapseXMLContainer('/site_nav')",1);
var dcrFields = new Array();
dcrFields[0] = "/site_nav/brand/leftImage";
dcrFields[1] = "/site_nav/brand/leftImageAlt";

GetDefault(dcrFields); <--- uses callServer

}

[thread=22325]JS code continues executing immediately after the call to callServer[/thread]

You can do this, if they are running different services. However if they both run the same callserver, then you could have some issues. Is it running correctly ? f it works, don't fix it.

You can call the second function in the callserver cgi script of the first function.
