OScript Socket Not recieving Response

Mike_Ingersoll

We have written OScript below which sends the Disposition Statuschangeto a custom web service. Our web service recieves the call buttheOscript method never recieves a response and hangs (Processing windowondisposition screen remains). Is there something else we need toaddto our code? Any help on this would be appreciated. We've removedourserver addresses but the rest of the code is what we've beenrunning.Thanks Mike function Assoc CBDispStatusChangePre( \ObjectprgCtx, \ DAPINODEnode, \ AssocactionInfo )Assoc rtnValStringerrMsg DynamicapiErrorBoolean ok = true StringurlString contentType String contentLength String dataStringhost Socket sock String result sock=Socket.Create() sock.pBlocking = trueSocket.Connect(sock,"WebServer", 8090) url =Str.Format("GET/WebService/rest/doAction/%1/%2 HTTP/1.1",node.pID,actionInfo.newStatus) host = "Host:WebServer:8090"contentType = "Content-Type:text/xml;charset=utf-8" data= "" contentLength= Str.Format("Content-Length:%1", Length(data))Socket.write(sock, url + Web.CRLF);Socket.write(sock, host + Web.CRLF);Socket.write(sock, contentType+ Web.CRLF); Socket.write(sock,contentLength + Web.CRLF);Socket.write(sock, Web.CRLF);Socket.write(sock, data + Web.CRLF);Socket.Flush(sock) //result = Socket.Read(sock) <---issue is here! //Echo(result) Socket.Close(sock)if IsUndefined( rtnVal.OK )rtnVal.OK= ok rtnVal.ErrMsg =errMsgrtnVal.ApiError = apiError endreturn rtnVal end

I could not read the post correctly and not sure if you are running into something that I have encountered

A while ago when the Oscript to Java bridge was not available one could use the socket builtin,however Oscript pundits shun the use of it.You can get better by making your call a Mutex but again if the other side of the socket does not respond you will have to re-start livelink.
 

If I were you I would call a java class from oscript and do a relay.

It has  something to do with thread safety or something of that kind
