I have created a simple testserver. Calling the Sum() method is working OK, however when I cal a method that returns a struct, the call fails:

        var Channel = new RemObjects.SDK.HTTPClientChannel("http://localhost:5274/handler.ashx/binmessage");
        var Message = new RemObjects.SDK.BinMessage();
        Message.UseCompression = false;
        var Service = new SampleService(Channel, Message);

        Service.GetUser(
            function (result) {
                alert(result);
            },
            function (msg) {
                alert('Error');
                alert(msg.getErrorMessage())
            });
        alert('Call completed');

This code first shows ‘Call completed’, then ‘Error’ and then an empty message (msg.getErrorMessage() is empty). I tried both BinMessage and JsonMessage.

Server sample (C#. ASP.NET): https://lynxdiagnostics.blob.core.windows.net/backup/Server.zip
Client sample: https://lynxdiagnostics.blob.core.windows.net/backup/Client.zip

Fiddler shows (see Image) that the server correctly sends a response to the client.
Cross origin headers are handled inside Web.config.

What could be the problem? Thanks for any support you can give…

Hello

Thanks for the testcase. Actually it works perfectly after one minor bug is fixed in the code.

Your client app’s Scripts contain files WebApplication1\Scripts\SampleLibrary_intf.js and WebApplication1\Scripts\ADatoServiceLibrary_intf.js

Both these files define a structure named User

__namespace.User.prototype = new RemObjects.SDK.ROStructType();
__namespace.User.prototype.constructor = __namespace.User;
RemObjects.SDK.RTTI["User"] = __namespace.User;

When a server sends back a structure named User the client tries to read it from the stream. However server sends similar structure defined in the SampleLibrary_intf.js file while clients tries to deserialize it as a much more complex structure defined in ADatoServiceLibrary_intf.js. This results in the error you see.

To get the sample working I just removed the file WebApplication1\Scripts\ADatoServiceLibrary_intf.js from the client app sample to resolve the naming conflict.

Tjee, such a simple solution. Thanks a lot.
