WCF Service methods + Synchronous calls from javascript
I have written a WCF service and am trying to call the service methods in a script in my ASPX page.
Eg:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function Test() {
**// The following call is an Async call.
tempuri.org.IService.GetData(1,OnRequestComplete, OnError, "");**
}
function OnRequestComplete(result, state) {
var textBox = $get("txtInput");
textBox.value = result;
}
function OnError(result) {
var textBox 开发者_Go百科= $get("txtInput");
textBox.value = result;
}
//-->
</script>
What I want is to be able to call the service method "synchronously"
eg: var result = tempuri.org.IService.GetData(1);
Is this possible?
I believe there's no ability to do synchronous calls in Javascript - the AJAX libraries will always return while waiting for a remote response.
Can you explain why you want to do this?
Edit:
In answer, you should use this method:
In the onclick event handler for your form submit button: Make the webservice validation call, and immediately return false (so the form does not submit). It would be a good idea to display to the user a 'Validating' type message, so they know what is happening here.
If you get a valid response, then use
document.form.submit();
to submit the form to the server.- If you get an invalid response, or a server error, then display to the user a message to that effect.
If you use regular AJAX you can make your call synchronous.
See: http://www.w3schools.com/Ajax/ajax_xmlhttprequest_send.asp and scroll down to the part "Asynchronous - True or False?"
Here I use AJAX but sometimes it hangs www.DomainGuarder.com
