Question

My javascript code is calling a asp.net webservice, so i have a call to the webservice something like this:

MyWebservice.GetData(param, ResponseReceived, ResponseTimeOut, ResponseError);

When the webservice returns data, ResponseReceived method is called.

However sometimes the user might navigate to another url before the webservice call actually returns, in such a scenario FireFox throws an Error saying ‘An error occured oricessubg the request. The server method GetData failed’

So my question is how can i kill the async call when the user navigates to another page or makes another request to the webservice? I know in a normal XMLHttpRequest i could have called Abort method, but not sure how to make it work with the above webservice proxy.

Answer 1

Ok I figured out a solution, I can call get_executor() method to get an instance of the XmlHttpExecutor class, on which I can call the abort method. Hope it helps others facing a similar problem.

I’m still eager to find out other solutions.
