Invocation of flow services

  • 1.  Invocation of flow services

    Posted Mon September 15, 2008 10:32 AM

    Hi,

    Currently, we invoke a flow service like this:

    http request → perform something → call the flow service using
    “Service.doInvoke(folder, service, flowMessage.getValue());”
    This one works.

    Now, we are trying to use activeMQ as JMS Provider, so the constellation would be like this:
    JMS queue → perform something → call the flow service using
    “Service.doInvoke(folder, service, flowMessage.getValue());”

    However, the second one doesn’t work. I got a “java.lang.NullPointerException”. Please see my stack trace below.

    Anybody have any idea what is going on? I suspect that the flow service needs some information from the HTTP session, and in my JMS case, i just bypass it (no http sessions at all).

    Thanks,
    Aries

    Can you check whether flow is reaching to the Flow service by putting something like savePipelineToFile in the flow sevice.

    Hi ajaynaina,

    Thanks for the reply…it is working now.
    I can not use the Service.invoke just like that.
    I need to craete a context first and then connect…then i can invoke it.

    Thanks,
    Aries
