getActiveInstances

[SolitonMan]

Hello,

I'm trying to create an application system based on FMIS, and my basic model
involves having multiple instances of one application running, and managing
those instances with another application. I believe that I can implement my
management with appropriately configured .asc files and NetConnection objects,
but I want the application instances to be dynamically named, and to retrieve
these instances in real time from the server. Based on my reading of the
Administration API Reference, it seems that the getActiveInstances function
should fulfill this need. However, I'm having trouble getting it to work.
I've tried to implement it this way:

var objResult = new Object();
objResult.onResult = function() {
/*trace("Result :" + this.toString());
for (var obj in this) {
trace(obj + " = " + this[obj]);
}*/
trace("Results :" + this.data);
}
objResult.onStatus = function() {
/*trace("Status :" + this.toString());
for (var obj in this) {
trace(obj + " = " + this[obj]);
}*/
trace("Status :" + this.data);
}
nc.call("getActiveInstances", objResult);

In the above, nc is a NetConnection object that is successfully connecting to
my admin server. The commented out code in my onResult and onStatus handlers
worked, but showed no array of string names of application instances. The data
property of the objResult object is coming back undefined.

I'd like to find an example of how to successfully implement this concept.
I'm not married to the use of getActiveInstances, although I would like to be
able to dynamically query the server and retrieve the currently running
applications on FMIS. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hey,

Nevermind! I figured out that I needed to modify my event handlers to include
a parameter to represent the information object returned by the method call,
and that this object then contains the data I'm seeking in the data property.
So for example, the onResult handler is now:

objResult.onResult = function(infoObj) {
trace("Results :" + infoObj.data);
}

Thanks in advance for reading, hopefully my confusion will be useful to others!
