Premature End of file - Ajax & Custom form

yuri.rj

I'm evaluating AwareIM and i still use the trial version.
But while i was trying to use custom forms using ajax it keeps returning an error saying PREMATURE END OF FILE....
Either using my own custom form or using the simple form ajax sample...
Anyone can explain me why? i read some where that it could be because i'm using the trial version.
is this right? So...i'm evaluating the tool, but i can't evaluate this?

This has nothing to do with the evaluation version - there are no limitations on development of custom forms. You are doing something wrong in your development environment and this particular error can mean many different things. I don't think the problem is related to Aware IM in any way...

This is a little bit strange....the only thing i've done is load the example bsv...
I didn't wrote any code at all...
Just loaded and clicked on the publish to test button....

aware_support

So this has nothing to do with custom development at all? Then your BSV is somehow corrupt. This BSV is used by many customers...

yuri.rj

are we talking about ajax simple form bsv located in AWAREIM\SAMPLES\AJAX\AJAX.BSV??????????

aware_support

No, I was talking about our standard sample applications. ajax.bsv is out-dated, don't use it - it will be replaced in version 5.0.

Create your own BSV using instructions in the Programmers Reference Guide.

Hi guys
I have a licensed version of AwareIm running on windows
and everything is playing nicely except for the AwareIm XML interface.

Im just trying to send a login action to my server using this xml
"<login_action business_space='RealAds' user_name='admin' password='password' testing_mode='true' />"

I get this back

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?>

<!DOCTYPE aware_im PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems Inc.//DTD Aware IM Version 2.0//EN" "http://www.awareim.com/dtd/awareim.dtd" >

<failure>Premature end of file.</failure>

Any idea what Im doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
James

Update to this I was posting the data to
"http://xxxxx.com/AwareIM/xml.do"

which is the old url but still current in the docs
So the new url works
which is in the NOTE, under the docs

the correct url is
"http://xxxxx.com/AwareIM/xml.awr"

Thanks

Ok this is getting very frustrating...
Im wrong its still not working.
Here are the results

if I use the xml.do xml interface I get the following returned

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?>

<!DOCTYPE aware_im PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems Inc.//DTD Aware IM Version 2.0//EN" "http://www.awareim.com/dtd/awareim.dtd" >

<failure>Premature end of file.</failure>

But if I use the xml.awr xml interface at least I get a correctly formatted
result, but its always a fail. I even restarted my server to get a fresh start but I always get this same reply... Ive timed out??

<root>

<login_action_return>

<failure timeout="true">Session has timed out</failure>

</login_action_return>

</root>

So its talking to me
But not saying much,

Please can anyone shed some light onto
which interface I should be using and what Im doing wrong

again thanks heaps in advance
James 🙁

Had the same errors... I Gave up using Ajax...
Sorry I can't help you
If you find the solution, please share...

I am not sure what's happening with the old XML interface - it is quite old and possibly obsolete. But the new one (.aw) works because the entire Aware IM front end is built based on this UI.

However, it assumes that you are sending AJAX requests from the browser that remembers the session in a cookie. Therefore, the session id is not returned to the client.

You need to start by sending the login request to logonOp.aw or logonAdmin.aw:
logonOp.aw?domain=...&userName=...&password=...&testingMode=...

See how this is done in logon.html and logonAdmin.html

This will return a big XML response encoded inside the file startup.html. This will then start the Aware IM front end - take a look at the startup.html. You can change the startup.html to perform your own UI handling based on your own AJAX front end. The file startup.html is your starting point here.

You need good knowledge of Javascript and AJAX to work with this and change the Aware IM front end.

Thanks for the update Ill have a play
before I read this I opened a support request for help on this.
I will forge ahead but if I run into problems I will continue this via the support request

Thanks for your prompt reply

The problem with this is I dont want to replace the AJAX front end.
Im creating a PC smartclient. I dont want to logon via an html page.

the logonOp.aw or logonAdmin.aw returns the html for a logon page.
I just want to logon on and get a session ID via an xml POST like the interface documents suggest you can do, so I can work with the server via XML.

I have a support request in for this and have emailed Vladimir with extra info
If I a get resolution I will post here for people who just want to interact with the server not create an Ajax front end .

Thanks for your help James

This means that you need to use the old XML interface.

We have just tested it and it appears to work well. This is exactly the command we are sending:

<login_action business_space='CRM' user_name='admin' password='password' testing_mode='false' />

to this URL:
http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/xml.do

The response is:
<login_action_return><session_id>A084213964BE297D24C14DF00656829F</session_id></login_action_return>

which is what we expected.

Please try again. If you are still getting the premature end of file response provide the output of Tomcat and the Aware IM Server when this response is received.
