Property Detail
lastResultproperty
lastResult:Array  [read-only]

The last result of executing the Get Datasets task. This array contains items of the String type.


Implementation
    public function get lastResult():Array
Constructor Detail
GetDatasetsTask()Constructor
public function GetDatasetsTask(urlOrClient:Object = null)

Creates a new instance of the GetDatasetsTask class.

A new task can be constructed in two ways: as a task sharing a BAOnlineClient type instance with other tasks (the urlOrClient parameter has the BAOnlineClient type) or as a standalone task encapsulating its own client.

The base URL to the Community Analyst Web Services looks as follows:

http://{host}:{port}

The {host} and {port} parameters in this URL should be substituted with valid Community Analyst host name and port, respectively.

If urlOrClient is null, the "http://baoapi.esri.com" value is assigned as the base URL.

Parameters
urlOrClient:Object (default = null) — A variable containing either Community Analyst HTTP Service base URL string or an instance of the BAOnlineClient class.

Method Detail
createCommand()method
public function createCommand(commandName:String = null):BACommand

Creates a new command encapsulating this task and the given parameters.

Parameters

commandName:String (default = null) — Command name.

Returns
BACommand — A new command.
createParameters()method 
public static function createParameters():IBATaskParameters

Creates parameters of this task in order to execute it with a generic or batch task.

Returns
IBATaskParameters — Parameters of this task.

execute()method 
public function execute(responder:IResponder = null):AsyncToken

Sends a request for executing a Get Datasets task to the Business Analyst Server HTTP (REST) Service.

A response can be received in two ways—in an optional responder object passed in parameters of this method and/or in listeners of fault and taskCompleted events registered for this task.

The responder is notified first when a response is received and parsed. Its fault method receives a parameter of the FaultEvent type and its result method receives a parameter of the BATaskCompletedEvent type whose result property contains the result object. After that the received event is dispatched to listeners of this task.

If a response is succesfully received and parsed, the result is assigned to the lastResult property of this task.

Parameters

responder:IResponder (default = null) — A responder to call on result or fault.

Returns
AsyncToken — Asynch token associated with the response.
Constant Detail
nameConstant
public static const name:String = report/GetDatasets

Task name.

Examples
ActionScript to execute a Get Datasets task:
     
     getDatasetsTask.execute(new Responder(resultHandler, faultHandler));
