webMethods Knowlegebase : Calling pub.flow:getCallingService in debug mode (1795537)

Troubleshooting


Problem

Using built-in service pub.flow:getCallingService to return the name of the calling service.

This works okay in general except in the following instance where it returns null values in DEBUG mode:

1. Flow service "flow1" calls Java Service

2. Java service calls Flow service "flow2" (using Service.DoInvoke)

3. Flow service "flow2" calls child service "flow3"

4. Child service "flow3 called pub.flow:getCallingService which returns null values rather than "flow2"

This works okay when invoking the top level service using "Run as", but not when using "Debug as".
