TaminoResult

var tamResult =
tamClient.query("Telephone[Firstname='Bill']"); if (!tamResult.errorNo) { // if
no error ...}

This delivers the error number corresponding to the action that created the TaminoResult object. A zero error value implies that there was no error.

var tamResult =
tamClient.query("Telephone[Firstname='Bill']"); if (tamResult.errorNo) {
alert(tamResult.errorText); return(tamResult.errorNO) } // if no error {
...}

This delivers the error text corresponding to the action that created the TaminoResult object. This only can be interpreted if the errorNo property is non-zero.

var dom = tamResult.DOM; var
newPar=dom.createElement("P"); newPar.appendChild( dom.createTextNode("Mary had
a little Lamb"));

This delivers the complete Tamino response as a DOM object (provided it can successfully be parsed). This has two uses:

• To provide a DOM object to facilitate method calls like createElement, which are only implemented by the DOM Object.

• For diagnostic purposes. In particular, this object has a property parseError which is non-null when a parse error has occurred. This object has in turn properties, two of which are errorCode and reason which explain the parsing error. This is described in the Microsoft documentation.

var req = tamResult.REQ; var
status=req.status;

This delivers the XML HTTP request object used to generate the TaminoResult.

The request object is described in the Microsoft Documentation and can be used to obtain further information about the HTTP request. The following properties are particularly useful:

1. status
   The numerical HTTP error status if any. This would be interrogated if an error 8400 was reported by the Tamino Result. The status value is present in the error message, but it might be more convenient to obtain it this way. Alternatively, it can be used to determine if a PUT caused a document to be overwritten or not.

2. statusText
   The text corresponding to the numerical status.

The object has the method getResponseHeader, which can be used to pick out specific HTTP headers in the Tamino response. The most useful is the header which describes when the document read was last modified. This is returned when getDocument or head methods are called. It is invoked as follows: var dateText=testResult.REQ.getResponseHeader("Last-Modified");

var tamResult = tam.getDocument(somerelativeurl); if
(tamResult.errorNo) alert(tamResult.lastQuery + " gave " +
tamResult.errorText);

This property records the URL used to retrieve the TaminoResult.
