Calling a WebMethod from Javascript issue.

I am calling a server-side webmethod from inside a javascript loop on the client via a Pagemethods call. The loop is exactly 300 items and the calls to the server are all sent quickly and pile up on the server. See below:

Javascript
==================================
for (i = 0; i < selectedValues.length; i++) {

     PageMethods.WM_PostInvoice(strParamList, OnSuccessCallback, OnFailureCallback);
}

Webmethod on Server
==================================
Public Shared Function WM_PostInvoice(ByVal strParamList As String) As String

        Try

            'Threading.Thread.Sleep(900) 'OK - 900 milliseconds(0.9 seconds) X 300 requests = 270 seconds = 4.5mins
            'Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) 'OK - 1000 milliseconds(1 second) X 300 requests = 300 seconds = 5mins

     'Threading.Thread.Sleep(1100) 'Fails - 1100 milliseconds(1.1 seconds) X 330 requests = 270 seconds = 5.5mins
            'Threading.Thread.Sleep(1200) 'Fails - Etc.
            'Threading.Thread.Sleep(1500) 'Fails - Etc.

            '    strReturn &= "|0|Success!"

        Catch ex As Exception

            strReturn &= "|-1|Error: " & ex.Message

        End Try

        Return strReturn

    End Function

The problem I'm having is, whenever the sum of the call totals over 5 minutes, all calls AFTER 5 minutes fail. Any suggestions to make calls that have been qued but not processed within 5 minutes not fail? I have tried changing lots of setting without any success. See below.

On the page
=============================
<%@ Page Title="" ...... AsyncTimeout="800" %>
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" EnablePageMethods="true" AsyncPostBackTimeout="600" >

On the code behind page
=============================
Server.ScriptTimeout = 3600

Web.config
=============================
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="600" />
<sessionState timeout="90" />

Hi,

And the error you have is ? It happens under "normal" circumstances or when slowing down down intentionally your web site ?

Ususally you would post a list rather than individual items so that you can achieve the same result wiht just few calls and avoid the latency you get wiht each and every call. Make sure also they are all needed. For example if this is following changes you could post maybe only updated items rather than to post them all.

Hi mitchpetel,

According to your description, I have created a test demo on my side, it works well.

It could run well after 5 minutes.

Could you please post the details error message?

More details about my test demo, you could refer to below codes:

ASPX:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            for (i = 0; i < 300; i++) {
                var strParamList="111";
                PageMethods.WM_PostInvoice(strParamList);
            }
        })
        //$(function () {
        //    for (i = 0; i < 800; i++) {
        //        var strParamList = "111";
        //        PageMethods.WM_PostInvoice(strParamList);
        //    }
        //})
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div>
            <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" EnablePageMethods="true" AsyncPostBackTimeout="600"></asp:ScriptManager>
        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Code-behind:

Imports System.Web.Services
Imports System.Threading

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
                  Server.ScriptTimeout = 3600
End Sub

            <System.Web.Services.WebMethod>
            Public Shared Function WM_PostInvoice(ByVal strParamList As String) As String
                  Dim strReturn As String=" "
                  Try
                        Thread.Sleep(900)
                        Thread.Sleep(1000)
                        Thread.Sleep(1100)
                        Thread.Sleep(1200)
                        Thread.Sleep(1500)

                        strReturn &= "|0|Success!"
                  Catch ex As Exception
                        strReturn &= "|-1|Error: " & ex.Message

                  End Try
                  Return strReturn
            End Function

Result:

Best Regards,

Thanks for the input Brando

Try modifying your code to catch the successful and failed calls. In my case all calls executed 5 mins after I click the button, are caught by the OnFailureCallback function. See code below:

PageMethods.WM_PostInvoice(strParamList, OnSuccessCallback, OnFailureCallback);

-----------------------------------------------------------

  function OnSuccessCallback(results) {
            //alert(results);           
        }

        function OnFailureCallback(error) {

            var stackTrace = error.get_stackTrace();
            var message = error.get_message();
            var statusCode = error.get_statusCode();
            var exceptionType = error.get_exceptionType();
            var timedout = error.get_timedOut();

            var n = Date.now();
            //var varRepNum = Number(txtInvCntr.GetText()) + 1;

            // Display the error.    
            var RsltElem =
                document.getElementById("Results");
            RsltElem.innerHTML =
                "Stack Trace: " + stackTrace + "<br/>" +
                "Service Error: " + message + "<br/>" +
                "Status Code: " + statusCode + "<br/>" +
                "Exception Type: " + exceptionType + "<br/>" +
                "Timedout: " + timedout  + "<br/>" +
                "Rep Number: " + varRepNum;
            
        }

It could help to let us know which error details are captured.

Regardless of what happens, IMO you should redesign your API (AFAIK a browser can send around 10 requests before blocking on the next ones). Even if not directly related to your help it should help and you'll liekly have also a much better performance.
