Thanks Nicklas. I know this issue has come up on the mailing list a couple of times, but I'm not sure what the solution is. As I said, I'm linking directly to Experiments in BASE from my Flex application. I'm doing this by doing an HTTP POST to /login.jsp with a redirect to views/experiments/index.jsp?cmd=ViewItem&item_id=...&ID=...
This works fine but there are a couple of problems. The first is that I call /login.jsp every time I link to an experiment. I'm using the same ID every time to avoid creating a new session. Is this the correct thing to do? The second problem is this issue with the active project. What is the correct way to ensure that the link works i.e. avoiding linking to an Experiment that isn't shared with the 'active' project? I have tried the following: 1. Generate a session ID 2. Use the webservices API to set the active project for this sessionID 3. Post to /login.jsp using this sessionID But this doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to link directly to an Experiment, ignoring whatever Project is currently active? Any help would be gratefully received.

There doesn't seem to be an ExperimentInfo.getProject() method. There is no such method since an experiment can belong to more than one project. The web service API has very limited functionality. The functionality that currently exists was implemented to support some specific use cases (mainly related to downloading data files) for a project that we participated in. Using the regular BASE API you can find the projects by putting the experiment in a collection and then using a multi-permissions object: Collection<Experiment> experiments = ... MultiPermissions mp = new MultiPermissions(experiments); ItemQuery<Project> q = mp.getProjects(); List<Project> project = q.list(dc); The code is a bit awkward, but for some reason the obvious approach, Experiment.getProjectKey().getProjects(), is missing. /Nicklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ basedb-devel mailing list basedb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/basedb-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ basedb-devel mailing list basedb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/basedb-devel
