Hi, I am working on a sample application with flex (and LCDS data services) and have been experimenting with directly calling the fill method (extending AbstractAssembler) as a way of poking data into a server-side DB. Every time I try to run my test case fill is not getting called . I'd appreciate any pointers as to where I'm going wrong...
I am directly using the lcds-sample.war, in that testdrive-dataservice code Sorry for the lengthy code attach. my mxml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF"> <mx:ArrayCollection id="products"/> <mx:DataService id="ds" destination="inventory"/> <Product/> <mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{products}" editable="true" width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="name" headerText="Name"/> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="category" headerText="Category"/> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="price" headerText="Price"/> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="image" headerText="Image"/> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="description" headerText="Description"/> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> <mx:Button label="Get Data" click="ds.fill(products)"/> </mx:Application> ProductAssembler.java extends AbstractAssembler ******************************************************** package flex.samples.product; import java.util.List; import java.util.Collection; import java.util.Map; import flex.data.assemblers.AbstractAssembler; public class ProductAssembler extends AbstractAssembler { public Collection fill(List fillArgs) { List list = new ArrayList(); System.out.println(" in service"); return list; } public void createItem(Object item) { } } ******************************************************************** Product.as package { [Managed] [RemoteClass(alias="flex.samples.product.Product")] public class Product { public function Product() { } public var productId:int; public var name:String; public var description:String; public var image:String; public var category:String; public var price:Number; public var qtyInStock:int; } } ************************************************* package flex.samples.product; import java.io.Serializable; public class Product implements Serializable { static final long serialVersionUID = 103844514947365244L; private int productId; private String name; private String description; private String image; private String category; private double price; private int qtyInStock; public Product() { } public Product(int productId, String name, String description, String image, String category, double price, int qtyInStock) { this.productId = productId; this.name = name; this.description = description; this.image = image; this.category = category; this.price = price; this.qtyInStock = qtyInStock; } public String getCategory() { return category; } public void setCategory(String category) { this.category = category; } public String getDescription() { return description; } public void setDescription(String description) { this.description = description; } public String getImage() { return image; } public void setImage(String image) { this.image = image; } public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public double getPrice() { return price; } public void setPrice(double price) { this.price = price; } public int getProductId() { return productId; } public void setProductId(int productId) { this.productId = productId; } public int getQtyInStock() { return qtyInStock; } public void setQtyInStock(int qtyInStock) { this.qtyInStock = qtyInStock; } } ********************************************************************* data-management-config.xml <destination id="inventory"> <properties> <source>flex.samples.product.ProductAssembler</source> <scope>application</scope> <metadata> <identity property="productId"/> </metadata> <network> <paging enabled="false" pageSize="10" /> </network> <item-class>flex.samples.product.Product</item-class> </properties> </destination>
