Hello, I am in process of Converting Flex-BlazeDS-Spring-SpringSecurity application to AIR-BlazeDS-Spring-SpringSecurity Stack. The main reason is the client's requirement needs some local data storage and client feels it inconvenient to use application in browser. Backend Application server is TOMCAT.
The Browser Based working Flex application has following work Flow. When User Connects to site Login HTML page is presented with Login Name, Password edits. User enters LoginName, Password and submits the form to j_spring_security_check. Spring security is configured in such fashion that on successful login it takes to page containing Flex application. Flex application in its application complete event makes a HTTPService call to a settings.xml and gets Global Settings for the application then it dynamically creates channelSet defs and starts making RO calls for spring services. Application generates reports to PDF/xls/xlsx/ods etc. etc. formats and saves at secured location and are being retrieved by making HTTPService calls to those files. I would like to maintain same workflow as far as possible though I am ready to change it, if its not practically possible in AIR. Please Guide me on 1. How to Login at HTTP level from AIR application. 2. How to create secured AMF channels (AMF channels are secured in Spring Security to ROLE_AUTHENTICATED). 3. How To retrieve files from locations which are secured by spring security (access controlled to ROLE_AUTHENTICATED) Thanks and warm Regards Raja Patil
