[flexcoders] SOLVED - AMF, IE, and a non-trusted certificate

[Anthony DeBonis]

We solved the issue:
 
Added add-no-cache-headers to our channel definition - this problem was solved 
back in 2006 in this case: 
http://blogs.adobe.com/lin/archives/flex/security/index.html
 
We had requested our server admin to add this property to the 
service-config.xml a month ago but it never happened so we were chasing a ghost.
 Once we set up our own LCDS server we could isolate the problem fast.

[Anthony DeBonis]

Still not working in IE - 
If it was crossdomain it should not work with Firefox but it does work with 
Firefox and Chrome - only IE is an issue. We are requesting back to the exact 
server that is serving up the Flex app so it should not trigger a crossdomain 
issue.  If we compile with Flex 4 SKD it works in IE... I tried monkey patching 
rpc.swc from 4.o  to 4.2 and that did not seam to help.

Any support would be appreciated.

Tom,

More information on this IE issue - we don't think its a cert issue at all 
because if we compile with the Flex 4 SDK it works fine in IE.  Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Re: AMF, IE, and a non-trusted certificate

[Anthony DeBonis]

This is still a problem but we know more now..
It's not the cert or proxy.

IF we compile the Flex application with Flex 4  IT WORKS.
Tried 3.2, 3.3,3.4  and it does not work - remote object calls still fail when 
using IE

Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Re: Remote AMF all in IE7 Fails NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 403

[Anthony DeBonis]

Very good idea - I tried the reset steps but still no joy.
You may be onto something because the certificate on this server is a internal 
generated cert - not a trusted cert so we do get a cert warning before 
page/application loads.

This is still a real problem for us and need to figure out why this is 
happening.

[flexcoders] Remote AMF all in IE7 Fails NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 403

[Anthony DeBonis]

Need a fix for this ASAP - any help would be great

We have remote object calls to LCDS that work fine in Firefox and Chrome but 
fail when we user IE 7 as the browser.

FaultDetail: NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 403


Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 403: url: 
'https://{servernamehere}/doh2/applinks/webserv/datavis/messagebroker/amf'

IF I just hit the URL for the endpoint in IE7 it works fine - we get back a 
blank white empty page so we know the endpoint us available.

The Channel is using mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel 

service-config.xml entries:


http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf"; 
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>

   false




https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amfsecure";
 class="flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint"/>

false

[flexcoders] Re: Mate CacheSetter

[Anthony DeBonis]

We use static constants for all these properties so we don't end up with simple 
type Os

Example:
static public const PROP_APPLICATION_IS_READY:String = "applicationIsReady";
private var _applicationIsReady:Boolean;
+ setter/getter

And in the map




Odd to see it trapping the type check on foo... but hope this helps.

[Anthony DeBonis]

You can install SubClipse http://subclipse.tigris.org/  into FlexBuilder and 
follow instruction on pulling the src right into a Flex Project.

Or install something like Tortois  http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/

Yes we tried it for a while on a project with a UI designer... it generates

something else on another screen.  Ok for quick mock up but not all that good 
for real UI development where you want to create custom components...

[flexcoders] LCDS - For a Chat Application

[Anthony DeBonis]

Anyone have an idea on how to use LCDS or BlazeDS for a Chat Application?   Its 
easy to get your basic chat up and running with a simple producer/consumer 
messaging BUT its not clear on how to:

1)Set up a list of available rooms (Subtopics)  so that all users get a pick 
list of available rooms.  I have a basic MultiTopicProducer/ MultiTopicConsumer 
set up but if a user comes online late they don't get the list of rooms… only 
new rooms that get created.  Or do we have to wait for Flash Collaboration 
Services" (AFCS)

2)Online User list – need a way to have a server side list that is kept up 
today with who is online… something like a Server Side Shared object like Flash 
Media server has.

3) Make durable messages – so users who come online later can get caught up on 
messages they missed..   I tried a bunch of settings in messaging-config.xml  
like true  but they don't work or as the docs say they 
should.


Any insight would be helpful

[flexcoders] flex.portal.GenericFlexPortlet - app_uri on Web Logic

[Anthony DeBonis]

Has anyone got this to work and if so what did you put into app_uri?

The GenericFlexPortlet class is not well documented but it sort of works when 
you need to deploy a Flex app inside a portal.  I can get the application to 
come up inside the portal running on WebLogic Portal ONLY if I put the swf(s), 
protlet and portal all in the same directory.  If I try to organize the portlet 
into directories it can not resolve the location of the swf.

Plus when trying to use your Flex based portlet at a "Remote Portlet", as 
stated in the Adobe docs, the app_uri does not seam to do anything.

Here is my portlet.xml

If the DB is SqlLite  you can use Christophs Coenraet's  application

If your are talking MySql, Oracle... you can't connect dirrect to DB and there

We wrote a in-house tool that connects to DB though ColdFusion.. basic select,

[flexcoders] Re: How to acces POST of REST Service thru Flex (Couldn't establish a connection

Try switching destination  to url

destinations need to be preset in services-config.xml

Also add a fault handler would help so you can place a break point and look at

[flexcoders] Re: problem with services-config.xml in multiple work environments..

What is the service type?  If you talking AMF be sure to use 
{server.name}  and not hard code the name... this is the default for 
most of the services in the config... did you have to change yours?

Example - 

http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/a
mf" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>

false

[flexcoders] Re: writing data to SQL database

[Anthony DeBonis]

You may find not many people use the wizard - its ok for a quick demo 
(maybe code table admins) but not for real application development.

Check the CF Logs under the CF install dir, there may be something in 
the logs to tell what the problem is IF its on the CF side.

I often create a basic cfm file to test call the CFC function to be 
sure it returns what I expect and removed Flex from the complexity.
Write cfunit test is another great way to test each CFC call to be 
sure its correct.

Find the fault event handler (OR add one if it does not exist)and put 
a break just inside the event handler function - look at the 
FaultEvent in the debugger - it should have some info that will help 
you.

We do this all the time for things like credit card processing 
forms... create a component (mxml or AS) - then you can reuse it many 
times - even in other applications with just a little work.

[flexcoders] Re: filtering blazeds messages

[Anthony DeBonis]

Message Service destinations support subtopics -  The subtopic feature 
lets you divide the messages that a Producer component sends to a 
destination into specific categories in the destination. You can 
configure a Consumer component that subscribes to the destination to 
receive only messages sent to a specific subtopic or set of subtopics. 
You use wildcard characters (*) to subscribe for messages from more 
than one subtopic.

http://livedocs.adobe.com/blazeds/1/blazeds_devguide/help.html?
content=messaging_7.html

Also you could use- Message filtering
Use the AsyncMessage.headers property of the message to specify the 
message headers. The headers are contained in an associative Array 
where the key is the header name and the value is either a String or a 
number

message.headers = new Array();
message.headers["prop1"] = 5;


It depends on what you need

[flexcoders] Re: Accessibility stopped working

[Anthony DeBonis]

Try compiling with accessible turned off and get the swf size - when 
you turn accessible compile back on the swf size should be a bit 
larger. This will tell you if the compile is backing in the needed 
classes. If so it may be the client tool you're using to run the 
application. Can you give more information?

[flexcoders] Re: warning on 'back' button before closing application?

[Anthony DeBonis]

Yes it is possible but you need some JavaScript

You can create a js include file or put this in your wrapper template 
file.  The idea is to put a event listener on the onbeforeunload  
function.  I have tested this in a few more common browsers  and it 
works. 

window.onbeforeunload = warnOfUnsavedChanges;

function warnOfUnsavedChanges(){
//You can add a boolean to be set using externalInterface IF 
the form/data is dirty in Flex
return 'You have unsaved changes on this page, which will be 
discarded if you leave now. Click Cancel in order to save them 
first.';
}


Simple string return from the onbeforeunload method does the trick.
I would also like to get this working from inside Flex to use the 
externalInterface to inject the needed JS but I did not have luck yet 
with this.

[flexcoders] Re: Security sandbox and two domains

[Anthony DeBonis]

I don't think it matters what is in the swf it matters that one swf 
is requesting something from other then the server it was loaded from.

If your running Flash 10 things have changed - you have to do more 
things then just a basic crossdomain file.

Run your application in FireBug and you will see the requests - and 
see requests errors that occur..

A lot of people are having issues with this now:

Adobe implemented the stricter requirements in Flash Player in three
phases. In Phase 1, which began with Flash Player 9,0,115,0, a small

versions
of Flash Player. In Phase 1.5, which began with Flash Player

[flexcoders] Re: how to improve performance in flex application

[Anthony DeBonis]

Can you test the back end http service independent of Flex to see how 
fast it is...
Make as many improvements you can, including server side caching if 
possible.

Firebug plug to Firefox in can give you a quick view of how fast your 
data is returned and what size the payload is

If the data service is returning your data fast enough and Flex is 
working too hard parsing the data can you pre-aggregate the data on the 
server side with counts/group by's  and return just the data the chart 
needs to display

-Be sure to load test more then just one browser – what is you expected 
user base
-Be sure to optimize you query (show plan.. ) add indexes if possable

I am sure there are other tricks too but these you can do in the short 
term

[flexcoders] Re: flex and oracle

[Anthony DeBonis]

Yes - good point but I should have been clearer. I was thinking about 
my experience with PowerBuilder and VB type application with direct 
DB connection being held open.

There are many examples of connecting to get data for Flex but 
because of the sandbox of the browser we can't (easily) directly 
connect to the database.  Flex can be thought of N-tier because to 
get to the database you will normally use an application server.

You would not want to make a direct Oracle connection from Flex – old 
Client/Server technology does not work over the "Intranet".

You need to make service call either RemoteObject / WebService/HTTP 
Service calls.

For RemoteObject calls you can look into BlazeDS 
http://biemond.blogspot.com/2008/03/deploy-blazeds-on-oc4j-oracle-

You can call these libs from LCDS or BlazeDS (or WebOrb too) using the

I would suggest creating a service facade layer of POJO, plan old Java

Its not hard to do and with BlazeDS you can get it up and running in

Re: RES: [flexcoders] Server to client calls

[Anthony DeBonis]

BlazeDS has some examples of dispatching events from Java but in your 
Flex application you will have to set up consumer to listen(pole) for 
messages.

Sample in BlazeDS: http://localhost:8400/samples/#traderdesktop
Start the feed triggers a JSP with code like this...
Feed feed = new Feed();
feed.start();


Then inside Feed.java

AsyncMessage msg = new AsyncMessage();
msg.setDestination("feed");
msg.setClientId(clientID);
msg.setMessageId(UUIDUtils.createUUID());
msg.setTimestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
msg.setBody(new Double(currentValue));
msgBroker.routeMessageToService(msg, null);

Hope this helps.

[flexcoders] Re: The BlazeDS server ?

[Anthony DeBonis]

CF can do RemoteObject no problem out of the Box.

You can use BlazeDS if you want to do messaging... push or pull/ 
publish subscribe.  It also allows you to call Java/pojo from Flex and 
other features too.

Yes – we have seen this issue mainly in IE not Firefox.  The browser

the latest swf

Did you include automation libraries (SWCs) at compile time 

-include-

" "C:\...\libs\qtp.swc"

Besure not to use Tabbed Browser feature - turn it off.

Compare project settings between your project and sample store looking

[flexcoders] Re: Please help - Flex component kit

[Anthony DeBonis]

I have this working in both Flex 1.2 w/Kit 1.0.1  and Flex 3 w/Kit 
1.1.2

But what I found in Flex 3 is there are now 2 Commands:

Convert Symbol to Flex Component
Convert Symbol to Flex Container

I needed to use the 1st one "Flex Componet"

I also needed to change my code to use the Symbol Name not the 
instance name > the Output message clued me in on this change-it said

Symbol "Ny_Metro_export" can be used as a Flex component.

in Flex I just used that name and Flex compiled and it runs.


Other things to check:
-Besure you get a fresh swc > even delete it 1st to be sure your 
publishing to the correct location.
-Besure you publish then trigger a recompile on the Flex side else 
you are running an old version of the swc.  To be sure I put trace 
out in Flash with a number and I incrument the number.  Then run the 
Flex app in debug mode and you will see the trace.

[flexcoders] Re: How to compile my application?

[Anthony DeBonis]

This is easy, just save (auto build will compile it) and run the app 
local to make sure it works.

It will launch a browser and if you look at the path you will see it 
points to an html file in the /bin dir.

You need almost everything in the /bin dir deployed/ftp to the web 
server... including AC_OETags.js, history.* and the html and swif 
files.

You don't need a bin dir on the server > it can be at the root of a 
site and you can rename myapp.htm to index.htm and the app will load 
at the root.

hope this helps

You can not in Flex because of the Flash/Browser security.
The FileReferance obj will allow you to browse/pick a file and post it 
back to the server but you do not have access to the bits in Flash.

You need to use AIR if this is a requirement.

This is correct - Flash is converting the datetime on you based on your

If you return just a string date back from you DB query (or what every

The data is comming from the Date object and that has a bunch of methods

[flexcoders] Does Flex support Client Side Digital Certificates

Does Flex support Client Side Digital Certificates?

I have been asked this question several times each time I have a hard

Has anyone implemented this and do you have a code that tests it out. 

If it's all https traffic I am sure the browser handles this fine but 
what if you're using Flex Data Services for AMF binary transfer or 
messaging with Flash/Flex support the client side certificate?

[flexcoders] Re: Working with Session....

[Anthony DeBonis]

I am sure there are many ways to make this happen some better then 
others.

-IF values never change once they are logged in then you could pass 
them in a FlashVars... kinda oldschool but still works

- Write them as JavaScript vars on page and read them in, like with at 
External Interface 
(http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/flash/external/ExternalInterfa
ce.html) or  Flex/AJax bridge

- Write a service (jsp or something) that returns the users session 
vars as XML and just call the service anytime you want to recheck the 
users current session values.

[flexcoders] Re: XML, does it have to be RSS?

[Anthony DeBonis]

On your httpService  setresultFormat="xml" 
Then use debugger to see what you get back in result event to then 
see how to pick out what your looking for.  Should work with out a 
problem.

Recommend you close projects that you do not need open.

Make sure to close Help page or just not leave in "Releated Topics"

Minimize your installed pugins - the more you have the more memory

[flexcoders] Re: Generate Flex Forms on the fly

[Anthony DeBonis]

I just coded something like this - a adhoc custom form builder.
I store the form definition in XML like xforms and at runtime I use
the xml to create a Flex from on the fly.  

Create a empty  tag with a ID

For each element in your xml create a form item (& control) and do a
addChild() to the form… in a loop.

I created a object w/ create methods for each type of control + added
grid to layout the form for the special need I had…

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Example:
for each (var fld:XML in lvl.fld)
{
//New row in grid for each control
var gridRow:GridRow =new GridRow();

[flexcoders] Re: How do you install CF Extensions for Flex 2?

[Anthony DeBonis]

After installing FlexBuilder 2 I found this dir:
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations\Adobe Flex Builder 2\ColdFusion 
Extensions for Flex Builder 
and it has a file called Installing the ColdFusion Extensions for 
Flex Builder 2.htm

Here are the instructions that worked for me:
Installing the ColdFusion Extensions for Adobe® Flex™ Builder™ 2

Before you install the ColdFusion Extensions for Flex Builder, you 
must have the following products installed:

* Flex Builder 2
* ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 

Note: If you installed a previous version of the ColdFusion 
Extensions for Flex Builder, you must uninstall that version before 
installing the ColdFusion Extensions for Flex Builder feature. To do 
so, stop Flex Builder, delete all files that begin 
with "com.adobe.coldfusion." from the plugins folder that is under 
the Flex Builder folder, and then restart Flex Builder.

To install the ColdFusion Plugin for Flex Builder 2:

   1. In Flex Builder, select Help > Software Updates > Find and 
Install.
   2. Select the Search For New Features To Install option, and then 
click Next.
   3. Click New Archived Site.
   4. Select the ColdFusion_FlexBuilder_Feature.zip file, and then 
click Open.
   5. When the Edit Local Site dialog box appears, click OK.
   6. Ensure that the ColdFusion_FlexBuilder_feature.zip is 
selected, and then click Finish.
   7. In the Search Results window, select the check box next to 
ColdFusion_FlexBuilder_Feature.zip, and then click Next.
   8. Select the I Accept The Terms In This License Agreement 
option, and then click Next.
   9. Click Finish.
  10. Click Install All.
  11. When the installation is complete, click Yes to restart Flex 
Builder. 

To uninstall the ColdFusion Extensions for Flex Builder, you must 
first disable them, and then uninstall them.

[flexcoders] Flex 2 Dynamic DataGrid column width issue

[Anthony DeBonis]

We are using a DataGrid and appending columns to the right side and it 
works fine ONLY if the DataGrid is visable.

IF we add columns and the DataGrid is in a ViewStack and not the 
current visible item in the stack THEN make it visible – the column 
widths are all messed up.  We can find no way to get it to resize the 
columns correctly – we would have to force the widths to something 
hard coded.

Is there a way to get the grid to recalc column widths based on the 
current data its holding?

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2.0 Deployment with Remote Coldfusion Server

[Anthony DeBonis]

The short answer is yes you can but there are many variables that 
will effect you setup.

I was able to do it no problem using ColdFusion CFCs - worked on my 
local laptop and have deployed to several servers.  If Flex app is 
delivered from the same host/port name then Flex will have no 
problem making the calls.  IF not you will need to set 
whitelist/crossdomain policy file ...ect theres lots of doc out on 
that.  Hope this helps


Exmple:
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/1/deployingcheckli
st/deployingchecklist2.html

Its not the best but give you a line of sight...

[flexcoders] Re: Variable number of columns in ColumnChart

[Anthony DeBonis]

Brendan - thank you that worked!!!

In my case it was:
in side a loop
{ 
  var cs:ColumnSeries = new ColumnSeries();
  cs.yField = some dynamic val...
  cs.name = some dynamic val...
  //added the next line and Legend now displays...
  cs.displayName = some dynamic val...

  then
  chart.series.push(cs); //to add the new ColumnSeries()

}

[flexcoders] Re: Variable number of columns in ColumnChart

[Anthony DeBonis]

I also ran into an issue like while dynamicly creating ColumnSeries() 
this and .push onto the Array worked BUT does not update the Legend.

I have tired resetting leged's DP back to the Chart again but nothing.

Any ideas?
