[flexcoders] Re: ADG/DataGrid prevent render even from firing immediately on propertyChange

2009-05-28 Thread foobone9
You might try enableAutoUpdate and disableAutoUpdate on ICollectionView, not 
sure if that has the desired affect or not.

You could also put custom events in your model objects and manually dispatch 
collection events or call explicitly tell the grid when to update.

 Hi,
 
 Is there any way to tell the ADG to not re-render itself immediately after a 
 propertyChanged even has been fired in the dataProvider? 
 
 I have quite a wide row (lots of cells) and lots of custom logic that updates 
 these dependent properties on each row. i.e. calculated columns. I am doing 
 the calculations at dataProvider level vs labelFunctions. On each set 
 function of one of my cells in the row I raise a propertyChanged event if 
 the value was changed. Tracing through what the ADG is doing I'm finding that 
 its re-rendering each time I raise this event even if its in the same row. Is 
 there any way to tell the ADG to wait a few milliseconds in case another 
 propertyChanged event comes in so as to render once instead of 10 times?
 
 If there is no ADG option what is the best pattern for this assuming I want 
 to do this in my underlying dataprovider objects. Should I raise custom 
 events and fake a itemUpdated once I know there are no more changes? I don't 
 see a clean way to do this however since I never really know when I'm done, 
 and using a timer or something of this nature seems like a major hack.

 Hello,
 
 I've found a serious performance problem on an application written on
 Flex/AIR and using BlazeDS v3.0.0.544. By looking at the logs I can
 see that the server side method (invoked via RemoteObject on the
 client side) never executes in more than two threads at the same time.
 What I mean is that if I fire 5 simultaneous requests to the method
 using RemoteObject from the flex side, and log when the method is
 executed and when it returns, I get something like this:
 
 12:00:00 Method Executed
 12:00:00 Method Executed
 12:00:01 Method Exiting
 12:00:01 Method Executed
 12:00:04 Method Exiting
 12:00:04 Method Executed
 12:00:10 Method Exiting
 12:00:10 Method Executed
 12:00:11 Method Exiting
 12:00:13 Method Exiting
 
 While on the client side I see that all the 5 invocations were fired
 at 12:00:00.
 
 As you can see, the method tend to take a while to run. But the big
 problem is that the log suggest that some queuing is happening on the
 server side, allowing only a maximum of two threads to run in parallel
 at any given time.
 
 I thought it could be a problem with the thread pool of the servlet
 container, but my Tomcat has the following configuration:
 
 Executor name=tomcatThreadPool namePrefix=catalina-exec-
  maxThreads=150 minSpareThreads=4/
 
 So I guessed that the limit could be imposed by BlazeDS itself. But
 haven't found anything on the documentation. Of course, I could be
 wrong and the problem may be something else.
 
 Any ideas?
 
 Thanks,
 Leo

If you're that worried about it have your subcomponents implement a common

 Right -- but don't I have to have those components dispatch their own 
 events in order to pull data from them?  At least, as I understand 
 it, that's the best practice.  What you're telling me to do (if I'm 
 understanding) would tightly couple my form with the components, 
 because I'd be accessing stuff that's supposed to be internal to the

 The way I understand it, I need to get the components to dispatch an

 happen when I click a button on the form -- so I have no idea where 
 to put the Event Listener inside the components to cause them to 
 dispatch their events.  That's where I'm getting confused.

[flexcoders] LCDS Push API Problem

2009-05-12 Thread foobone9
I have a custom assembler, that uses the interface approach, which returns an 
object with a XML property.

When I open two clients and edit one through LCDS the other updates as 
expected. I then have server code which updates the same XML property and calls 
the newer DataServiceTransaction refreshFill(..., null, propertySpecifier) 
and again both clients update to the new XML property value.

However, if I restart both clients and first update via the push API the 
clients DO NOT receive the changed XML property value. If I next update from a 
client, both change and from here on out they will respond to the server 
property change pushes.

It appears to me that something is being registered when an object is updated 
via the assembler that allows it to respond to future server API property 
pushes. I need the push API to work even when no client updates occur.

I should note that when using the push API I am only calling refreshFill with a 
propertySpecifier and am never calling updateItem. I'm doing this because the 
XML value is actually a compound property and changes depending on a given fill 
parameter (it happens to be a date window which I cannot predict from the other 
server code where the push occurs).

Anyone have any thoughts?

[flexcoders] Re: LCDS Upgrade Problems

2009-03-09 Thread foobone9

I have things up and running now (mostly; I was thrown off a bit by 
fetchObjectProperties being moved out of the assembler and into the 
destinations).

The problem was a Hibernate version issue. I was using 3.2.0ga and when I 
popped in the 2.5.4 from the lcds install I was able to get things working.

However; I could only get this far when forcing CBLIB proxies (as noted below) 
by adding aop:config proxy-target-class=true/ to my applicationContext. I 
am using Spring version 2.5.4 (upgrading soon). I upgraded to Java 6 at the 
same time as lcds so I'm wondering if this triggered my proxy errors.

I think if HibernateAssembler were to implement an interface and then on 
HibernateType.java line 237 the interface is cast and used; then jdk proxies 
would work.

Thanks for your time Jeff, I'm sure you must be enormously busy.

 I think this is maybe a problem with the version of hibernate you are using.  
  As part of this simplified configuration feature, the assembler is going 
 into the metadata for hibernate and it seems like the protection-level on 
 that method has changed or is different in the version you are using than the 
 one we compiled against.   We are using 3.2.5 I believe.
 
 You should not need to change any configuration as it is compatible with the 
 old format.   You can remove the metadata section entirely and it will 
 generate the id properties and lazy=true associations for each hibernate 
 association.You can then add assoc tags as needed to change the defaults. 
Any associated destinations which are not defined are not directly 
 accessible via clients though they are created so you don't have to declare 
 all destinations in your model - just the ones you use fill or getItem calls 
 on.
 
 Back to the original error, I guess the other spring configuration you were 
 using was generating some proxy class which did not extend 
 HibernateAssembler?   What version of spring are you using?

 That is correct; I have a destination who's source is a derived object of 
 HibernateAssembler (Just to shutoff autoRefreshFill). My assember is then a 
 bean in the Spring container.
 
 Obviously something is wrong with this bean because if I force CGLib proxies 
 in my container (to avoid the proxy cast error; even though my derived 
 assembler implements an interface) I get the following error:

 The problem was a Hibernate version issue. I was using 3.2.0ga and when I 
 popped in the 2.5.4 from the lcds install I was able to get things working.
 
 However; I could only get this far when forcing CBLIB proxies (as noted 
 below) by adding aop:config proxy-target-class=true/ to my 
 applicationContext. I am using Spring version 2.5.4 (upgrading soon). I 
 upgraded to Java 6 at the same time as lcds so I'm wondering if this 
 triggered my proxy errors.
 
 I think if HibernateAssembler were to implement an interface and then on 
 HibernateType.java line 237 the interface is cast and used; then jdk proxies 
 would work.
 
 Thanks for your time Jeff, I'm sure you must be enormously busy.

  You should not need to change any configuration as it is compatible with

  to declare all destinations in your model - just the ones you use fill or

  Back to the original error, I guess the other spring configuration you were

[flexcoders] Does ASDoc process metadata tags?

2009-02-12 Thread foobone9
I have classes that are marked with [Managed] and [Bindable] tags.
Even though these objects do not extend eventDispatcher I can call
dispatchedEvent, addEventListener, and removeEventListener on them. I
assume this is because the compiler is wrapping the dispatch code
around the object when it sees the metadata tag.

This works fine in Flex Builder but when running ASDoc it serves up
these calls as errors.  Is there a flag I need to set for ASDoc to
process the tags when compiling the objects?





[flexcoders] Data Binding to Paged Data (w/ LCDS 2.5.1)

2009-01-15 Thread foobone9

Does anyone have any experience applying watch bindings to items that
are paged and throw IPEs?

I have a managed object that has relationships to other managed
objects. I want to perform operations on the related items when they
are pulled client side (from DGs or other view controls) and any time
they change (from this client or another); so in the constructor I have:

ChangeWatcher.watch(this, [auxUserData, techMinInc],
onTechMinIncChange);

Where *this is a managed object and techMinInc is a property on the
related auxUserData managed object.

This throws an IPE from ConcreteDataService and it's not catchable here.

Must I first finger auxUserData, catch and handle the IPE before
applying the watch? Or does anyone have a best practice approach to
this type of problem.

but when I deploy the app I don't want problems downstream from this...

I can't find any mention of DSprevMessageId on the internets.  I

[flexcoders] lcds / fds release collection problem

2008-03-24 Thread foobone9
I have a flex 2 application where you can open tabs (of canvases) that
display and edit managed data using lcds 2.5.1. The retrieved data is
somewhat encapsulated to the UI tab so when the tab is closed I want
to release the data to minimize the client memory footprint and data
management overhead. 

The data is retrieved using fill() so to release I use (my
DataService).releaseCollection(serviceArray). This synchronous call
blocks for a long time and greatly increases the memory footprint. 

As an example a service array with a length of 127 objects took 48
seconds and actually increased 202,094 bytes just to release. 

The objects in the service array have several lazy associations; some
of which have been accessed; some of which have not (based on paging
from my DataGrid). Could there be a circular referencing problem?

I am probably doing something obviously wrong but I can't figure it
out and would appreciate any advice.



[flexcoders] Re: lcds / fds release collection problem

2008-03-24 Thread foobone9

Unfortunately I already tried releaseCollection(.., true); and the
results were the same. In my test scenarios there are no other
references to the data outside the collection passed to
releaseCollection. Beyond my test scenarios it would be possible to
have multiple references in which case I would want the copies to be
made and data maintained.

Is it possible that my object's lazy relationships are causing
excessive graph traversal during the release? If this is the case I'm
wondering if I can test that by changing that relationship information
in the data management configuration file even though the
relationships still exist in my DB without causing any other
unintended consequences.

 Try calling releaseCollection(.., true);
 
  
 
 If you are releasing a collection which has an object which is still
 referenced on that client, DMS makes a copy of the instance.  This is so
 that your collection does not have any managed objects after the release
 call   If you pass in the true as the second param it won't make
 that copy but instead will clear the collection.  I have wondered if we
 need a way to release the reference but leave the collection
 unchanged... let me know if you think that would help in this case.

 The data is retrieved using fill() so to release I use (my
 DataService).releaseCollection(serviceArray). This synchronous call
 blocks for a long time and greatly increases the memory footprint. 
 
 As an example a service array with a length of 127 objects took 48
 seconds and actually increased 202,094 bytes just to release. 
 
 The objects in the service array have several lazy associations; some
 of which have been accessed; some of which have not (based on paging
 from my DataGrid). Could there be a circular referencing problem?
 
 I am probably doing something obviously wrong but I can't figure it
 out and would appreciate any advice.





[flexcoders] Re: Events in AS3 gives Compile Error 1119

2008-01-16 Thread foobone9

 1.)I have a customDataGrid object, which has metadata tag: 
[Event(name=menuClick,type=mx.events.MenuEvent)]
 

Use the string name:

this.mycustomdg.addEventListner(menuClick, handleMenuEvent);

OR 

Create the static string MENU_CLICK somewhere and call it with that.



[flexcoders] Possible Data Service - Hibernate Assembler bug

2008-01-11 Thread foobone9
I have two different apps A  B. On startup both use the same DS fill
method (and same fill parameters) to login and authenticate a user.
The fill returns a managed User object (the logged in user). Both
applications work fine on their own. However, I am having the
following problem:

I start application A - everything works OK
I start application B - everything work OK (All data is loaded fine)
I terminate application B. - OK
I start application B again and get the following stack trace:

I am guessing that some Hibernate proxies that the first run of
application B are brought into DS and cached. It then appears that
these are not cleaned up or released when the application B session is
invalidated (must have something to do with application A still being
open). Then when application B is restarted it tries to used the
previously cached proxy but that session (and indeed the whole client
who first requested it) has ended.

All of my relationships or lazily loaded. The object that the initial
fill returns does not cause this problem. It is generated when
accessing relationships off that graph object (but not in the midst of
a getItem call).

I have tried many code changes to work around this but none have
worked (including using a unique ID in the fill parameters). The fact
that the apps work fine on their own tell me that I am using (at least
partially) the technology correctly.

Does anyone have any insight into what might be going on?



[flexcoders] Re: layout / scrolling issues

2007-12-26 Thread foobone9
I appreciate your posting as I was having the same (or a very similar)
problem. 

I found a solution for my problems in this thread:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/84056

By setting my HBox's minWidth=0 I got the scrollbars as I wanted.
Putting the HBox inside of a canvas worked but there is no reason to
drag around that extra baggage. 

Try it out.

Cheers.

 If anyone else has this issues I've foudn the solution to the first
item.
 the problem was that a VBox set to height=100% would stretch it's
 container which would force scroll bars to pup up in unexpected places.
 
 The way to get round this is to put the VBox inside a canvas. If you set
 both to height=100% the canvas behaves and does not stretch it's
parent,
 the VBox then fits within the canvas and the canvas scrolls the VBox
 
 Hopefully someone will find that useful.
 





[flexcoders] Re: routeMessageToService and routeMessageToClient

2007-10-29 Thread foobone9

A comment was added to the live docs example:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/lcds/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=messaging_config_5.html#258500

that corrects this. 

MessageService msgService = (MessageService)service;

Should be:

MessageService msgService = (MessageService)getDestination().getService();

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tom Bray [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 I've made a little bit of progress on this front.  As suggested by
an Adobe
 engineer, I created a custom ServiceAdapter that overrides invoke()
like so:
 
 import flex.messaging.messages.CommandMessage;
 import flex.messaging.messages.Message;
 import flex.messaging.services.MessageService;
 import flex.messaging.services.ServiceAdapter;
 
 public class SimpleCustomAdapter extends ServiceAdapter {
 
 @Override
 public Object invoke(Message message)
 {
 MessageService msgService = (MessageService)service;
 System.out.println(  +
message.getBody().toString() );
 msgService.pushMessageToClients(message, true);
 return null;
 }
 
 Now, the alternate signature for pushMessageToClients accepts a Set of
 clientIDs as the first parameter.  This is what you would use to send a
 message to a specific client.  Now, the next question is how do I
know which
 clients are subscribed to this destination?  I think I need to manage
 subscriptions to the destination so I can keep track of the
clientIDs, but
 the docs are vague about how to do that.
 
 Here's what my messaging-config.xml looks like:
 
 ...
 adapters
...
 adapter-definition id=custom
class=test.SimpleCustomAdapter/
 ...
 /adapters
 
destination id=customDest
 
 adapter ref=custom /
 
 /destination
 ...

  Both methods, routeMessageToService and routeMessageToClient, are

[flexcoders] LCDS out of range sequence and hibernate proxy errors

2007-10-26 Thread foobone9
Has anyone seen the following error:

[Flex] Attempt to subscribe to out of range sequence: 4 clientId:
4AE7.

I'm getting a boatload of these (w/ different seq numbers and client
IDs) when there are multiple browsers connected to my server and I start
recycling the browsers.

I'm using LCDS 2.5.1, one RTMP channel with many destinations, and the
hibernate assembler.

It acts like something isn't being cleaned up when a previous client
disconnects.

Often times after a handful of these come out I get the following error:

I understand Hibernate lazy initialization problems but I'm not
explicitly accessing a relationship that isn't loaded.  Could these two
errors be related with some kind of cleanup/termination situation?

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
