We've done the same thing for now - tell the user landscape is best.
Maybe Flex 3 will add this ability.

[flexcoders] Re: coordiates of items in a datagrid

2007-06-07 Thread Matt Maher

Alex, thanks so much! Can you tell me a bit more? I have looked 
through the debugger and seen the listItems but I cannot seem to 
figure out how to get reference to that list during runtime...

Is this what subclassing will do for me? How can I do that?

Thanks again for at least letting me know it's even POSSIBLE though.

[flexcoders] applying filters to assets to use as icon in components

How do you applying filter to assets to use as icon in components?

I want to apply a shadow to an image and than use it as icon for a button.

[Embed(source=myIcon.gif)]
[Bindable]

Could some one please help me with this?

[flexcoders] Parameter passing !! I am shocked

2007-06-07 Thread Ravi Kumar Gummadi


Hi all

How does flex handle parameter passing, as I understand, it is by Pass
by reference. But I was having some memory leaks and playing around a
few tweaks and the following snippet completely took me by surprise.

// CODE START

script

public var obj:Object;

createObject(){

obj = {test:1234,test2:5678};
}

checkObject(objParam:Object){
trace(objParam);
}

deleteObject(objParam:Object){
objParam = null; // I tried objParam = undefined as well
}

/script

mx:Button id=create click=createObject() /
mx:Button id=check click=checkObject(obj) /
mx:Button id=delete click=deleteObject(obj) /
 
// END 

Now 1. I created the object by click on create
2. Then check for the existence of it (Traces [object object].. This
is fine)
3. Then clicked delete. 
4. Then again click on check... (Traces [object] [object]
! But since its passed by reference it should be
NULL)


Somewhere I read that it setting to NULL changes the reference count,
does that mean in each of my function I need to set all the params to
null at the end of it so that refercne count is reduced and raady for
garbage collection!! ( That doesn't quite a sense !!)

 I am using Eclipse with the Flex Builder plug-in.  If I create a new

 resource bundle, what I see in the editor is
 @Resource(key=nameLabel, bundle=bundleName) and not Name. 
 This is not a big deal for single languages, but when designing for
 multiple languages it would be nice to see Name and not
 @Resource  This way I can review the layout and (hopefully)
 switch between languages without having to build  launch multiple

[flexcoders] fullscreen question

2007-06-07 Thread Bogdan BALAJ

Hi,

we are looking to build a standalone app that will run in full screen.
To go to fullscreen on start is easy, the only problem that I have is
that when the user is pressing ESC, the player is getting back to it's
window size. 

This might be easy also to solve with an addEventListener function.
However, all of my tries are not succesfull with this particular issue. 

Anyone have managed to solved it? Can you share a working example for
this issue?

Thank you,

[flexcoders] 2 quick chart questions

2007-06-07 Thread cruci_nz

Hi there, I just have 2 quick chart questions.

1) I read in the docs that with a line chart You can use an icon or
symbol to represent each data point along the line, or show a simple
line with no icons. - but I can't find any information about how to
add  the icon/symbol to the line. Anyone point me in the right direction?

2) I have a single line chart that I am feeding different data to with
state changes, however there is (at least) one chart that I don't want
to start from 0. I know I can do mx:LinearAxis baseAtZero=false /,
but I don't understand how to change that with a mx:SetProperty tag
like I'm changing other things.

Hi,

I am trying to use the AS2 SWF created from pdf2swf tool and use it in
flex. All I want is to be able to flip through the SWF frames in flex.
I am using LocalConnection technique for this method since Flex has
some problems with Flash8 SWFs. I have defined nextFrame within
LocalConnection function in the AS2 file . Then I am calling the
function from AS3 file again using LocalConnection. But when I run
this, I dont get the display. I am using the Firefox browser.

Has anybody here tried something like this.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Java, Where to Start?

2007-06-07 Thread simonjpalmer

Sun has a very comprehensive online documentation of the Java language.  

This is a good book if you are a seasoned developer and just wanting
to pick up Java Java In A Nutshell by David Flanagan, O'Reilly.  

Another really good book is Just Java 2 by Peter van der Linden, Sun
Microsystems Press.  I learnt Java from these (C++ background) and I
recommend both.

There aren't really variations of Java itself, so a basic grounding in
the language is something that you can use whatever you end up doing.
 However there are lots of design and coding patterns around Java
which give high productivity, especially when using Java to write
server software, which is probably what you mean by Java as it relates
to Flex.  Java doesn't specifically relate to flex or vice versa, but
there is middleware which serialises between Java and ActionScript,
such as FDS.

On the server you will need to look at EJB and J2EE and I would
recommend Spring, although it takes a bit of getting your head around,
and Hibernate if you are persisting your data relationally.  These are
all frameworks for coding which, with supporting packages from 3rd
parties, give a high degree of productivity in writing scalable Java
servers.  It is truly amazing how much fee code there is available.

You'll probably wind up with Eclipse as an IDE too, so it is worth
familiarising yourself with that.  Don't expect the Microsoft IDE, but
it is pretty good all the same.

I'm sure lots of people will comment, but i hope that gives you some
first pointers of what to google.

Good luck

objParam is not the same reference to created object as obj. Whenever you
set objParam to null it becomes null (try checking it out in your

obj for garbage collection you should set obj to null.

Call that from both onClick() and onInitApp().

[flexcoders] Re: ArrayCollection not working? Pulling out my HAIR!!!

2007-06-07 Thread Jason Ervin

If I can just get my xml into an array that would be great. I guess I
am going to have to skip ArrayUtil and hand code this as before with
proxyObject. Sure wish Adobe would update the arrayutil in Flex 3, or
better yet make importing data a drag and drop operation. Would make
this much simpiliar. Dragging in certain nodes from XML into an array
would ease the pain.

 Well I am using one data source via the singleton pattern as I have

 I think it would be easier with an array than xml. Do you have an

for each (lb in lbCanali)
{
lb.enabled = true

obj.enabled = false;

mx:LinkButton id=lbCanali label={rCanali.currentItem.title} 
width=100% textAlign=left click=onClickCanali

Re: [flexcoders] Parameter passing !! I am shocked

2007-06-07 Thread Jeffry Houser


  I think you missed his point.

  He sent in obj as a parameter to a function.  So objParam should be a 
reference to obj; and nulling one should definitely null the other.

  I do notice that the functions in the example are not declared as 
functions with the public function keywords.  Could that be a 
contributing factor to the problem?

Roman Protsiuk wrote:
 
 
 objParam is not the same reference to created object as obj. Whenever 
 you set objParam to null it becomes null (try checking it out in your 
 deleteObject method). But who said the obj should become null? To 
 prepare obj for garbage collection you should set obj to null.

 Hi all
 
 How does flex handle parameter passing, as I understand, it is by Pass

 script
 
 public var obj:Object;
 
 createObject(){
 
 obj = {test:1234,test2:5678};
 }
 
 checkObject(objParam:Object){

 deleteObject(objParam:Object){
 objParam = null; // I tried objParam = undefined as well

 /script
 
 mx:Button id=create click=createObject() /
 mx:Button id=check click=checkObject(obj) /
 mx:Button id=delete click=deleteObject(obj) /
 
 // END
 
 Now 1. I created the object by click on create
 2. Then check for the existence of it (Traces [object object].. This
 is fine)
 3. Then clicked delete.
 4. Then again click on check... (Traces [object] [object]
 ! But since its passed by reference it should be
 NULL)
 
 Somewhere I read that it setting to NULL changes the reference count,
 does that mean in each of my function I need to set all the params to
 null at the end of it so that refercne count is reduced and raady for
 garbage collection!! ( That doesn't quite a sense !!)

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Data Services consumes messages, but no delivery to Consumer in application

2007-06-07 Thread Manohar Madhusudan Joshi


Have you tried changing network properties like throttle-inbound and
throttle-outbound ?

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

 Our backend application is pumping a large number of messages through
an ActiveMQ
 queue (upwards of 6,000 typically) to our frontend application (Flex
based) through Flex
 Data Services.

 We are using Jconsole to track the number of messages that go in to
the queue, and the
 number of messages that get pulled off of the queue. In our testing,
100% of the time Flex
 Data Services consumes 100% of the messages off of the queue. Roughly
30% of the time
 however, the Flex application's Consumer receives only a small portion
of the total
 messages from FDS (the number varies, but it is usually around 5-10%
of the total
 messages).

 We have looked through the FDS documentation extensively, and added
all appropriate
 settings to both our messaging-config.xml and our services-config,
here are some
 excerpts of those settings:

 Our queue as defined in messaging-config.xml:

 destination id=MQ1
 adapter ref=jms /
 properties
 network
 session-timeout0/session-timeout
 /network
 jms
 destination-typeQueue/destination-type
 message-typejavax.jms.TextMessage/message-type

 message-time-to-live0/message-time-to-live
 durabletrue/durable
 /server
 /properties
 channels
 channel ref=my-rtmp /
 /channels
 /destination

 As you can see, we are setting generous values for our max-cache-size
(number of
 messages to cache), and making sure that our messages live forever on
the queue, and we
 are also ensuring delivery by setting their durable setting to true.
We also ensure that our
 consumers never automatically disconnect from the queue
(session-timeout = 0).

 Our RTMP channel definition in services-config.xml:

 channel-definition id=my-rtmp
class=mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel
 endpoint uri=rtmp://{server.name}:443
 class=flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint/
 properties
 idle-timeout-minutes720/idle-timeout-minutes
 client-to-server-maxbps1K/client-to-server-maxbps
 server-to-client-maxbps1K/server-to-client-maxbps
 accept-backlog10/accept-backlog
 /properties
 /channel-definition

 Again, we are setting generous values for all of our values here to
ensure delivery of
 messages.

 We had initially thought that perhaps this was based on the UDP
protocol and packets
 were getting dropped (for whatever reason). After some research, we
are led to believe
 that RTMP (the protocol of which these messages are transferred over)
is based on TCP,
 which would mean that there shouldn't be any dropping of packets. We
have pretty much
 ruled this out as a possible problem.

 Does anybody have any experience with these types of issues? Or any
thoughts on what
 else we might look at for settings, optimization, etc?

 Help for any Adobe guys or general gurus in Flex Data Services would
be much
 appreciated.

 Thanks for your time,

 Brian

[flexcoders] Re: fullscreen question

2007-06-07 Thread arpitmathur_80

I think there may not be an option to alter that behavior since adobe
is worried that people may use the feature to take away the user's
navigation and ability to move out of the experience. So the esc key
is permanently tied to escaping the fullscreen experience, as far as I
know.

[flexcoders] Re: ASDoc on a Mac

2007-06-07 Thread joshbuhler

I know it's a belated answer, but I was having the same problem until about 10 
minutes 
ago on my MacBook Pro. However, ASDoc was working fine on my PowerMac. Until 
recently, I've been using Xcode  the Flex SDK on the PowerMac - so I had the 
SDK 
installed at:

/Developer/SDKs/Flex

I also have a path to the SDK in my .bash_profile

Just in some light testing, whenever I run ASDoc from the location above, it 
works just 
fine. But if I run it from the location it's installed with Flex Builder in my 
Applications 
folder, I get the same java.lang.NoClass error.

Kindof a pain to install the Flex SDK again in a different location, but it 
looks like one of 
the easiest fixes I've found so far. Hopefully FB3 can make using ASDoc a 
little more easier 
for us.

How did you get the reading of the orientation to work?
print orientation is a property of PrintJob, and not FlexPrintJob.
I have a page designed in a vbox component, which contains my form to 
be printed.
PrintJob uses a sprite.  The LiveDocs show to do something like:
var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob
if (pj.start() != true) {
return;
}
if (pj.orientation != PrintJobOrientation.LANDSCAPE)
 Alert.show(Choose Landscape, Error, Alert.OK);
 return;

I can't do this using FlexPrintJob

RE: [flexcoders]Faking an XMLRPC call

2007-06-07 Thread Peter Farland

I'd check with an HTTP sniffer to see just what exactly is being sent on
the wire for the body of the request.
 
There are two known issues with the Flash Player XML type that
HTTPService does not work around correctly in 2.0. The scenario is that
if an XML value is provided as the body of a POST and that value has
only empty, simple content (i.e. no child elements, just the empty
string), then because toString() is called on the value when serializing
it, the first known issue is hit where by the root elements are
unwrapped and only the simple content is sent, i.e. the empty string.
The second issue is that if you try to send no content with POST, the
underlying URLLoader changes this back to GET.
 
The reason I suggest using an HTTP sniffer is perhaps while you think
you've provided a correct mx:request, perhaps it's not being actually
sent as such? How are you calling send() on the HTTP service?

[flexcoders] Re: Parameter passing !! I am shocked

2007-06-07 Thread wpfeiffe

When it is said that the object is passed by reference versus passed
by value, what is being implied is that a copy of the object is NOT
being sent, but a reference instead is sent.  The reference itself is
STILL contained within a variable scoped to the method (the
parameter).  Therefore, nulling out the reference from within
deleteObject() has no effect on the obj var which still contains a
reference to the actual object.  

The reference count should make sense if you look at it like this: 

When you create the object and assign it to the obj var, you have a
reference count of 1.  When you pass the object into the
deleteObject() method, you now have a NEW reference (the parameter),
so your reference count is now 2.  When you null out the parameter,
your reference count goes back down to 1 (the obj var is still in
scope and still has a reference).  Even if you didn't null out the
parameter, the reference count would go back down to 1 when the
deleteObject() method ends and the parameter goes out of scope.

  2. Then check for the existence of it (Traces [object
object].. This
  is fine)
  3. Then clicked delete.
  4. Then again click on check... (Traces [object] [object]

  does that mean in each of my function I need to set all the

Re: [flexcoders] Modify plain text without losing html


I wouldn't parse the html, but instead I'd let the TextField handle it:

First, if you don't know how to access the TextField of a text control, you
can read up on it here http://nondocs.blogspot.com/2007/05/faqtext.html.
Second, use TextField.replaceText() to alter the text property.  This will
keep the text formating of the rest of the text in place.  (I think the new
text should be in the format of TextField.defaultTextFormat.)

I think that should accomplish what you want.

Subject: [flexcoders] PDF in Flex

Hi,

are there any plans to display PDF-documents directly in a future version of
the flash-player. It should be possible for the flash-player to detect an
installed acrobat reader on the client machine and use it for rendering. 

This would helps us a lot to improve the user experience of our application.

Thanks,

Harald

Not really true.

I think it is more helpful to think of it this way (most popular
languages use this exact same design):

1. When a parameter is passed to a function or method call, it is
ALWAYS pass-by-value (i.e., makes a copy of it local to the function).
 But the thing being passed/copied is not the actual object itself,
but rather, a pointer or reference to an object.

2. Therefore, if you pass a reference to an object to a function or
method as a parameter, you have a COPY of the reference, but both your
in-function copy AND your out-of-function original both point to the
same object out there on the heap.

3. Therefore, if you set your parameter reference to null, you're
nulling out your local copy of the reference.  But the reference from
outside of the function still exists, and is not set to null (because
only the COPY was set to null).  Therefore, the object will not
magically disappear.

To summarize, you can't set an object to null in the first place.
You can only set references to objects to null.  Therefore, if you
have a reference to object A outside of your function, and a reference
to object A inside of your function, setting one to null does not mean
the other is set to null.

It's all pass by value, just keep in mind it's the REFERENCES that are
getting passed by value (i.e., copied), not the objects themselves.

Re: [flexcoders] Parameter passing !! I am shocked


I'm not really familiar with technical specifications on how AS manages
argument references. However, I believe this has more to do with OO Paradigm
than with AS.

Let's say this code is in a myClass Class. This makes 'obj' a myClass
instance variable. This makes the object referenced by 'obj' accesible by
every method for every myClass instance.

Since creteObject(), checkObject() and deleteObject() are myClass' instance
methods, they can use this variable.

BUT, in the code you posted, checkObject() and deleteObject() each have a
parameter, and (I understand) AS handles parameters by creating a local
variable for the method; it's scope is the method and not the class. This
makes the code:

deleteObject(objParam:Object){
objParam = null;
}

equivalent to:

deleteObject(){
var objParam : Object;
objParam = obj;
objParam = null;
}

This is, exactly as it reads:
1) create an Object-type variable called objParam.
2) make objParam refer to the object referenced by instance variable called
'obj'.
3) make objParam refer to the null object.

As can be seen, the reference to 'obj' is never affected. And the object
itself is not GC'ed because it is still being referenced-to by obj instance
variable.

The proper approach here would be to make obj refer to null.

Hope it helped :)

Guido.

 Hi all

 How does flex handle parameter passing, as I understand, it is by Pass

 checkObject(objParam:Object){

 /script

 mx:Button id=create click=createObject() /

 // END

 Now 1. I created the object by click on create
 2. Then check for the existence of it (Traces [object object].. This
 is fine)
 3. Then clicked delete.
 4. Then again click on check... (Traces [object] [object]
 ! But since its passed by reference it should be
 NULL)

 Somewhere I read that it setting to NULL changes the reference count,
 does that mean in each of my function I need to set all the params to
 null at the end of it so that refercne count is reduced and raady for
 garbage collection!! ( That doesn't quite a sense !!)

[flexcoders] Flex Component Kit Issue: mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject marked as extern

2007-06-07 Thread Jurgen Beck

I am getting an error in a large Flex project when trying to use a SWC 
that was produced with the Flex Component Kit in Flash CS3:

Inconsistant linkage in DownloadProgress.swc(mx/core/IFlexDisplayObject) 
- 'mx.core:IFlexDisplayObject' is marked as extern, but 
'mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject' is not.

Unless I missed something, adding the SWC to the project should be 
pretty straight forward. I have set up a small test application where I 
am not getting the error.

Anyone run into this issue?

Thanks,

Jurgen

[flexcoders] ASDoc for MXML components?

2007-06-07 Thread borekbe

Hi all

Is there a way to generate API documentation from MXML components? So
far, I thought that MXML and ActionScript are just different ways to
express the same things but if I can't generate documentation, this
practically means that I can't use MXML for component development at
all. I hope it's not the case because MXML is much more suitable for
certain scenarios...

Thanks,

 there is middleware which serialises between Java and ActionScript,

 On the server you will need to look at EJB and J2EE and I would
 recommend Spring, although it takes a bit of getting your head around,
 and Hibernate if you are persisting your data relationally.  These are
 all frameworks for coding which, with supporting packages from 3rd

 You'll probably wind up with Eclipse as an IDE too, so it is worth

However, I still run into problems where certain breakpoints getting

there definitely IS.  In this one file, it happens on any breakpoints past
the 309th line of the file.  Whitespace doesn't change it, but if I compress
something like:

if (...)
{
  do something;
}
else
{
  do something else;
}

into

  if () { do something } else { do something else }

then it moves from the 309th line to a later line.  It also doesn't matter
which code is first.  I can rearrange it so that the same code that started
losing breakpoints is earlier than 309, and it will regain breakpoints.

Unfortunately, i don't have a small, reproducible example or I would send
it in.  I guess I'm just hoping some adobe folks will go Yep, I know what
that is.  It should be fixed in the next patch.

[flexcoders] Handling Special Characters in XML


How do I handle whitespace (or other special characters) in the name of an

inserting hex symbols into the tag name.  Is there any functionality in Flex
that does this automatically?

RE: [flexcoders] ASDoc for MXML components?

2007-06-07 Thread Stephen Gilson

There is only limited support in ASDoc for MXML files. 
 
- All ActionScript entities defined in an mx:Script block, such as
properties and methods, appear in the output. Items defined in MXML tags
do not appear in the ASDoc output. 

- You can only insert an ASDoc comment in an mx:Script block of an
MXML file. 

- The superclass corresponds to the first tag in the MXML file. For an
application file, that tag is the mx:Application tag and therefore an
MXML application file appears in the ASDoc output as a subclass of the
Application class.

Hi all

Is there a way to generate API documentation from MXML components? So
far, I thought that MXML and ActionScript are just different ways to
express the same things but if I can't generate documentation, this
practically means that I can't use MXML for component development at
all. I hope it's not the case because MXML is much more suitable for
certain scenarios...

Thank you very much for all the info. I think the key word I was
looking for was EJB. Is this what I will develop in order to start
using Flex Data Services?

Any suggestions on the server software needed to run EJB  J2EE? Again
I am moving from a Microsoft, .net, IIS environment so I am completly
new to all this. Thanks

 Sun has a very comprehensive online documentation of the Java
language.  
 
 This is a good book if you are a seasoned developer and just wanting
 to pick up Java Java In A Nutshell by David Flanagan, O'Reilly.  
 
 Another really good book is Just Java 2 by Peter van der Linden, Sun
 Microsystems Press.  I learnt Java from these (C++ background) and I
 recommend both.
 
 There aren't really variations of Java itself, so a basic grounding in
 the language is something that you can use whatever you end up doing.
  However there are lots of design and coding patterns around Java
 which give high productivity, especially when using Java to write
 server software, which is probably what you mean by Java as it relates
 to Flex.  Java doesn't specifically relate to flex or vice versa, but
 there is middleware which serialises between Java and ActionScript,
 such as FDS.
 
 On the server you will need to look at EJB and J2EE and I would
 recommend Spring, although it takes a bit of getting your head around,
 and Hibernate if you are persisting your data relationally.  These are
 all frameworks for coding which, with supporting packages from 3rd
 parties, give a high degree of productivity in writing scalable Java
 servers.  It is truly amazing how much fee code there is available.
 
 You'll probably wind up with Eclipse as an IDE too, so it is worth
 familiarising yourself with that.  Don't expect the Microsoft IDE, but
 it is pretty good all the same.
 
 I'm sure lots of people will comment, but i hope that gives you some
 first pointers of what to google.
 
 Good luck

[flexcoders] Como pasar parametro XMLListCollection por HTTPService ?

2007-06-07 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry, but I can't speak English a little., and I have a problem with 
HTTPService and XMLListCollection.


Estimados Listeros:

Necesito pasar un parámetro XMLListCollection por HTTPService a una JSP 
o Servlet.


He utilizado un DataGrid, para el manejo de la información, y luego 
necesito pasar los nuevos datos (XMLListCollection id=XML_Grupos) del 
DataGrid a un Servlet o JSP.


mx:XMLListCollection id=*XML_Grupos* ./ // Tiene los datos del 
DataGrid.


mx:HTTPService id=serviceJSP url=Diagrama.jsp resultFormat=e4x 
showBusyCursor=true
   fault=Alert.show(event.fault.faultString), 'Error' 
result=Alert.show(event.toString())

   mx:request
   quienflex/quien
   Grupos*{XML_Grupos}*/Grupos
   /mx:request
/mx:HTTPService

Por medio de un Button envío los datos *serviceJSP.send()

*El parametro quien lo recibo sin ningún problema en la JSP,
JSP:...
request.getParameter(quien);

Pero el parametro Grupos{XML_Grupos}/Grupos, no lo puedo recibir, ni 
trabajar con los datos.

JSP:
String[] Grupos=request.getParameterValues(Grupos);

La comunicacion con la JSP me da OK., pero el Array String[] Grupos en 
la JSP no contiene la información enviada por Flex.


Necesito hacerlo por HTTPService, dado que no deseo utilizar FDS por 
motivos de licencia, dado que el cliente tiene un Servidor con 2 
Procesadores, y por lo tanto debería de adquirir FDS.


Recurro a Uds. dado que en la documentación de Adobe (devguide.PDF) no 
encontre nada sobre esto.


Muchas Gracias por todo.

 Hi all

Is there a way to generate API documentation from MXML components? So
far, I thought that MXML and ActionScript are just different ways to
express the same things but if I can't generate documentation, this
practically means that I can't use MXML for component development at
all. I hope it's not the case because MXML is much more suitable for
certain scenarios...

Thanks,

I doubt that adding PDF support to Flex would come at such an expense.

Apollo requires Adobe Reader for PDF rendering which does all the heavy lifting.

Well, libpoppler and libpoppler-qt (PDF rendering library's for 'nix) come in 
at 1.5meg each, but they probably don't support most of what can be found in 
more recent PDFs, and certainly aren't GUIs.
It'd also require Adobe making an up to date PDF client for 'nix. Can't see 
that coming anytime soon (it's been on v7 for about forever).

I'll just echo that I see the same thing (again only in .as files 
included by script tags).

For me it's usually after line 500 or so, but no amount of cleaning 
the project or closing reopening Flex fixes it for me. So I do lots 
of moving functions to where I can debug them! :-)

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Java, Where to Start?

2007-06-07 Thread Robert Cadena

Hi Aaron,

You don't need EJB or J2EE to start with FDS. In fact, I would
recommend trying familiarize yourself with plain FDS before attempting
to integrate with enterprise java.

What you do need is a servlet container. Typically tomcat. FDS comes
with a lite version of another servlet container called jrun. you could
start with that.

you could also try out christophe coenraets Tomcat Test Drive Server;
it has all the stuff you need to get started:

http://coenraets.org/blog/2007/01/flex-test-drive-server-for-java-developers-tomcat-based/

his tutorials are really worthwhile too.

Get started with a very simple RemoteObject application talking with a
Flex front end. If you have no java experience, start off without FDS
and just get the feel for how to develop, package, and deploy simple
java apps.

I second simonjpalmer's suggestion to use Eclipse: It's free, it's easy,
it can run the Flex Builder as a Plug-in, and it supports lots of tools
that make your java life easier: ant, refactoring, etc.

best of luck.

You'll probably wind up with Eclipse as an IDE too, so it is worth

it is pretty good all the same.

I think there are a lot of people who don't get that the Flex 
application doesn't need to take up the whole screen.  It, like Flash, 
can just be a part of the page and can communicate with other bits on 
the page.  One Flex app can even talk to another on the page.  With that 
in mind I don't think an HTML renderer is important.  I also think that 
the RTE is fine, if you need complex HTML then you should be coding it 
and not using a WYSIWYG anyway.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Java, Where to Start?

2007-06-07 Thread Peter Farland

I would skip EJB for now. You don't need to know about EJB to use FDS
(note FDS was recently re-branded as LiveCycle Data Services ES 2.5
which is the latest release available).
 
The concepts behind web apps in .NET are very close to the concepts of
J2EE. There should be tons of web postings comparing J2EE to .NET.
 
I'd start by getting familiar with simple J2EE deployments, that is
start with a web application archive (WAR). These are essentially zip
files that can be deployed on a J2EE server (like JBoss, or simply
Tomcat). Get a feel for how the configuration looks under the /WEB-INF
directory, how Servlets (and JSP pages) can handle HTTP GET/POST
requests to produce dynamic web apps, go over the basic parts of the
web.xml configuration file, work out how classes are found in the
classpath, such as /WEB-INF/lib for *.jar libraries and /WEB-INF/classes
for loose *.class files. Read up on web application contexts and how the
WAR context path delineate the root URL of the application.
 
You can use Flex's RemoteObject to call a plain old Java object, or use
Producers/Consumers for real-time messaging to create publish/subscribe
applications, or use DataService to get comprehensive management of
distributed data graphs to build powerful collaborative
applications/dashboards etc.
