[flexcoders] how common is Flex and Rails together?

2011-09-17 Thread Chris Downey
Hi,

I'm just wondering if there is anybody who is actively working on a project
or knows of projects where Flex and Rails are used together.  Looking
online, I see a burst of blogs between 2007-2009 but then it quickly
fizzles.  Any thoughts about this?  Theoretically, it seems to be an
interesting and useful fit, but when I start considering the details of
making it work... I'm no longer so sure.

Thanks,


Chris

Ooops.  By pragmatically I meant programmatically

 If I were in your shoes, the next thing I'd do is to figure out a way to
 know the exact value that Access is getting.  Make no assumptions.  Consider
 all the layers that single value is getting passed through.  Can you send
 the value from CF to an Access macro?  What I'm getting at is, if this were
 my problem and since I'm using SQL Server, I'd send the value to a stored
 procedure where I could examine and test it.  With Access, what options do
 you have to pragmatically examine and test values sent from Cold Fusion?

 Chris Downey you said you do this all the time, care to show how exaclty
 you do it using the first example of itemWorking, or you can show how to
 directly send the checkbox.selected value to the data access object layer
 (via your RemoteObject). please this would be very helpful.

For this problem to be solved, I think you need to find out what value is
getting to Access.  Something is reaching Access.   What is it?

 this is what i have tried to do following your previous example...

 private var poolSelected: Boolean = false;

 public function poolselected():void{
 if(pool.selected == true){
 poolSelected = 1;
 }

 else{
 poolSelected = 0;
 }
 }

 private function insertHandler():void{
 listManager.listProperty(poolSelected);

 mx:RemoteObject id=listManager destination=ColdFusion
 source=App.src.cfcs.propertyMaintenance showBusyCursor=true

 mx:method name=listProperty result=handleStringResult(event)
 fault=mx.controls.Alert.show(event.fault.faultString)/
 /mx:RemoteObject

 mx:CheckBox label=Pool id=pool color=#99 width=160
 fontSize=12 click=poolselected()/

Is your app successfully putting any data into the database now, or is this
the first attempt to get it working?

Re: [flexcoders] how to insert checkbox value into database

2009-11-12 Thread Chris Downey
Hi.  I do that all the time (J2EE app server, SQL Server database)

The checkbox is either selected or not (boolean).  Lets say the checkbox is
for is the item working?

if (itemIsWorking.selected == true) then itemWorking = 1
else itemWorking = 0

Put the itemWorking value into the database column (which should obviously
be a number datatype)

For this approach, your database and app server don't matter at all.
However, I'm thinking a better way would be since you are using an app
server, just send the checkbox.selected value directly to the data access
object layer (via your RemoteObject).  Thats a great place to isolate the
translation from true/false to 1/0
