RE: [flexcoders] Blazeds messaging from java to java
I think it would be easier to use JMS instead.

How do I send my channel (which I've already set up and defined in the messaging-config file) a message and also hear back from the same channel? I can create messages like this: String clientID = UUIDUtils.createUUID(); AsyncMessage message = new AsyncMessage(); message.setDestination(airBridge); message.setClientId(clientID); message.setMessageId(UUIDUtils.createUUID()); message.setTimestamp(System.currentTimeMillis()); // this header info is not currently being used TreeMap String, StringhMap = new TreeMapString, String(); hMap.put(secureID, general); hMap.put(reportID, repID); message.setHeaders(hMap); // but I can't create this because I am not a ServiceAdaptor- I don't have the // getDestination() method. MessageService service = (MessageService)getDestination().getService(); // And even if I could get the service, how do I send it to a specific channel? // And if I send a message how do I hear back from the channel? The message needs to get sent from a servlet to the ServiceAdapter (messaging channel) which will in turn propagate that out to other apps, get a result and send confirmation that the process completed successfully back to the servlet. How can this be done? inline: image001.jpginline: image002.jpg

Yeah. Turns out that the folks at Stack Overflow didn't like the idea of the
riacowboy tag. So you can still ask the question with sensible tags and then
post a comment on my Ask the RIA Cowboy blog so that I know where to find it.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: blazeds performance
Perhaps messaging has some overhead that Remoting doesn't? Messaging
should still be using AMF3 so that is probably not where the bottleneck
is. You might still be able to add the same benchmarking stuff to the
underlying channel on the Consumer.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: blazeds performance
Thanks for the reply.
Since you were pulling down 20K rows in less than 2 seconds in the
benchmark app, it
seems like I am certainly doing something wrong.
I looked at the benchmark app and tried to emulate the way you measured
the
performance, however it looks like you are doing things a little
differently from the way I
am. You are setting up a channel in your code:
var channel:AMFChannel = new AMFChannel(null, messagebroker/amf);
channel.netConnection.objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF3;
var channelSet:ChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
channelSet.addChannel(channel);
ro.channelSet = channelSet;
channelSet.messageAgents[0].addEventListener('acknowledge',loadDone);
But I am just using a subscribe with a consumer:
mx:Consumer id=consumer destination=factory
message=messageHandler(event.message)/
I tested the time between when messageHandler is first called and when
it is finished
drawing and it is 52 seconds. I'm not sure if that includes the load or
not. I'm not sure
how to actually test the performance since I can't grab the start time
from before the
message is sent since the message request does not originate in my code.
One thing I was also wondering is whether or not I am defining the
channel properly and
using blazeds or perhaps some other protocol. Here's how I set it up in
my messaging-
config file:
adapters
adapter-definition id=TCgateway class=factory.ReportManager/
/adapters
destination id=factory
adapter ref=TCgateway/
/destination
And ReportManager is just an instance of ServiceAdapter:
public class ReportManager extends ServiceAdapter {
public Object invoke(Message message) { }
}

Re: [flexcoders] Running LCDS on Tomcat port 80
I use Apache with mod_proxy like this: ProxyRemote /census/* http://localhost:8080/census/ ProxyPass /census http://localhost:8080/census ProxyPassReverse /census http://localhost:8080/census For kernel based port forwarding you can use iptables on Linux. More info here: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=UsingPortForwardingWithJBoss Works great for me and is easier to maintain than mod_jk. -James On Sun, 2008-02-03 at 02:43 -0800, Kevin wrote: I am wondering which of the different methods for running Tomcat on port 80 are best or most appropriate for deploying my LCDS app. In my research I seems to have found a couple different options.

I saw this post http://www.brightworks.com/technology/brightworks_articles/setting_up_a_\ windows_tomcat_fds_server.html which is great, but it also seemed like he was a little unsure if it was the correct way to achieve this.

I created a simple Stock Portfolio application from this book: http://www.theriabook.com/ . The Stock Portfolio has a remote procedure call using a Java backend and Flex/mxml front end. In my build file, I compile the Java classes, then copy the Flex DS libs and .mxml files to the appropriate directories in the webapp. I then jar this all up and use a catalina task to deploy to Tomcat using ant (this is similar to how we deploy our other applications). I then go to http://localhost:8080/stockportfolio, which goes to http://localhost:8080/StockPortfolio.mxml. And it works (my application shows up, and the remote calls work great). However, if I make a small change to my code and deploy again using the same ant build file, then go back to http://localhost:8080/stockportfolio, it indicates the application can not be found. Checking out the Tomcat webapps directory, stockportfolio is there, but the only directory left inside the folder is WEB-INF/lib, with all of the jar files. I've encountered this problem before (a jar locking problem in Tomcat), so added antiResourceLocking=true and antiJARLocking=true to my context.xml file, stopped Tomcat, deployed again, and that fixed the problem (so I'm able deploy without the jar files locking up), but a new one has popped up. I can only deploy this way 3-4 times before Tomcat displays an out of memory error. Watching my task manager while deploying and then going to the application, I think this happens as the .swf is created. Each time I redeploy and then visit the application, the memory usage continues to rise. I've increased the memory allocated to Tomcat, but it doesn't help if the memory usage continues to rise as I deploy several times (which I tend to do during development of the application). I'm trying to find a better way to deploy the application, and if this is indeed caused by compiling the mxml to swf, I'd like to compile the swf during deployment using ant. So I looked on the web and fount flex ant tasks (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Ant_Tasks ). However, I have yet to find a good ant build file I can use as a template for a Flex Data Services application, and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction (or perhaps provide a solution to the problem I have above). Any attempts so far at compiling using mxmlc and the ant tasks have corrupted my application source and so the application doesn't run (solve one error, another pops up, very frustrating process). Any help/advice is appreciated, thanks!

What I'm experiencing however, is when trying to push actionscript view object's back to the server which contain complex array types as parameters to methods of the remoted EJB session beans, a service fault occurs stating the flex.messaging.io.ArrayCollection class was not found. What I found was moving all the flex web app's java delegate classes along with ALL flex* and common* libraries out of the applications WEB-INF/lib folder to OC4J's j2ee/home/applib folder fixed the issue. Presumably as they are now picked up as global libraries and available to all J2EE application components deployed to the container (must be running in a parent classloader to the individual applications deployed). The exact error I received is shown at the bottom of this message. Has anyone seen a similar classloading issue on other application servers for FDS projects? What component on the server is actually trying to perform the class.forName below? Where is it running?

Re: [flexcoders] FDS2 and Linux
I've had this problem too. Problem is that the installer is using it's own JVM, rather than the system one. There is some way to override this, but I can't remember how. So alternatively you can download the HP_UX version, which is actually just a jar file installer, then run: java -jar fds2_install.jar Let me know if you have any problems. -James On Sat, 2006-11-18 at 22:19 +0100, Christoph Guse wrote: Hi List, today I tried to install FDS2 on my Kubuntu Linux box.

Re: [flexcoders] FDS Configuration on JBOSS
Try putting flex.war (expanded war file) into the deploy dir.

mx:Component
mx:Label text={(data as XML).samples::age}

Could you take another look at my code and try to put in context how
I would declare and use that namespace variable? Like I said, I am
a complete newbie to Flex, and this really is my first ever project

I've used is in scope when I'm trying to parse the result document,
I'm not sure on how to mix MXML and ActionScript (so just giving me
an extract of ActionScript code without showing me how to include it
in my MXML doesn't really help too much). I do appreciate all the
responses from everyone though.

The issue isnt how many users FDS Express can support but how many users your entire application can support per server. Because FDS is just a piece of your web application (WAR). So if you are doing something that is computationally intense or disk access intense it will suck up system resources more than otherwise, thus reducing the number of concurrent users your FDS app can support. So you really need to test your app to see how many concurrent users your apps, without FDS, will support. Adding FDS to that will obviously consume resources as well. What this means is FDS is more expensive when attached to a more heavy application.

Hi Flex Friends. I thought you might be interested in a little project I have been working on which uses Flex 1.5, Cairngorm 0.99, and EJB 3. It's open source so hopefully those learning Flex will have a few more real world examples. And hopefully some of the Flex and Cairngorm veterans can offer their wisdom to make the project even better. Check out my blog for more info (demo, docs, etc) http://www.cayambe.com/ Let me know what you think.

Re: [flexcoders] How to create copy of a object
Joe,
Your timing on this was impeccable! I just spent the past hour
wrestling with ObjectCopy (both Manish's and the mx.utils one that
doesn't work).
So here is Manish's ObjectCopy with Joe's hack to preserve type:
public static function copy(source):Object
{
var cl:Number = copyCache.length;
for (var i:Number = 0; i cl; i++)
{
var o = copyCache[i];
if (o.s == source)
return o.t;
}
copyDepthLevel++;
var newObj;
if (typeof(source.__constructor__) == function)
{
// for AS2 classes
newObj = new source.__constructor__();
}
else if (typeof(source.constructor) == function)
{
// for Arrays and Objects
newObj = new source.constructor();
}
else
{
// for goodness sake, instantiate *something*!
newObj = new Object();
}
copyCache.push({s: source, t: newObj});
for (var p in source)
{
var v = source[p];
newObj[p] = typeof v == object ? copy(v) : v;
}
if (--copyDepthLevel == 0)
copyCache = [];
return newObj;
}
Notice that the method signature changed slightly. This was to avoid
this error:
Error: A function call on a non-function was attempted.
due to:
newObj = new source.constructor();
I have tested this code in my app and it's working great! Thanks Joe
and Manish!

A couple of big caveats here.
1. mx.utils.ObjectCopy is broken. (At least, in the Flex 1.5
distribution.) It does not correctly preserve the class of an object
when that class is a subclass of some superclass. Instead, the copied
object will appear to have the type of the superclass.
I note that ObjectCopy appears to only be used in net debugging and
nowhere else. So this bug isn't exposed via any documented Flex APIs.
Moral: beware of undocumented internal Flash classes, however convenient
they might look.
2. Even if ObjectCopy worked, you cannot conveniently meld Manish's
cached-array approach with it, because ObjectCopy will do the wrong
thing with cycles (it locks up) and multiply referenced objects (it
duplicates instances).
So what to do?
As empirically determined through testing, one correct approach in Flex
1.5 to instantiating an object that preserves the type of an existing
one is as follows:
var newObj;
if (typeof(obj.__constructor__) == function)
{
// for AS2 classes
newObj = new obj.__constructor__();
}
else if (typeof(obj.constructor) == function)
{
// for Arrays and Objects
newObj = new obj.constructor();
}
else
{
// for goodness sake, instantiate *something*!
newObj = new Object();
}
I've exhaustively tested this and it works correctly for AS2 classes,
for Arrays, and for untyped Objects. You can merge it with Manish's
code (which I haven't tested, but looks good) to produce a working,
accurate deep copy.

Subject: [flexcoders] How to create copy of a object
I want to create a copy for my custom object before it is modified so
that i can rollback my changes on any error condition. Do we have any
inbuilt methods or any alternative solution for creating a copy of
object so that changes made to original object is not reflected copied
object.

[flexcoders] The 'lots-o-text' mx:Text Bug
Hi all. I just discovered a very strange possible bug in the mx:Text component. It seems that if I create just a plain old selectable mx:Text field with lots of text (like 50k) then after simply clicking on the text field, my CPU utilization jumps to 40% (from 0%) and just sticks there. If I click again, click somewhere else, select the text, scroll with my mouse wheel, do nothing, whatever, cpu usage stays at 40%. If I scroll the text field by clicking on the up, down or drag-scroll thingy, my CPU utilization drops back down to 0%. If I set my mx:Text field to selectable=false then I don't have this problem (but that's not an option in this instance). Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas on a workaround? Thanks. -James Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Fun with context roots
This seems like something that could easily be handled by Apache's mod_rewrite. Are you running Apache on your front end web server? How does the redirect from the front end webserver to the app server happen? If you are not running Apache there is probably some trickery you could setup with JSP's. I do not think that this is something that could be done with just Flex though. I think you will need something intelligent on the server side to make the routing decisions. -James On Wed, 2005-06-08 at 21:28 +, sbyrne_dorado wrote: Matt, I'm sorry that I'm not being clear. I'm thinking about your JSP suggestion, and I suppose that would, and would confirm my original premise that Flex has a limitation in this area. Let's see if I can be a little clearer: WEB SERVER: incoming url from browser: http://66.23.45.67/beta/Example.mxml redirects to outgoing to app server:http://192.168.4.110/Example.mxml APP SERVER: can know as a deployment parameter that the external name contains beta. incoming url from web server: http://192.168.4.110/Example.mxml emits some HTML with EMBEDS in it, BUT THIS HTML DOES NOT CONTAIN beta in the URLs that it uses to refer to the Flex servlets. It needs to in order for the calls from the browser to the Flex servlets to be redirected successfully by the Webserver. My assertion is that Flex does not have any support for this situation, and instead REQUIRES that the Webserver NOT rewrite the URLs to remove a context root that's used only for directing traffic at the Webserver. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Could you embed the information by generating the MXML using a JSP? I don't remember if you can access the URL that the browser thinks you are hitting from a JSP if it is really a pass-through from another server. The JSP might think it's on the real server (192.168...) and not (foo.bar.com). If not maybe you can do it with Javascript on the HTML page since the url in the address bar should have the right info? Sorry, not much help but I'm still having trouble understanding which pieces of info you have access to, don't have access to, when you would have access to it, and where and when you need that info.

Here's the situation: I would like to have the ability to have a web server dispatch to different app servers based on a contex root like path prefix. But, I don't want to have to force each of those app servers to have to have the webapp stored under the same context root that the web server URLs are using. More concretely: On my webserver I want to be able to say http://foo.bar.com/beta/...;, and have the webserver redirect that to the internal app server URL http://192.168.1.1/...;; i.e. no beta context root. Can I do this? I can't seem to get the URLs generated by the server to be the externally visible form of the URLs (i.e. with the beta context root) and not have the app server's context root be beta.

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm Confusion
I think you raise valid questions. The main question is really one that most developers ask at some point. Why use these things called Patterns? You may want to check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/ or search google. There are many, many article on Pattern based development. And my short answer to the What is Cairngorm? question is: Cairngorm is a framework for implementing Patterns within a Flex application. Hope that helps. -James On Wed, 2005-05-25 at 13:08 -0500, Mike Anderson wrote: Hello Everyone, I want so terribly to assimilate Flex into my programming life, as I can see the true potential of it now.

Naturally, you'll also be able to leverage those same new features, so we thought we'd start giving you a run down of what's new. Of course we don't have beta software for you to play with yet, so for now, we'll provide a lot of detail so you can evaluate these new features and give guidance for us. XML manipulation in Flex 2.0 is going to get a lot more powerful, as well as faster. By the time that Flex 2.0 ships, the Flash Player will support E4X (ECMAScript for XML), a set of programming language extensions adding native XML support to ECMAScript. The player team is busy implementing Standard ECMA-357 as described in http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-357.htm. Here's how the spec describes what this feature offers: E4X adds native XML datatypes to the ECMAScript language, extends the semantics of familiar ECMAScript operators for manipulating XML objects and adds a small set of new operators for common XML operations, such as searching and filtering. It also adds support for XML literals, namespaces, qualified names and other mechanisms to facilitate XML processing. Lets take a look at a few examples of how you can read XML data using E4X. As in the current player, you'll be able to create variables of type XML by parsing a String. But XML literals will now be supported as well: var employees:XML = employees employee ssn=123-123-1234 name first=John last=Doe/ address street11 Main St./street citySan Francisco/city stateCA/state zip98765/zip /address /employee employee ssn=789-789-7890 name first=Mary last=Roe/ address street99 Broad St./street cityNewton/city stateMA/state zip01234/zip /address /employee /employees; Instead of using DOM-style APIs like firstChild, nextSibling, etc., with E4X you just dot down to grab the node you want. Multiple nodes are indexable with [n], similar to the elements of an Array: trace(employees.employee[0].address.zip); --- 98765 To grab an attribute, you just use the .@ operator: trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]); --- 789-789-7890 If you don't pick out a particular node, you get all of them, as an indexable list: trace(employees.employee.name); --- name first=John last=Doe/ name first=Mary last=Roe/

My mm.cfg file has these settings and seems to be correctly generating a

Hi All. I have been messing with custom preloader stuff and a few questions have come up which I can't seem to find answers to, so I am turning to the guru's. Basically I want to control what my preloader looks like (this part is pretty straight forward), but I also want this preloader to stay on the screen for a little while beyond my app's creationComplete. I want it to stay up until I generate another event. The next thing is that I would like to use my custom preloader when the browser loads the swf from cache. I can't seem to override the default preloader in this instance. Only on the first, non-cached pull of the swf. Is this stuff possible? Thanks! -James Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Need help with BEA Weblogic and Portlets
I did that a while back. It was pretty straight forward... I used workshop and imported flex.war to create a web project. Then added some portlets. Sorry I don't have more details, this was like 9 months ago. Hope that helps somewhat. -James On Fri, 2005-03-18 at 08:16 -0800, Jeff Steiner wrote: I have a co-worker that is attempting to compile Flex apps into portlets for use within WebLogic Portal server.

Re: [flexcoders] Using embedded fonts in the htmlText property
Min,
Do something like:
function setStyleSheet(event)
{
var myStyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
myStyleSheet.load(assets/styles.css);
event.target.styleSheet = myStyleSheet;
}
mx:Text width=100% initialize=setStyleSheet(event)
mx:htmlText
![CDATA[
span class='bodyText'test/span
]]
/mx:htmlText
/mx:Text
Hope that helps.

Hello,
I've embedded the Futura font family in my Flex application. Can the
text within the htmlText property of a mx:Text tag access these fonts?
For example, I have the following stylesheet mystyle.css:
@font-face {
src: url(/fonts/lte50154.ttf);
fontFamily:futura;
}
bodyText {
font-family: futura;
font-size: 12pt;
text-align: left;
color: #00;
}
And I have the following line within my mxml file:
mx:Text htmlText=span class='bodyText'HELLO!/span /
Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Use hand cursor
I am really surprised that MM didn't do a better job with this. My
personal feeling is that anything that can be clicked, should by
default, use the hand cursor. Sorry for the rant... So I ended up
creating wrapper classes for clickable items. For instance:
class components.Button extends mx.controls.Button
{
function init():Void
{
super.init();
useHandCursor = true;
}
function onPress():Void
{
super.onPress();
}
}
Hope that helps.

Hi flex coders,
Does anyone know how I can force use of the hand cursor, specifically
on an Image control? Ideally Id love to just go
instance.useHandCursor = true;
Do I have to write a derivative and override the relevant mouse
handlers?
Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Handling deployment of flex-config.xml?
Eric, We are using ant to do value replacement in the flex-config then taking the basic flex.war and dumping all our our custom stuff in. This approach works well for us since we do value replacements elsewhere as well. If you want my ant scripts I would be happy to post them. -James On Fri, 2005-03-11 at 20:37 +, Eric Raymond wrote: I'm curious how people handle the flex-config.xml file when they deploy their application to a public server? The issue we have is that the flex config has both development settings which should not be released and other settings like RemoteObject settings which need to be released when they change with respect to a build. One idea is to have some ant task which modifies the config file prior to to creating a .war file. Another idea is to somehow split up the flex-config file into two files: a file that contains the release/development specific info and a file which has the common, but likely to change settings like remoteobject configurations. We would have two versions of the former file. Has anyone dealt with this in a nice way? FYI, we like to deploy straight from version control with no/minimal manual steps involved. Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Flex concerns
Well we are actually building our entire website / portal in Flex. So the search engine problem applies to us. Luckily we have a content management system behind our portal so our solution is to hide an iframe with a plain old indexable version of our site. Any links into that iframe get redirected to the correct place in the portal. This is one of the topics which will be in the article I will be writing in April. -James On Sat, 2005-03-05 at 01:13 +0530, Manish Jethani wrote: Shell Bryson wrote: So far I've discovered; search engines ignore Flex apps. Thankfully! Search engines can't tell the difference between a webpage with *content* (like a news article, a website with food recipes, etc.) and a web application, and they end up indexing the application contents (like all the labels and stuff?). Why would a search engine want to index a Flex app? What's there in a Flex app for a search engine to know about? My understanding is that Flex is for *applications* while HTML/CSS is for *content*. If you use one for the other, you have trouble. Manish Yahoo! Groups Links
dynamic rsl loading
Has anyone dealt with loading different rsl's depending on the url or some other parameter? What I would like to do is split my application up into small pieces. If a user has accessed my application but not logged in I don't want them to have to download the rsl for everything, just the one for login, registration, etc. Once the user logs in, some things (like navigation) stay the same, but now the user can see more stuff. So I would like to load an additional rsl. All using the same base mxml file. Any ideas? Thanks. -James

dropShadow masking?
Hi all. I have encountered some strange behavior when I added a dropShadow to a VBox which has a WipeDown / WipeUp effect on it. The dropShadow doesn't wipe with the VBox. This can be seen by adding dropShadow=true to the cart VBox on the Samples - Explorer - UI Patterns - Overlay Demo. Am I using this wrong or is this a bug? If it's a bug is there a known workaround? Thanks. -James
reset a form?
I wish there were a method on a form to reset it... I have a form in a viewstack... The user fills out the form clicks save, I set the text fields text = , and then switch to a different view. Works decent. However, let's say I allow the user to navigate back to the form. Well, the validator is now showing it's error messages (required fields)... Bummer. So I guess I would like a form reset or a way to clear validation errors. Any ideas? Thanks. -James
RE: [flexcoders] ChangeEvent on component in mxml component
asdf gets set by a remoteobject result handler. I think I need to give
a little more detail...
I want to have code in MyComponent.mxml that has logic dependent on
values in the valueobject. So depending on what gets passed to the
component the component renders differently.
Thanks for the help Matt.

How have you declared the asdf property? If its declared just as a

Subject: [flexcoders] ChangeEvent on component in mxml component
Hi everyone.
I have a mxml component with a ValueObject in it. I am binding to the
valueobject where I use the component. How can I generate an event
when
the data changes?
My code is something like this:
MyComponent data={asdf}/
in MyComponent.mxml I have something like:
ValueObject id=data/
ValueObject is a .as file.
So how do I generate an event when {asdf} changes?
Thanks in advance.

Replying to myself... Bad form... Sorry. Doing this: var myStyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet(); myStyleSheet.load(assets/styles.css); details.styleSheet = myStyleSheet; details.htmlText = span class='test'test/span; works, but isn't pretty.
