[flexcoders] Proxying RMPTS in a DMZ
I have a situation where I need to make a tomcat web server running LCDS accessible on the internet. Our flex application talks to the web server over https for Remote Object AMF requests, and over RMTPS using the messaging protocol for push. I don't want to put the web server in the DMZ, for security reasons, so the most obvious solution is a reverse proxy in the DMZ. With a previous flex app we've used the tomcat redirector, which works fine for http based AMF requests, but it won't work for RMTPS, as this is a persistent socket connection, with its own protocol that the tomcat redirector doesn't understand. I haven't been able to find much in the way of documentation on this topic on the Adobe website. I did find mention of deploying another Adobe enterprise app that uses RMTP using SSL accelerators in the DMZ, but I am not sure this will work with flex. I was wondering if anybody out there has successfully configured such a solution to proxy AMF and RMTP request from a DMZ.
[flexcoders] Re: DataServices destinations design dilemma...
I tend to eschew implementing inheritance in data model that needs to be persisted to a database - preferring (in this example) instead to overload PetVO with all of the possible pet properties and give it a petType property. Regardless of whether or not you implement inheritance, the PetVO must have a property: public var friends : ArrayCollection; In the database you will have to have a table something like the following PetRelationship relationship_id INT (Autonumber) - surrogate key pet_id INT - FK Pet table friend_id INT - FK Pet table And use it to do your data services mapping, and map it appropriately in Hibernate as well (if that's what you are using). You could optionally expose this object as an endpoint itself, so it would be the home of the friends lists. In this case the PetVO would just have a property: public var relationship : PetRelationship; And your mapped PetRelationShipVO would store the ArrayCollection of friends. Now, the application of either would be relatively obvious in the case where you don't implement inheritance in the datamodel. I am sure there is a way to do it with inheritance - I've just never done it - but the approach would be similar, you really need a many-to-many mapping table at the PetVO level. __ Josh Vanderberg - vanderblog.typepad.com --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: DataServices experts, We are currently stumped on how to configure our data-management config to address a very specific data model that we have. I would love to get some ideas/feedback on how to solve this dilemma. Here is our problem (as simplified as possible). We have a number of objects that extend a root object like so: PetsVO(root object) extended by: - DogVO - CatVO - BirdVO - FishVO - RatVO Here is the problem. Each object can hold a collection of pet's objects. So in a social networking way, each pet can be linked to its pet friends. DogVO - holds collection of PetVO's CatVO - holds collection of PetVO's BirdVO - holds collection of PetVO's ... you get the idea. So, how do with deal with this in our destinations?? Option 1) Hierarchical management. - This works conceptually of course since no association tags are required to link the destinations together. However, we then have major scaling issues no way to throttle individual destinations, etc... Not really a working solution unless your model was truly as simple as the one I am describing. Option 2) Use destinations to manage relationships. We set up destinations for each of these sub classes: dogs cats birds fish rats However, how do we associate the PetVO collection in each? many-to-many property=pets destination=??? lazy=true / THOUGHT 1: If we have a pets destination and set up a many-to-many tag from dogs to pets then we create the problem where we are managing the same object in two different places. Plus when we add a CatVO to a pets collection in a dogs destination (as an example) DataServices initializes a createItem in the pets destination not knowing that the object already exists as part of the cats destination...not good. THOUGHT 2: We could set up a many-to-many tag in dogs to cats...however this obviously won't work when someone then adds a BirdVO to the collection. What to do?... I realize this is a silly example, but hopefully it illustrates the problem of integrating an object model which uses a lot of Base or Root objects into DataServices. Is there something we are missing or not understanding about how we could set this up? I would be interested to see if anyone has any solutions. (I should note that we are using Hibernate with Annotations.) Thanks for your help we look forward to any of your ideas, Kevin

SPAM-LOW: [flexcoders] Re: Air/Flex App With Barcode Reader
If you call addEventListener with useCapture=true, the listener will
trap events that don't usually bubble. I've verified that it works
even when the focus is on a tab bar.
The one issue is that after the application starts *nothing* has focus
- but once you click on anything, even a component that doesn't
normally respond to keyboard events, the centralized listener will
start getting key events.

[flexcoders] Re: Viewstack problems
It all depends - if you can get away with it, by all means, use the
default creation policy and defer object creation until later. But, I
have to say that in any sort of a complex application this invariably
leads to problems that are difficult to work around. Sometimes it's
just *simpler* to create everything up front and not have to worry
whether or not a particular component has yet to be instantiated.
As for your claim In a complex app, this will seriously degrade the
percieved responsiveness of your application., I have to disagree.
At worst creationPolicy='all' will only adversely impact load time.
After that the application will actually be more responsive than if
you defer the creation of child components.

I found that using a bound Model component is a great solution to
populating and
updating data displayed on viewstack children.
You can update the Model and when the viewstack child is visible the
modified
data will be present.
for example:
Create a Model
mx:Model id=myModel
record
FirstNameHomer/FirstName
/record
/mx:Model
Add a text input to a viewstack child canvas
mx:TextInput text={myModel.FirstName} /
Then modify model using AS
myModel.FirstName = Bart
You can also bind your Model to an ArrayCollection, XML, or
XMLListCollection
data source to populate it initially.
mx:Model id=myModel
record
FirstName{myDataSource.FirstName}/FirstName
/record
/mx:Model

Possible solution:
1. Ask yourself if you really need to write data on something that is
not visible. It's not like someone is going to notice it...
Try if you could use the initialize/show-events of the child itself to
do this.
2. If you can't delegate the writing, and you do have to write to an

the viewstack and its children to all. This should let the viewstack

That would certainly be a nice feature, but when I saw demos of using

look like there was much in the way of integration with LCDS.
Unless something has changed, to do this you'd have to create client
side tables on your own, that mirror your server-side tables, and
manage the data stored there manually using a JDBC like API. No small
feat.

'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov',
'Dec'];
}
}
}
Then in your code replace all references to DateField with MyDateField.

Hi.
I'm using Flex 2.01, and I'm looking for something to change the
values for all the
components of the same kind, by declaring it only once in the
application. For example:
I want to use my personal monthNames and dayNames for the component
DateField, but I
want to declare my values only once, and not every time I add a
DateField component.
I got the idea when I saw that I could define the labels for the OK,
Cancel, Yes and No buttons
from Alert messages, by changing the value of variables in the main
application like:
Alert.yesLabel = Sí;
Alert.noLabel = No;
Alert.cancelLabel = Cancelar;
Alert.okLabel = Aceptar;
Can I do something similar with other components? Where can I find
the info about it?
Thank you very much
[flexcoders] Re: how do I freeze the users actions while data is loading
I tend to avoid modal dialogs if at all possible. Generally it's much better to display some sort of a non-modal status message, such as a progress meter, and disable those functions that the user shouldn't have access to while the data is loading. For example, a current application I am working on allows users to open documents that contain multiple pages of multiple reports/charts. Each report involves a round trip data request to the server that can take up to a minute. The simple solution would be to create a modal popup that stays up until all of the reports for a page have loaded. Instead I display a progress meter in each report, until the report data has returned, then I display a chart containing the data. I allow the user to switch between pages, and even between documents while reports are loading. It was a pain to code, but it makes for a much more usable application. Your case might be simpler, and there might be nothing meaningful the user can do while waiting for the data, but the application will still look and feel more responsive if you find a way to avoid the modal dialog. And who knows, you might eventually find something they can do while they wait... -- Josh Vanderberg vanderblog.typepad.com - Flex Blog and open source components --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I guess sometimes the easy answer is the one we overlook. I don't know why I didn't think about using some kind of wait message or progress bar in a pop-up. Thanks. I have one last question about this. When do I destroy the pop-up? I'd like it to stay on until all the data has been parsed, sorted then loaded into the dataGrid. I thought it would be on the dataGrid in UpdateComplete, but that fires off everytime the DG updates (doesn't it?). So when is the best time to do this?
