[flexcoders] Help with Error Handling Please
I am wondering if anyone has implemented a master error handler and if it is even a good idea. Since all errors raise events, couldn't I just build a master error handler at the application level that listens for those events and takes appropriate action. I figured I would pop up a friendly error warning, log the error and send and email via CFC if I can. Fatal errors should be caught in try catch logic but general non- fatal errors can be handled this way and not interrupt usage of the application except for the part that errored. Any thoughts? Moving forward, I have tried to get general functionality working and I cannot get the errors events to be caught by my listeners. I think I may have them in the wrong scope. How would I attach a global listener to my application mxml and have it listen for errors bubbling up from components? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Need help using XML files without embedding them in SWF
Right now I use several XML files in my Flex 2 app and they are being embedded in the SWF file. I define them in an mx:XML tag like this: mx:XML id=inboxConfig format=e4x source=../xml/site_configs/inboxConfig.xml/ As you can see by the relative pathing the files are in the same file structure as the final SWF. How can I decouple these files so they are not embedded in the swf but are read at runtime? Since they are config files it would be useful to change them without having to recompile the app to get them re-embedded. Should I be using a URLLoader or HTTPService instead? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Re: Best practices questions about Flex/CF and the cflogin container
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the answer on that. I would still love to see a sample CF/Flex app from the developers that shows their vision for a good login system using CFLOGIN. I know its hard to find the time for stuff like this but security and authentication is so integral to every app. With this stuff being so new to me I don't trust that my solution is as solid as it could be or that I am seeing all the angles. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, D. Dean Harmon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I can't answer the other questions right now, but I can answer this one: And one last question, if CFLOGIN is the ColdFusion's answer to a best practice for application security why is it not implemented by the login code that is built by the new CF/Flex wizard? The reason that the wizard does not implement login code, but just a skeleton, is that we have no idea what the user will *really* want to do to manage logins. What if the Flex App is part of a larger app and they were already logged in? What if they have a different schema for doing login stuff than CFLogin? Are they using LDAP, roles, or NT Security? Lots of different questions. We made the skeleton so you could put your code in there to do what you want as an example, that's why the login method always returns true and has no actual code inside of it. Yahoo!

Re: RESENDING: RE: [flexcoders] Login System
This is something I have been struggling with as well. Since I am
brand new to this groups thing how do I download your samples file.
It tells me the attachment was not stored and I can not get the file.

Unzip it to your web server's doc root. In flex builder create a
new
Flex project of type ColdFusion Flash Remoting Service. Fill
out the
prompts and specify LoginTest.mxml as your Main application file.
Here's a code snippet from the app and it breaks down like this
In the MXML
...
private function logIn():void
{
// all this does
is set
the credentials - these are not sent over until the first actual
request
is made
// set the

cf.setRemoteCredentials(this.username.text, this.password.text);
loginbtn.enabled =
false;
logoutbtn.enabled =
true;
}
private function logOut():void
{
//Alert.show
(logout);
loginbtn.enabled =
true;
logoutbtn.enabled =
false;
cf.setRemoteCredentials(null, null);
cf.logout();
cf.logoutuser();
}
...
...
mx:FormItem direction=horizontal
mx:Button id=loginbtn
label=Login click=logIn();/
mx:Button id=logoutbtn
label=Logout click=logOut() enabled=false/
/mx:FormItem
The CFML included in the app uses the CFLOGIN structure as per CF
best
practices of usage of this feature.
Also note that as part of the new Super Wizard for Flex Builder 2.0
produced by the CF team includes an option to build-in a login
scheme
(includes a well-formatted login page with user name and password
field
prompts and the appropriate cfc backend logic).

I'd have the Flash send the username/password to the CF over HTTPS.
The CF creates a per-session token and gives that back to the
Flash.
The Flash then gives that token as the first argument to all other
server
functions.
Obviously some small wibbles with CF keeping track of tokens,
validating
and
expiring them etc., but I'm not gonna write it all out here :-)

[flexcoders] Best practices questions about Flex/CF and the cflogin container
Ok I have been playing with using cflogin to handle security for my Flex/CF app for about a month. After seeing several examples that only address the most simple login scenarios I started to look a little farther. I am wondering if anyone has a real good example of a login/security system using CFLOGIN that can do the following: 1. Manage a flex app side timer that manages timing out a user and logging them out in the app and on CF (also can it keep alive the CF app when no remote objects are in play but hte user is still active in the app). 2. Works across multiple remote objects. (Do I really have to set credentials for every single object? Why can't the jsessionid and session based login info keep me logged in? Its not a laziness thing it is just that I want to understand why I cannot login once and then be good until the session dies without having to check if the proper credentials are sent every single time.) And one last question, if CFLOGIN is the ColdFusion's answer to a best practice for application security why is it not implemented by the login code that is built by the new CF/Flex wizard? (At least the code I generated last night with the wizard did not employ CFLOGIN or even a application.cfc. Sorry for the wall of text, but this stuff is driving me mad Yahoo!
