You could create a cellRenderer of a DataGridColumn, place i.e. a Label

[flexcoders] Re: so hard

2006-02-15 Thread Dave Wolf

Calling an EJB would be exactly like calling any mx:RemoteObject/. 
The only difference would be that you will want to create a Delegate
class on the server that does the initial JNDI lookup of the Home
interface, the create() to get the RemoteInterface etc.  Think of it
as a little helper that then simply returns a reference to the
RemoteInterface.

RE: [flexcoders] Datagrid text colors (v1.5)

2006-02-15 Thread Sauro, Nick











Yes, all renderers need to define a
setValue method, where you have the data for that cell. In there, you can
perform your logic for if this val, use this color, else use etc etc.



Its as simple as:

mx:Label

 mx:Script

 Function setValue(I forgot the
parameters){

 //logic

 }

 /mx:Script

/mx:Label

You didn't mention which version of Flex. I am not sure

RE: [flexcoders] Mouse Event Filtering











Sorry, I dont know if this works in
the Flex 2 beta, but I should have specified that were working with Flex
1.5 at Yahoo. Unfortunately, EventDispatcher states:



 function addEventListener(eventType:String,
eventListener):Void

 {

 // Note: In
the future, we may add a third parameter,

 //
useCapture:Boolean, to be compliant with the

 // DOM
Level 3 Events spec,

 //
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/events.html.

 .

 .

 .



This would have been very convenient if it were
implemented. Nevertheless, Button and other components do seem able to capture
the event. Is this a question for one of the Flash lists (any recommendation to
which list I should post this question)?



Thanks, Matt  if you or anyone else
has any other ideas, Id really love to hear them

you want to add your mouse

and then call stopPropagation on the event in your

believe that will prevent it from moving further
down the hierarchy.

Subject: [flexcoders] Mouse Event Filtering

There are two variations to my question, but they
should share a common
solution:

1) I want to create a glass pane - ie,
a transparent layer that can
capture/consume mouse events without allowing the
event to bubble to a
component below it. I've tried to achieve this
effect with a transparent
Canvas, but the component below it (eg, a
TextArea), also catches the
event.

2) I have a floating toolbar that extends Canvas.
I don't want to use
the PopUpManager because of issues with the
FocusManager and TextArea
that causes text to be selected incorrectly when
focus is returned after
focus was transferred to a toolbar button. If the
toolbar is floating
above the TextArea component, the cursor changes
to an ibeam. If I click
down on the toolbar to drag it, the toolbar drags,
but the TextArea also
gets the events, causing text to become selected.
I want the toolbar to
consume the mouse events occurring on it without
any further event
bubbling.


Since the toolbar has a mouseMove handler that
allows me to drag it, I
can drag even by pressing mouse down on a toolbar
button. I guess the
toolbar as parent is receiving and handling the
mousedown, even though
the mouse down event is also propagating to its
child button component
as well (I actually do not want this behavior
either, but I suppose I
can solve this easily enough with hitTest). But
what is really
interesting is that the event stops there if it's
caught by the button
-- the TextArea below the toolbar doesn't get the
event in this case. So
something about a Button or its superclasses makes
it special, but the
difference isn't apparent to me in the AS source
provided with Flex.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

example from the following link 
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flex_samples/flex_explorer/explorer.html

into flex builder2 but i get the compile error Type annotation is not 
a compile-time constant: LogonEvent in my test flex app.

its the following line

public function logonHandler(event:LogonEvent):void 

i suppose it doesnt know what a LogonEvent is. 
what am i missing ? i only copied and pasted the whole demo.

[flexcoders] Object.registerClass and createChild with custom components - man ifest.xml ??

2006-02-15 Thread Christoph Diefenthal

Hi,

I am using Flex 1.5 and I am creating custom components dynamically from its
classnames like this:


// got a class name
var windowName:String = TitleWindowData;

//create a instance of this title window 
var oInitObj:Object = new Object();
oInitObj.title = Title Window Data;   
oInitObj.width = 600;

oInitObj.height = 200;


var titleWindowInstance:Object = 
TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, 

mx.utils.ClassUtil.findClass(windowName), 

false, 
oInitObj, 
false));

titleWindowInstance.centerPopUp(this);



I know I have to register a class like this before I create an instance
like:
Object.registerClass(TitleWindowTest, TitleWindowData);


Now I look for a way to safe this step. Is there a way?



I was wondering, if it would be helpful to create a SWC and mymanifest.xml
of TitleWindowData.mxml 
with the compc.exe and set it in the flex-config.xml like this:

..
namespace uri=http://www.top21.de/2005/mxml/brochureConf;
manifest/WEB-INF/flex/brochureConf-manifest.xml/manifest
  /namespace
..

But I still have to call Object.registerClass before I can create an
instance, although the file should be known to the flex application already.


Did I miss something? Is there no way to get rid of the
Object.registerClass() 
call for every component I want to create dynamically out of classnames ???

Cheers,
Christoph

It got solved yesterday, when checking some recently changed

debugging, andit happened to be an undeclared variable (named aux) that
Flex was interpreting as a class, and therefore looking for it in the
user_classes directory. Just added the preceding var to it and
done.



Although it was something really stupid, I guess a more
describing error message could have helped a lot. =)

It is not a known type or a property of mx.core.Application.











In the first case, the file aux.mxml doesn't even exist. Is
this file generated by the compiler? What permissions should the flex-dir have?

[flexcoders] Response not resolvable with Flex 2.0 and ASP.NET 2.0 Web Service

2006-02-15 Thread syndrake7

Hello,

I've searched the archive and found a lot of information about 
getting a .NET dataset into Flex. I've put together a test app, but 
am not getting past the following error. From reading posts, I get 
the impression that this approach works in Flex 1.5 but not Flex 
2.0. 

In the test app, my other web service methods (HelloWorld and 
SendTest) work just fine. If I change the GetAuthors method so that 
it returns a string full of the dataset XML, I can see that the XML 
looks good in Flex.

Could someone point me to a working example or tutorial explaining 
how to display a .NET dataset in a Flex datagrid?

Thanks much,

-Tony

RE: [flexcoders] Object.registerClass and createChild with custom components - manifest.xml ??

2006-02-15 Thread Dirk Eismann

Hi,

you need at least one reference to the class to get it linked it during
compilation - if the class isn't there at compile time you cannot
instantiate it later as there is no dynamic class loading. To get the
class linked in, it's enough to reference it somewhere, i.e.

  private static function link():Void
  {
TitleWindowData;
  } 

Object.registerClass is not really necesarry - the fact it works when
you use Object.registerClass is just the fact that you explicitly
mention a class there (TitleWindowData that is), but it should work with
the above solution as well.

If you really need dynamic class loading then you'll have to compile a
SWF which contains the class and then load this SWF during runtime.
However, this is quite an adventure in Flex 1.5 to get it working.

Dirk.

 Subject: [flexcoders] Object.registerClass and createChild 
 with custom components - manifest.xml ??
 
 Hi,
 
 I am using Flex 1.5 and I am creating custom components 
 dynamically from its classnames like this:
 
 
 // got a class name
 var windowName:String = TitleWindowData;
 
 //create a instance of this title window var oInitObj:Object 
 = new Object();
   oInitObj.title = Title Window Data;   
   oInitObj.width = 600;
 
   oInitObj.height = 200;
 
   
   var titleWindowInstance:Object = 
   TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, 
 
   mx.utils.ClassUtil.findClass(windowName), 
 
   false, 
   oInitObj, 
   false));
 
   titleWindowInstance.centerPopUp(this);
 
 
 
 I know I have to register a class like this before I create 
 an instance
 like:
 Object.registerClass(TitleWindowTest, TitleWindowData);
 
 
 Now I look for a way to safe this step. Is there a way?
 
 
 
 I was wondering, if it would be helpful to create a SWC and 
 mymanifest.xml of TitleWindowData.mxml with the compc.exe and 
 set it in the flex-config.xml like this:
 
 ..
   namespace uri=http://www.top21.de/2005/mxml/brochureConf;
   
 manifest/WEB-INF/flex/brochureConf-manifest.xml/manifest
   /namespace
 ..
 
 But I still have to call Object.registerClass before I can 
 create an instance, although the file should be known to the 
 flex application already.
 
 
 Did I miss something? Is there no way to get rid of the
 Object.registerClass()
 call for every component I want to create dynamically out of 
 classnames ???
 
 Cheers,
 Christoph

RE: [flexcoders] Re: setUsernamePassword and J2EE login (bounce)

2006-02-15 Thread Jim Schneider

Thanks for the responses. 

Sorry for my ignorance, but are you suggesting that the JSP simulate a login
(invoking the loginContext/loginModule)? Or are you suggesting that the JSP
set the UserPrincipal in the HTTP request (although I don't see a setter in
the request interface API, which makes me wonder how JAAS injects the
UserPrincipal into the request, but I can probably find that somewhere). 

To answer Matt's questions, no, I'm not sure JAAS successfully stores the
principal, yes, the login module is being called, but I'll look at it more
closely.

Thanks again,

Jim

We have, as Carson mentioned, definately seen issues where the
j_session_id is not properly propogated through the proxy.  I would
want to see, as Matt alludes to, do the credentials get propogated
when we take the proxy out of the picture.  I would create a simple
JSP page which itself returns the UserPrincipal.  Call that JSP from
within your Flex app and read the value.

 If you use standard J2EE auth to the container, you can get the remote
 user provided you are not using the proxy. There is currently an issue
 with the proxy not forwarding the cookie in most ( all that we've seen )
 circumstances.  We have received a fix from Adobe on this that we are in
 the process of testing.
 
  
 
 This being said, if you don't use the proxy, you'll be able to acccess
 the user without issue from within your service implementations.  Here's
 the kicker.  The AS2 VM doesn't not handle HTTP status code 500. It
 stops parsing the HTTP response when it sees a 500 which means that you
 will never be able to get at any data that occurs due to a SOAP Fault.
 Per the web services spec, the container is required to return an HTTP
 500 status code when returning a fault. Effectively, you can't handle
 SOAP faults when you don't use the proxy and you get that meaningless
 error message that looks like it simply couldn't connect to the service.
 This issue is handled by the proxy. It changes that HTTP status code
 to 200 so that the flash player can parse the request.  This is a kludge
 if you ask me but that's where we are today.  As a note, this is being
 addressed in FP8.5 but the fix will very likely not ( according to Adobe
 ) be fixed in earlier versions due to backward compatibility.

He's actually not suggesting either.  He's suggesting creating a test

within an authenticated session.

%=request.getUserPrincipal().getName()%

It looks like you're going through a proxy which is using another
session. As I mentioned earlier, there are issues with the proxy and
forwarding credentials from an existing session.  Our context was the
use of web services but this could very well be what you're seeing as

Right, basically attempt to remove Flex from the equation for the
moment, get your JAAS module to fire using credentials you pass in using
the JSP.  Then after you've authenticated use the JSP to see if that
newly created authenticated Principal is stored in the request.  If it
isn't there then the problem is bigger than RemoteObject.

Right, basically attempt to remove Flex from the equation for the
moment, get your JAAS module to fire using credentials you pass in using
the JSP.  Then after you've authenticated use the JSP to see if that
newly created authenticated Principal is stored in the request.  If it
isn't there then the problem is bigger than RemoteObject.

He's actually not suggesting either.  He's suggesting creating a test
JSP that returns the user principal objec to verify that the JSP is
within an authenticated session.

%=request.getUserPrincipal().getName()%

It looks like you're going through a proxy which is using another
session. As I mentioned earlier, there are issues with the proxy and
forwarding credentials from an existing session.  Our context was the
use of web services but this could very well be what you're seeing as
well.

Thanks for the responses. 

Sorry for my ignorance, but are you suggesting that the JSP simulate a
login
(invoking the loginContext/loginModule)? Or are you suggesting that the
JSP
set the UserPrincipal in the HTTP request (although I don't see a setter
in
the request interface API, which makes me wonder how JAAS injects the
UserPrincipal into the request, but I can probably find that somewhere).


To answer Matt's questions, no, I'm not sure JAAS successfully stores
the
principal, yes, the login module is being called, but I'll look at it
more
closely.

Thanks again,

Jim

We have, as Carson mentioned, definately seen issues where the
j_session_id is not properly propogated through the proxy.  I would
want to see, as Matt alludes to, do the credentials get propogated
when we take the proxy out of the picture.  I would create a simple
JSP page which itself returns the UserPrincipal.  Call that JSP from
within your Flex app and read the value.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: setUsernamePassword and J2EE login (bounce)

Actually, this doesn't look correct at all. You're trying to go about
this manually and that is not how J2EE security works.  For this to
work, you have to integrate with the container which means configuring
your servlet container to delegate all J2EE authentication/authorization
to your JAAS module.  After that, you then have to secure resources
within your web application however that's done in your container. For
things like Tomcat, this is done directly in web.xml. Your situation
here will likely be different. If you are using form auth, you then
point your flex form to post to j_security_check passing in j_username
and j_password.  If you are using basic auth, you will simply be
prompted by the browser for userid/password.  Regardless of which you
choose, the order of operations in the J2EE world is the following.

1. User requests a secure resource
2. Server responds with either the page you have configured for
credentials (Form auth) or with a request to the client(browser) to
garner then login information (Basic auth).
3. User enters credentials.
4. If successful, you now have an authenticated session that the server
is intimately familiar with.

To answer the next question, you cannot force these credentials into
J2EE authentication session manually. You have to go through the
server's provided interfaces.  Unfortunately, J2EE security is much too
broad a subject to get into in this medium. I've atttempted to give you
a brief outline of the process here so that you can pursue it within the
context of your container and its capabilities.  Given the frequency of
the questions surrounding this topic, we have submitted this topic as a
candidate for an upcoming DevNet article.

All works fine on our Intranet. Works on our extranet too which is just access via regular intERnet via a proxy server. Note that we do not use

If you use standard J2EE auth to the
container, you can get the remote user provided you are not using the proxy.
There is currently an issue with the proxy not forwarding the cookie in most (
all that we've seen ) circumstances. We have received a fix from Adobe on
this that we are in the process of testing.



This being said, if you don't use the
proxy, you'll be able to acccess the user without issue from within your
service implementations. Here's the kicker. The AS2 VM doesn't not
handle HTTP status code 500. It stops parsing the HTTP response when it sees a
500 which means that you will never be able to get at any data that occurs due
to a SOAP Fault. Per the web services spec, the container is required to return
an HTTP 500 status code when returning a fault. Effectively, you can't handle
SOAP faults when you don't use the proxy and you get that meaningless error
message that looks like it simply couldn't connect to the service. This
issue is handled by the proxy. It changes that HTTP status code to
200 so that the flash player can parse the request. This is a kludge if
you ask me but that's where we are today. As a note, this is being
addressed in FP8.5 but the fix will very likely not ( according to Adobe ) be
fixed in earlier versions due to backward compatibility.

After calling setUsernamePassword on a service, is this

We have a requirement to do a lot of logging of who's

[flexcoders] Re: Mouse Event Filtering

2006-02-15 Thread Doug Lowder

Tony, I had a similar problem in Flex 1.5 with a custom TitleWindow 
component that was receiving events from objects underneath it.  
Never did find out exactly why that was happening; non-100% alpha 
value, perhaps?  Anyway, I solved it by wrapping a simple check 
around the event handler that makes sure the target property of the 
event is the current object: 

if (event.target == this) { // handle the event... }

It might be worth trying that somewhere, like in a delegate for the 
mouseMove event or in handleEvent().

Hope that's of some help.

Doug

 Well, the Flash asdocs really don't make this clear, but I 
initially had a suspicion that overriding a handler instead of 
registering a listener might be the answer. I didn't pursue that 
direction right away because the method signatures don't return a 
Boolean or some other value to indicate that an event was handled 
and no further processing is wanted.
 
 In any case, I was able to achieve the glass pane effect that I 
wanted this morning with the following code:
 
 
   options = { width: 100%, height: 100%};
   Canvas(createChild(Canvas, _glassPane, options));
   _glassPane.setStyle(backgroundColor, #FF00FF);
   _glassPane.alpha = 0;
   _glassPane.visible = false;
 
   MovieClip(_glassPane).onPress = function() {}
 
 
 All of the above was required: without a backgroundColor being 
set, events weren't captured at all; The alpha, of course, was to 
make the glass pane actually invisible (there maybe other properties 
beside backgroundColor that also work for causing events to get 
caught, but I haven't experimented). The visible property -- once a 
backgroundColor property is set -- is what enables and disables the 
event capturing.
 
 
 However, for the toolbar that I also wanted to capture events so 
the text component below doesn't receive them, this is not yet a 
complete solution because it also prevents the child components (the 
toolbar buttons) from getting any events either. I've written some 
code to iterate the child components, but I don't know what to pass 
to them -- it seems intrinsically wrong that the toolbar needs to 
become an event manager from its onPress handler:
 
 // doesn't work -- onPress doesn't have event parameter anyway...
 
 MovieClip(this).onPress = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, function
(event) {
   var comp : UIObject = null;
   for (var i : Number = 0; i  childDescriptors.length; i++) {
 comp = getChildAt(i);
 if (hitTest(comp)) {
   comp.handleEvent(event);
 }
   }
 });
 
 (Incidentally, if there is some other more appropriate way for 
iterating child components, I'd appreciate hearing about it).
 
 So Flash/Flex gurus ... what am I missing here...? Thanks!

 Sorry, I don't know if this works in the Flex 2 beta, but I should 
have specified that we're working with Flex 1.5 at Yahoo. 
Unfortunately, EventDispatcher states:
 
     function addEventListener(eventType:String,

     .

     .
 
 This would have been very convenient if it were implemented. 
Nevertheless, Button and other components do seem able to capture 
the event. Is this a question for one of the Flash lists (any 
recommendation to which list I should post this question)?

 you want to add your mouse event listener with useCapture set to

Thanks for the info. 

First, let me clarify that this is not how we intend to do login/auth. I was
merely trying to get the LoginModule to fire without going through any
server-side/flex/proxy.

Does this process only work if we try to access a restricted resource? That
is, if the first screen in my Flex app is the login page, can I post the
form to one of my own services (remote object), manually do the
handler/loginContext process as described in login.jsp below? Or does it
need to be posted to this j_security_check? If this login module/context
succeeds (login/commit), does it matter whether this was called through my
own code or from this mysterious j_security_check? (BTW, what is
j_security_check? A jsp, url to servlet handled by container,  I can do
the search on this myself, but if you want to answer, I'd certainly read it
:-))

Is there some standard way of handling an app that requires the user to
login prior to doing anything? For example, I see the app being launched
from a link/button on our web site. I want the login page to display. Do we
have this link/button point to some fake (or real) protected resource to
kick off the auth process?

As always, thanks for the education.

Jim

Actually, this doesn't look correct at all. You're trying to go about
this manually and that is not how J2EE security works.  For this to
work, you have to integrate with the container which means configuring
your servlet container to delegate all J2EE authentication/authorization
to your JAAS module.  After that, you then have to secure resources
within your web application however that's done in your container. For
things like Tomcat, this is done directly in web.xml. Your situation
here will likely be different. If you are using form auth, you then
point your flex form to post to j_security_check passing in j_username
and j_password.  If you are using basic auth, you will simply be
prompted by the browser for userid/password.  Regardless of which you
choose, the order of operations in the J2EE world is the following.

1. User requests a secure resource
2. Server responds with either the page you have configured for
credentials (Form auth) or with a request to the client(browser) to
garner then login information (Basic auth).
3. User enters credentials.
4. If successful, you now have an authenticated session that the server
is intimately familiar with.

To answer the next question, you cannot force these credentials into
J2EE authentication session manually. You have to go through the
server's provided interfaces.  Unfortunately, J2EE security is much too
broad a subject to get into in this medium. I've atttempted to give you
a brief outline of the process here so that you can pursue it within the
context of your container and its capabilities.  Given the frequency of
the questions surrounding this topic, we have submitted this topic as a
candidate for an upcoming DevNet article.

 Right, basically attempt to remove Flex from the equation for the
 moment, get your JAAS module to fire using credentials you pass in using
 the JSP.  Then after you've authenticated use the JSP to see if that
 newly created authenticated Principal is stored in the request.  If it
 isn't there then the problem is bigger than RemoteObject.

Tony, I had a similar problem in Flex 1.5 with a custom TitleWindow 
component that was receiving events from objects underneath it.  
Never did find out exactly why that was happening; non-100% alpha 
value, perhaps?  Anyway, I solved it by wrapping a simple check 
around the event handler that makes sure the target property of the 
event is the current object: 

if (event.target == this) { // handle the event... }

It might be worth trying that somewhere, like in a delegate for the 
mouseMove event or in handleEvent().

Hope that's of some help.

One of the great things of eclipse is the posibility to incorporate other plugins available for the platform.

I should have pointed out I was talking specifically about the 
custom floating toolbar you mentioned in point 2 of your original 
post.  It seems to me your toolbar is handling events from other 
components when it shouldn't.  Try putting the event.target test 
into your toolbar code; no need to put it into any other components.

[flexcoders] Handling NetStream Runtime Errors..?

Hi,
I have created a NetStream object that publishes video/audio via a 
NetConnection to Flash Media Server (Flex beta 1). I have setup a 
netStatus listener but find that some errors are reported as run-time 
errors and are not delivered to my netStatus handler. For example:

Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent: level=error, 
code=NetStream.Publish.BadName
at flex2FMS_1/flex2FMS_1::netStatus()

Is there something I can do to receive this event in an event handler?
Is there something I can do to stop the run-time error popup from appearing?

Yours truly,
-Brian

You need to specify no cache headers in
the page that returns the XML. What page technology are you using? If
you're using JSP, the following will do it.



response.setHeader(Cache-Control,
max-age=0, must-revalidate);

RE: [flexcoders] HttpService caching






I'm not a CFer by any stretch but I'm sure there is a way 
to add a header. I found a reference to the following.

CFHEADER NAME="Cache-Control"VALUE="max-age=0, must-revalidate"

I have no idea if that syntax is valid with what you're 
using. It appears to bea pretty old post.

RE: [flexcoders] Email System POP3/SMTP on Flex

2006-02-15 Thread Kevin Langdon






With Flex 2.0 it is possible to connect directly from 
client to mail servers, both IMAP or POP3. I have actually built some 
prototypes to prove it out but have not taken it further. I imagine that 
you will start to see some mail API's popup from different 
developers.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Mouse Event Filtering

Hey Doug - thanks for the input. This is a link to a screenshot that may help 
clear up the issue:
http://www.geocities.com/tonypujals/eventcapture.jpg

What the screenshot shows is that I dragged the toolbar over the TextArea 
component. Then, I dragged the toolbar just a little bit again ... which 
resulted in the highlighted text that you see displayed. In other words, the 
toolbar isn't handling events from other components when it shouldn't - the 
opposite is happening: other components are receiving events I don't want them 
to. When I mouse down and drag the toolbar, I want it to move without events 
propagating to components below it. I want the toolbar events to be consumed 
when they act upon the toolbar.

Also, what the picture doesn't show since Windows doesn't capture it in 
screenshots is that the mouse cursor over the toolbar is an i-beam cursor - 
which is what it should be when over text, but not over the toolbar. It is only 
an i-beam when it is not specifically over one of the toolbar buttons, just the 
toolbar gradient background Canvas.

Rather than using mouse handlers for the toolbar, I tried overriding the 
onMouseXXX methods of MovieClip in the hope perhaps that this would prevent 
some superclass behavior which forwards the mouse events to further processing, 
but it didn't help

I should have pointed out I was talking specifically about the 
custom floating toolbar you mentioned in point 2 of your original

 Tony, I had a similar problem in Flex 1.5 with a custom 
TitleWindow 
 component that was receiving events from objects underneath it.  
 Never did find out exactly why that was happening; non-100% alpha 
 value, perhaps?  Anyway, I solved it by wrapping a simple check 
 around the event handler that makes sure the target property of 
the 
 event is the current object: 
 
 if (event.target == this) { // handle the event... }
 
 It might be worth trying that somewhere, like in a delegate for 
the 
 mouseMove event or in handleEvent().
 
 Hope that's of some help.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder to ship with JDT? Eclipse plugins compatibility with Flex Builder 2?

the installer for beta 1 gives you the choice between framework only,
stand alone editor or plugin version. when you install the plugin
version you get asked to point to your eclipse directory.
not much more to say about it...well the zorn plugin now plays nice with all my other plugins so thats a good thing :)On 2/15/06, Carlos Rovira

I'm this days trying the new Flex Builder 2 and I notice two things that I would ask to this list:1.-
JDT plugin is not included in the bundle. The final release will ship
without this functionality? Why is to remove such useful
functionality?. Flex is not only a product for develop rich client
RIAs. Most of the times enterprise will use Java to code server side
part of RIAs. (and more if you take account that FES is a J2EE web
application). If not many people will have to open another IDE to code
the server side part of their applications.
2.- I was trying to throw a plugin compatible with Eclipse
3.1.x in the plugins folder of my Flex builder 2 installation and
nothing appears when I open Flex Builder 2. Is this normal?. One of the
great things of eclipse is the posibility to incorporate other plugins
available for the platform. For example the plugin I was trying to
install (JOPE) allows me to have access to my JOnAS application server
and is very useful to maintain my workflow in only one IDE.

I'm this days trying the new Flex Builder 2 and I notice two things that I would ask to this list:1.-
JDT plugin is not included in the bundle. The final release will ship
without this functionality? Why is to remove such useful
functionality?. Flex is not only a product for develop rich client
RIAs. Most of the times enterprise will use Java to code server side
part of RIAs. (and more if you take account that FES is a J2EE web
application). If not many people will have to open another IDE to code
the server side part of their applications.
2.- I was trying to throw a plugin compatible with Eclipse
3.1.x in the plugins folder of my Flex builder 2 installation and
nothing appears when I open Flex Builder 2. Is this normal?. One of the
great things of eclipse is the posibility to incorporate other plugins
available for the platform. For example the plugin I was trying to
install (JOPE) allows me to have access to my JOnAS application server
and is very useful to maintain my workflow in only one IDE.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Mouse Event Filtering

Yes, that's exactly the similarity -- but an obscured component should not even 
have to be aware of a toolbar component above it. It should not receive a 
mouseDown event if the component above is handling it. It's only my toolbar 
canvas that seems to allow events to pass through to the TextArea below it -- 
the toolbar buttons don't.

As far as code, I'll create a streamlined example that should make it a little 
easier to see what I'm talking about  Thanks again, Doug.

Yeah, it's possible this is something entirely different from my

Can you post some code?

 Hey Doug - thanks for the input. This is a link to a screenshot 
that may help clear up the issue:
 http://www.geocities.com/tonypujals/eventcapture.jpg
 
 What the screenshot shows is that I dragged the toolbar over the 
TextArea component. Then, I dragged the toolbar just a little bit 
again ... which resulted in the highlighted text that you see 
displayed. In other words, the toolbar isn't handling events from 
other components when it shouldn't - the opposite is happening: 
other components are receiving events I don't want them to. When I 
mouse down and drag the toolbar, I want it to move without events 
propagating to components below it. I want the toolbar events to be 
consumed when they act upon the toolbar.
 
 Also, what the picture doesn't show since Windows doesn't capture 
it in screenshots is that the mouse cursor over the toolbar is an i-
beam cursor - which is what it should be when over text, but not 
over the toolbar. It is only an i-beam when it is not specifically 
over one of the toolbar buttons, just the toolbar gradient 
background Canvas.
 
 Rather than using mouse handlers for the toolbar, I tried 
overriding the onMouseXXX methods of MovieClip in the hope perhaps 
that this would prevent some superclass behavior which forwards the 
mouse events to further processing, but it didn't help
 
 Argh...

 I should have pointed out I was talking specifically about the 
 custom floating toolbar you mentioned in point 2 of your original 
 post.  It seems to me your toolbar is handling events from other 
 components when it shouldn't.  Try putting the event.target test 
 into your toolbar code; no need to put it into any other 
components.

  Tony, I had a similar problem in Flex 1.5 with a custom 
 TitleWindow 
  component that was receiving events from objects underneath it.  
  Never did find out exactly why that was happening; non-100% 
alpha 
  value, perhaps?  Anyway, I solved it by wrapping a simple check 
  around the event handler that makes sure the target property of 
 the 
  event is the current object: 
  
  if (event.target == this) { // handle the event... }
  
  It might be worth trying that somewhere, like in a delegate for 
 the 
  mouseMove event or in handleEvent().
  
  Hope that's of some help.

[flexcoders] LinkBar questions - Flex 1.5

2006-02-15 Thread Graham, Jason











The LinkBar appears not to scroll, if I hook it up to a view
stack with say 15 items in the view stack it causes the application to resize
to the length of the LinkBar which can be very long.



Is this a bug? Is there a way to fix this? I have tried to
turn on the hScrollPolicy to no avail.

Yes, that's exactly the similarity -- but an obscured component should not even 
have to be aware of a toolbar component above it. It should not receive a 
mouseDown event if the component above is handling it. It's only my toolbar 
canvas that seems to allow events to pass through to the TextArea below it -- 
the toolbar buttons don't.

As far as code, I'll create a streamlined example that should make it a little 
easier to see what I'm talking about  Thanks again, Doug.

Yeah, it's possible this is something entirely different from my 
situation, but I think there is still the similarity that an 
obscured ocmponent is acting as if it's not obscured.

Can you post some code?

 Hey Doug - thanks for the input. This is a link to a screenshot 
that may help clear up the issue:
 http://www.geocities.com/tonypujals/eventcapture.jpg

 What the screenshot shows is that I dragged the toolbar over the 
TextArea component. Then, I dragged the toolbar just a little bit 
again ... which resulted in the highlighted text that you see 
displayed. In other words, the toolbar isn't handling events from 
other components when it shouldn't - the opposite is happening: 
other components are receiving events I don't want them to. When I 
mouse down and drag the toolbar, I want it to move without events 
propagating to components below it. I want the toolbar events to be 
consumed when they act upon the toolbar.

 Also, what the picture doesn't show since Windows doesn't capture 
it in screenshots is that the mouse cursor over the toolbar is an i-
beam cursor - which is what it should be when over text, but not 
over the toolbar. It is only an i-beam when it is not specifically 
over one of the toolbar buttons, just the toolbar gradient 
background Canvas.

 Rather than using mouse handlers for the toolbar, I tried 
overriding the onMouseXXX methods of MovieClip in the hope perhaps 
that this would prevent some superclass behavior which forwards the 
mouse events to further processing, but it didn't help

 Argh...

 I should have pointed out I was talking specifically about the 
 custom floating toolbar you mentioned in point 2 of your original 
 post.  It seems to me your toolbar is handling events from other 
 components when it shouldn't.  Try putting the event.target test 
 into your toolbar code; no need to put it into any other 
components.

  Tony, I had a similar problem in Flex 1.5 with a custom 
 TitleWindow 
  component that was receiving events from objects underneath it.  
  Never did find out exactly why that was happening; non-100% 
alpha 
  value, perhaps?  Anyway, I solved it by wrapping a simple check 
  around the event handler that makes sure the target property of 
 the 
  event is the current object:

RE: [flexcoders] getting a compile error running the 'custom event' flex 2 example

Sorry, looks like we screwed up the explorer and it should have included
this:

package
{
import flash.events.Event;

public class LogonEvent extends flash.events.Event
{

public var userId : String;
public var password : String;

public function LogonEvent(_userId:String, _password:String)
{
super(logon);
userId = _userId;
password = _password;
}

}
}

Hi
I just copied and pasted the 'Events/ Using a Custom Event Class' 
example from the following link 
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flex_samples/flex_explorer/explorer.html

into flex builder2 but i get the compile error Type annotation is not 
a compile-time constant: LogonEvent in my test flex app.

its the following line

public function logonHandler(event:LogonEvent):void 

i suppose it doesnt know what a LogonEvent is. 
what am i missing ? i only copied and pasted the whole demo.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: setUsernamePassword and J2EE login (bounce)

Based on your results (and without me trying anything or digging too
much) it does seem like when JBoss uses your module it is not storing
the principal.  For JBoss are you using Tomcat as the web container?
Check the resources we shipped with 1.5 and see if the Tomcat login
adapter might provide what you need rather than approaching with JAAS?

(bounce)

Thanks for the info. 

First, let me clarify that this is not how we intend to do login/auth. I
was
merely trying to get the LoginModule to fire without going through any
server-side/flex/proxy.

Does this process only work if we try to access a restricted resource?
That
is, if the first screen in my Flex app is the login page, can I post the
form to one of my own services (remote object), manually do the
handler/loginContext process as described in login.jsp below? Or does it
need to be posted to this j_security_check? If this login module/context
succeeds (login/commit), does it matter whether this was called through
my
own code or from this mysterious j_security_check? (BTW, what is
j_security_check? A jsp, url to servlet handled by container,  I can
do
the search on this myself, but if you want to answer, I'd certainly read
it
:-))

Is there some standard way of handling an app that requires the user to
login prior to doing anything? For example, I see the app being launched
from a link/button on our web site. I want the login page to display. Do
we
have this link/button point to some fake (or real) protected resource to
kick off the auth process?

As always, thanks for the education.

Jim

Actually, this doesn't look correct at all. You're trying to go about
this manually and that is not how J2EE security works.  For this to
work, you have to integrate with the container which means configuring
your servlet container to delegate all J2EE authentication/authorization
to your JAAS module.  After that, you then have to secure resources
within your web application however that's done in your container. For
things like Tomcat, this is done directly in web.xml. Your situation
here will likely be different. If you are using form auth, you then
point your flex form to post to j_security_check passing in j_username
and j_password.  If you are using basic auth, you will simply be
prompted by the browser for userid/password.  Regardless of which you
choose, the order of operations in the J2EE world is the following.

1. User requests a secure resource
2. Server responds with either the page you have configured for
credentials (Form auth) or with a request to the client(browser) to
garner then login information (Basic auth).
3. User enters credentials.
4. If successful, you now have an authenticated session that the server
is intimately familiar with.

To answer the next question, you cannot force these credentials into
J2EE authentication session manually. You have to go through the
server's provided interfaces.  Unfortunately, J2EE security is much too
broad a subject to get into in this medium. I've atttempted to give you
a brief outline of the process here so that you can pursue it within the
context of your container and its capabilities.  Given the frequency of
the questions surrounding this topic, we have submitted this topic as a
candidate for an upcoming DevNet article.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: setUsernamePassword and J2EE login

Is this a valid test for this? I've verified that the login.jsp fires
the
JAAS login module and I do get the principal object back. In both jsps
(login.jsp and verify.jsp), the user/principal information is null.
(BTW,
I've tried using the JBoss-supplied DatabaseServerLoginModule and my own
to
check for differences. None)

Can we conclude from this that the JBoss JAAS module is not setting the
principal information?
