[flexcoders] Re: How to make an RPC call secure
Hi jitendra,
Thank you for your reply, I'm doing form-based login and different
role creation. My doubt is even if I didn't give role , The User who
knows my remote methods can call these methods from his client(suppose
he created a new GUI with my remote methods). How can I block it?,
https also giving secure transmission not blocking to access remote
method.
I think more knowledge in session Id could get a solution , because
if it is a Struts-J2EE transcation J2EE will check session Id.
FlexContext. getFlexSession( ) is a Static method na? , How It can
give sessionId for each user? These are my doubts.
Regards,
Razak

2) Try to create different roles(Security-roles),. For this u need

3)Form-Based Authentication is least secured.

HI Jitendra,
Thanks for your kind reply,
Let me to explain my question in detail .
suppose I have a small banking application
a)I want ensure user's login
b) user can request a loan
c) admin can approve loan
d) admin can enter payment details etc...
For this I have provided a flex GUI to login , modules to enter loan
request details , approve details, payment details etc..
I gave the following remote calls and implemented with J2ee
createLoanRequest
searchLoanDetls
approveLoanDetails
changeLoanStatus
insertLoanInstallme ntDetls
Also I gave appropriate menus for user and admin depends on their
privilege.
My doubt is like this
i) Suppose admin logged in the application and doing some
transaction. at the same time some hacker (who understands my remote
methods ) calling some remote methods. trying to change some methods.
It is from a different machine. is it happen...? , commonly J2EE uses
session Id to handle this case, In this case may I need to use
Session(Thanks Jitendra for ur session help).
ii) Have any common method to use a validator for each method call.?
iii) If I'm wrong pls help me with the theoretical reason.

[flexcoders] Re: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch using read/writeobject in AIR
BTW, If you guys test my example doen't show any error. But is not
complete. Let me show you some code:
My Class:
package {
[Bindable]
[RemoteClass(alias='MyClass')]
public class MyClass {
public function MyClass(mystring:String) {
}
}
}
Save and open:
private function onInit():void{
var arr:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection ();
var obj1:MyClass = new MyClass('uno');
var obj2:MyClass = new MyClass('dos');
var obj3:MyClass = new MyClass('tres');
arr.addItem(obj1);
arr.addItem(obj2);
arr.addItem(obj3);
var file:File =
File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath('test.data');
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
stream.writeObject(arr);
stream.close(); //Saves an AC
var streamR:FileStream = new FileStream();
streamR.open(file, FileMode.READ);
var arrnew:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
while(streamR.bytesAvailable){
arrnew = streamR.readObject() as ArrayCollection; //ERROR
trace(arrnew);
}
streamR.close();
}
The problem is using the [RemoteClass(alias='MyClass')] to register the
class. If I dont use the tag in the class declaration, my example works
ok. Any idea? Could be a bug?
Do I need to specify any other parameter in the RemoteClass tag?

Re: [flexcoders] Java-like equals() method?
Frank, There's no .equals() in actionscript unless you implement it yourself. Without hearing more about the context, it's hard to tell whether Jitendra's data binding solution would work for this specific problem (data binding would effectively set the list selection to an object that is not in the list--I'm not sure what happens there), but you might run into a need for .equals() further down the line. We did, and since all of our VOs inherit from one VO base object, we just implement .equals() in these as necessary. It seems rather horrifying that there's no .equals() at first, but you don't really need it that often... -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -Original Message- From: frank_sommers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Java-like equals() method? Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:54:18 - Hi, I've been searching for a good solution to implementing object equality. I'm familiar with ObjectUtil, etc., but it still makes things harder than they should be. It may be best to illustrate this with an example. Suppose I have a ComboBox with an ArrayCollection as a data provider. The ArrayCollection is populated with value objects from the server, e.g., User objects. Suppose that I have a Task class, and a Task may have an assignedToUser property, which is a User instance. When the someone selects a Task (say, in a master-detail view), I would like the ComboBox to set its selectedItem to the user for the given Task, i.e., combBox.selectedItem = myUser.assignedToUser. The problem is that no Task in the ComboBox's data provider and the User's assignedToUser property are ever equal using the == or === operators. So I would like to implement a custom equality for User, and have the ComboBox use that to set its selectedItem to the specified user. In Java, this is easily done by overriding the equals() and hashCode() methods of User. Any suggestions on how to achieve something similar in Flex would be much appreciated. Thanks, -- Frank

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to make an RPC call secure
Yes you are right.. It is a static method and returns the Session for the
current request. so you can use getId method of this class.
Moreover if you think of calling the remote methods from other GUI is not
possible because they are in .class files.
However flex sends the remote method as a string (AMF)to the servlet(I guess)
and Servlet converts those into the actual calls.
This link will help you how the message is converted:

Well, it's been a while but I've finally been able to get back to this.
Unfortunately, there are cases where this simply won't work. For example:

new ArrayCollection([
{x:1, y:1, z:10},
{x:2, y:2, z:20},
{x:3, y:3, z:30},

])

There is no way you can rearrange the second data such that it won't screw

Explication:
Your order is sorted according to Z field and after that the
colors are attributed. So when you change the z value for (1,1) element this
will be second value from red ball (3,3) not (2,2) because the order is made
according to z value.
*I also attached a small graphic explication in order.pdf (order
matters) file.
*I hope that is what you want. Have a nice day.

What happens is that the blue bubble swaps places with the green bubble
and then grows to the size of the green bubble. What I want is for the blue
bubble to just grow in place and have the green bubble stay put. Is there
some way I'm missing to tell the chart to pay attention to the order of the
data? I thought maybe it had something to do with transitionRenderData, but
the documentation on it is rather ... brief.

Trying to setup some Alias paths, within Apache, exposing resources available on a Storage Area Network.

Access permissions are defined by a Domain Controller. So, the question is, how do you cover the same directory authorization within an Apache configuration?

[flexcoders] Error #1063: Argument count mismatch using read/writeobject in AIR
Hi, I'm using AMF format storing and retrieving objects using write and
readobject() in AIR.
But I have a problem. Let's say this is my class: (simple, no params in
constructor)
ActionScript Code:
public class MyClass {
public function MyClass():void {
}
}
Then, I create an ArrayCollection (and save the arraycollection object
to the file) with instances of this class. This is working ok, I can
save, open and retrieve, iterate objects in the stored arraycollection
just fine.
BUT, if my class have any parameter in the constructor, my code fails
retrieving the arraycollection
Something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath('Data.data');
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
var myAC:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
while(stream.bytesAvailable){
myAC = stream.readObject() as ArrayCollection;//ERROR Error #1063:
Argument count mismatch
}
Any idea ..?

RE: [flexcoders] open the other website
If you want the new url to open in the current window, *replacing* the Flex app, use _self in place of _blank. If you want the new site to open *within* the flex app, it is much harder. Flex, running in the Flash Player, cannot render full html.

[flexcoders] Errror while accessing mxml component in external as file
Hi Guys
I am trying to implement the login form . The login form works fine
when i use script and put all the action script in the main mxml file.
But my requirements is to put all the action script in external as
file and make things working. For some reason the builder does not
like my login button, user name text and password text in the as file.
Initially it does not recognize those components but then i user
parent::loginbutton to access which solves the compile time problem,
but gives type coercion error in my project as
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
mx.containers::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to Namespace.
I like to define my login and password text input in the main mxml
file and like to write the business logic in external as file.
Please let me know what i am missing.If you can provide someone who
has done that, that will be helpful too.
Thanks a lot for your help.

[flexcoders] Troubleshooting Invalid Embed
I'd appreciate some help troubleshooting this Flexbuilder error, as I don't
recall how I resolved it the last time it drove me crazy:
Invalid Embed directive in stylesheet - can't resolve source
'Embed(assets/images/dollar_large.png)'.FooAppline 7
First of all there's no style sheet. Secondly the error message refers to
line 7 of a resource which is not a file. Thirdly, the error disappears
temporarily if I touch the library by unchecking and re-checking src in
the Classes tab.
FooApp is a tiny project which references a library with the following
Maven-compatible layout:
FooLib
..src
main
..flex
com
..locales
en_US
..images.properties
..text.properties
ja_JP
..text.properties
..resources
assets
..images
dollar_large.png
test
images.properties contains the following:
dollar_large=Embed(assets/images/dollar_large.png)
The main source folder is src/main/flex and the additional source folders
are:
src/test/flex
src/main/resources
src/main/locales/{locale}
The additional compiler args for both FooLib and FooApp are:
-locale en_US ja_JP -include-resource-bundles=images,text

Hi Maciek,
The click event pertains to the popup button itself. You can use that

[flexcoders] Resource Bundle Missing in AIR
I'm using localization on a flex project for a slightly different use. We have 2 projects that share the same code base, but we want to change some UI text that's displayed. So, we're using localization to swap certain text strings to be project specific. Everything works fine for the web version, but if I try to take that same localization setup and use it in our AIR version, it cannot find the required resource bundles. I've looked and they(web/AIR) appear to be set up identically. My locales are: en_US_ProjA and en_US_ProjB. The AIR compiler argument is -locale=en_US,en_US_ProjA. I only put the one project in to test getting the proper resource. My directories are: projRoot.src.locale.en_US.* projRoot.src.locale.en_US_ProjA.* projRoot.src.locale.en_US_ProjB.* When I debug a piece of localization code I see that the localeMap has 2 entries, en_US and en_US_ProjA. Both contain the same entries, but the properties files are pointing to different Obects. For example: en_US_ProjA$CairngormMessages_properties (@c3547b9). I should be seeing a UI_Text property file in the list of resource bundle objects, but it's missing. I'm stumped as to why it works just fine from a browser, but pukes in AIR. Thanks, Geoff

[flexcoders] Re: PopUpMenuButton.itemClick event
Actually itemClick should work for a PopupMenuButton. I misread your
question as PopupButton.

Hi Maciek,
The click event pertains to the popup button itself. You can use that
to open the menu:
mx:PopUpButton id=myPopupButton
creationComplete=initMyPopupButtonMenu()
click={ myPopupButton.open() }/
The change event is the one that you use when a menu item is selected:
private function initMyPopupButtonMenu():void
{
myMenu = new List();
var myMenuItemRenderer:ClassFactory = new
ClassFactory(myItemRenderer);
myMenuItemRenderer.properties = { labelField: myField };
myMenu.itemRenderer = myMenuItemRenderer;
myMenu.dataProvider = myDataProvider;
myMenu.addEventListener(change, myMenuChangeHandler);
myPopupButton.popUp = myMenu;
}

RE: [flexcoders] Remote calls are not happening using blazeDS in secured environment
You need to use a SecureAMFChannel to interact with a SecureAMFEndpoint.
It’s not clear from your emails why the server is receiving HTTP requests
rather than HTTPS requests. If you’re using a SecureAMFChannel on the client,
its requests will be sent via HTTPS.
If you have something in front of your server that’s handling HTTPS (say a
hardware SSL accelerator) that passes insecure HTTP requests back to the
server, you need to mix and match a secure channel class for the hop from the
client to the SSL appliance, with an insecure endpoint for the hop from the SSL
appliance to the app server. The config for this would be something like:
channel-definition id=secure-amf
class=mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel
endpoint url=https://{server.name}:{server.port}/secureamf;
class=flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint/
…
Note the secure channel class, secure endpoint URL and insecure endpoint class.
But again, you only need to configure things this way when you have a component
between the client and server handling SSL.
Hope that helps,
Seth

Hi All,
Even after adding my-secure-amf channel to remote-config. xml, our flex

I am seeing a failover to HTTP from a HTTPS request in the http url log, dont
know why it is failing over to
HTTP://context/messagebroker/ amf from HTTPS://context/messagebroker/

Actually this failover is not happening in DEV (in which we have both HTTP and
HTTPS enabled).
The problem is specific to QA env (weblogic+clustered +secured) , i dont have
any clues.
Can any body help me on this?

[flexcoders] Efficiency and objects in the display list
We have an app which adds 50 or 60 dynamically created and animated canvas-based objects to the display list as it runs. I've noticed when running this under the profiler that even though these canvas-based components are really simple (they have a draw function and a rotate function in them and don't import any other classes) they each add about 1 Mb to the overall memory consumed by the app. I've also tried making the components UIComponent based instead of using Canvas (as I believe it's a little more lightweight) but it doesn't seem to make a huge difference. Is there a better/more efficient way to dynamically create, draw, rotate and animate a bunch of small objects in a flex app? TIA Guy
[flexcoders] Problem with the DataGrid column keeps switching location
Hello, I have been working on a solution to make some sort of property grid in Flex and I have been using the DataGrid. Only I am experiencing some problems with it. The datagrid consists of two columns called name and value. The second value is a column where I used a custom itemRenderer to change the input editor based on given instructions in the dataProvider. Only I am sadly enough I am experiencing some strange problem with it. The problem is that when I am filling the dataProvider and later clear the dataProvider and then add some data again. The input editors in the second column don't match the title shown at the first column. The input editor will move one row time each time you are refilling it. I have made a Flex project which reproduces this problem. Does anyone know how this problem can be fixed? The download can be found at: www.dustyfrog.nl/dropbox/dbgrid_problem.zip Also does anyone know a better or different approach to accomplish the same in a way without the above mentioned problem? The code is based on code from Tink (I am bit disparate) Yours, Weyert
Re: [flexcoders] Problem with the DataGrid column keeps switching location
The problem is shown when you click a few times on the buttons.

[flexcoders] Tab Navigator/SWF Loader
Hi All, I've got a tab navigator in an app that's throwing a strange exception. What happens is that if you *click* on a tab, you don't see this error, but if you use the arrow keys to move to one of the tabs, you do. The tab in question is different from the others in that it's the only one that uses a swf loader to load a swf. I was earlier seeing an Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller message; I'm now seeing the one I've reproduced below. Has anyone seen a similar error or have any thoughts on how to proceed?

Re: [flexcoders] Smooth scrolling when setting verticalScrollPosition on TextArea
Oh, its fine - not choppy at all. I've even been toying with the idea of
doing something more acceleration based instead, but probably won't bother.
I scroll to a position where some text is newly selected. I just needed to
be careful that I only made the selection after the scrolling finished.
Otherwise, I think it jumps straight there when you make the selection...
Also, if the number of lines to be scrolled is below a certain minimum, I
base the duration on the number of lines (so it doesnt scroll too slow).
Above that minimum, I use a fixed duration.
private function verticalScrollToPosition(newPosition:int,
nextFunc:Function, durationInMillis:Number = SCROLL_DURATION_IN_MILLIS):void
{
var scrollEffect:AnimateProperty = new AnimateProperty(this)
scrollEffect.addEventListener(EffectEvent.EFFECT_END,
function(evt:EffectEvent):void {
if (nextFunc != null) {
nextFunc();
}
});
scrollEffect.property = verticalScrollPosition;
scrollEffect.toValue = newPosition;
// maybe possible to use scrollEffect.fromValue instead of
this.verticalScrollPosition?
var linesToScroll:int = Math.abs(newPosition -
this.verticalScrollPosition);
// don't go too slow
scrollEffect.duration = Math.min(durationInMillis, (1000 *
linesToScroll) /
MIN_SCROLL_SPEED);
scrollEffect.play();
}
I'd never heard of easing functions before. I'll check them out...
