[flexcoders] Session Management using Flex
Hi all, I'm new to Flex so bear with me. We have an existing application that we are adding user management to (login process, authentication etc). We want the capability of disallowing multiple users from logging on with the same username/password. Ideal situation is that when one user has logged in, no other user is allow to log in with the same username/password. Of course this would mean that the system would need to know when the first user has logged out (otherwise the user would never be able to log in again). A second option is when the second user logs in, the first user will be disallowed to continue as the system has checked that the first user has an invalid session. In this case, on every backend request, the system has to authenticate the user and make sure the user is logged in only once. So the questions: 1. Can the system ever know when a user has logged out in a browser environment where the user can easily close the browser without going through some sort of logging out process? 2. If we implement the second option, instead of doing a major overhaul of every method call and adding an extra parameter for the user details (e.g. username, password, session id etc), is there an existing flex functionality that provide some sort of session id that we can check which will allow us to see if the request is made from the 1st user or the 2nd user? 3. Does the AMF gateway allow some sort of session management that we can leverage for disallowing multiple users logging in with same username/password without refactoring all the backend request methods? Any help would be much appreciated. Kam. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Fair play? Video games influencing politics.

Hi, Can anyone help? Does anyone know how to show the errorString in the Flex Actionscript directly, and not relying on the user mouseOver?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: PreferencesWindow design pattern
As already suggested: Is it not possible to have a setup() method called from the creationComplete event that sets the values held in the Model Locator into the text inputs? On selecting cancel the window closes and no data changes. On saving, the data is wrapped in a VO, courtesy of a view helper and written to the Model Locator (and anywhere else you wish to store these preferences).

RE: [flexcoders] Disabling toolbar of IE
Sandip, Firstly, let me agree with Sree in his useful comments to you yesterday, there is a possibility that you are going about this in too much of an html way rather than flex way. Disabling anything like buttons/toolbars is going to really annoy your users, as its their choice whether or not they are there, not yours. I gather you are trying to avoid the user reloading the app from the beginning, well why not store a session variables/cookies etc that maintains state/navigation or whatever, then if the user does hit refresh you can query your session vars and navigate accordingly from within your flex app. Cheers, Nick From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sandip_patil01Sent: 06 December 2005 08:41To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] Disabling toolbar of IE Hi All,I tried various ways to handle back refresh button but its not working.So anybody know how to disable toolbar of IE in Flex.So that user will not able to hit Back/refresh button of IE.S P -- 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: Session Management using Flex
First off, I strongly reccomend not trying to roll your own security solutions. J2EE includes a very robust and well tested security model. Every J2EE server supports pretty much the same level of security services. There is no need to go out and develop your own. Flex integrates into the normal J2EE session security extremely well. You requirements are a bit different from the out of the box J2EE security but can be easily implemented via a JAAS plug-in extension to the container. So the questions: 1. Can the system ever know when a user has logged out in a browser environment where the user can easily close the browser without going through some sort of logging out process? Yes and no. You cannot tell (easily) when someone closes their browser but you can tell when their credentials are no longer valid. There are events which fire when a J2EE session expires. You could detect that and remove them from a list of logged in users. 2. If we implement the second option, instead of doing a major overhaul of every method call and adding an extra parameter for the user details (e.g. username, password, session id etc), is there an existing flex functionality that provide some sort of session id that we can check which will allow us to see if the request is made from the 1st user or the 2nd user? I cannot find a way to express strongly enough that the idea of adding parameters to each method call to pass security credentials is a security whole as big as a fire truck. This allows a man in the middle to very easily hijack another users session and simulate their login, thereby doing things like executing transactions by pretending to be someone else. If you use standard J2EE session based security flex will transparantly inherit the normal J2EE session. Here is how I would build this. Create a custom JAAS plugin that tracks active logins via some map. When a user logs in you add their id to the map. When they log out, you remove it. When their session expires automatically you remove it. (yes there will be lag there). If a user tries to login twice, tell the JAAS plugin to deny them. 3. Does the AMF gateway allow some sort of session management that we can leverage for disallowing multiple users logging in with same username/password without refactoring all the backend request methods? Let the container do this. This solution works identially over all data access layers as well. Flex just integrates so beautifully with J2EE security the last thing you want to do is try to roll your own security, especially by passing credentials all over. -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.

RE: [flexcoders] Disabling toolbar of IE
Sandip, Forget about browser specifics like the refresh button, listen for events broadcast by your flex app instead, to give you an indication of whats going on. For example, the initialize event could be used to determine if your application/component has started, or if the refresh button has been pressed and forced the app to begin re-loading itself. Im really new to Flex myself, and Im sure some of the veterans of the list have better approaches to this...

[flexcoders] Re: Session Management using Flex
Dave, Thanks! Any other option other than using a J2EE application server for implementing JAAS for security? Are there existing features in Flex that we can utilise? Our application up to now has been quite simple in its deployment using a tomcat server. We're up against time in getting it into production, and deployment into a J2EE server at this stage may not be right for us at the moment. I agree with you that utilising J2EE would be simpler. Would there be a significant overhead migrating a previosly tomcat deployment to a J2EE application server such as JBoss? Issues with performance etc? We're not utilising EJB in our biz logic. The application is mainly alot of reads from the database and some calculations.

Re: [flexcoders] Disabling toolbar of IE/ RIAs and the Refresh button- a potential usability problem
Sandip, here is link to how u can detect the refresh button. http://www.codeproject.com/internet/detecting_the_ie_refresh.asp You are on your own from here :-). I am sure nobody on this forum is really interested in this. This has nothing to do with Flex. Having said that, there is something that I was thinking on this topic. In the wide web world, an internet application that is aimed at the normal user (unordained in the RIA world), it is possible that the user clicks on the refresh button to reload some data, the same way he/she is used to in the HTML world. Then there IS a problem. And I know this is not a Flex problem. This is a problem with ANY RIA. It might be raked up somebody like Jacob Nielsen who once famously said and I quote "About 99% of the time, the presence of Flash on a website constitutes a usability disease. Although there are rare occurrences of good Flash design (it even adds value on occasion), the use of Flash typically lowers usability. In most cases, we would be better off if these multimedia objects were removed. Flash tends to degrade websites for three reasons: it encourages design abuse, it breaks with the Web's fundamental interaction principles, and it distracts attention from the site's core value." http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20001029.html (that I discarded it to the same folder that contains the article that said Frames are kludges that break important parts of the Web and Why Frames Suck is the truth for I cannot imagine the LiveDocs without frames!) ... that then resulted in Flash Usability Article from Macromedia that said Flash 99% good ... http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/flash99good.html At the end of all the agreement is that technologies such as Flash are moving the user OUT of the restrictions and constraints of a browser - whatever browser that is. I would even like to see a RIA browser that does not have the REFRESH, BACK,FORWARD buttons in them! For the current problem, I think the best solution is to provide a eye-catching icon next to a datagrid or any container that invites the user to click if needs to refresh the data and I think Flex handles it wuite beautifully. Infact that is the strength and foundation of an RIA technology! Sree Nick Weekes wrote: Sandip, Forget about browser specifics like the refresh button, listen for events broadcast by your flex app instead, to give you an indication of whats going on. For example, the initialize event could be used to determine if your application/component has started, or if the refresh button has been pressed and forced the app to begin re-loading itself.

[flexcoders] Variable Initialization Bug? Data Binding Issues in Flex 1.5
OK, help me outhere, 'cause I've been scratchin' my head a little too hard on this one... What I'm trying to do is setup a simple static class to use as a pointer to my main, global model, from within my MXML components. I've been running into some interesting behavior that I can't explain, and I'm wondering if anyone can help shed some light. (Couldn't find much help in the docs or forums) I'm seeing that when I'm at the mx:Application level and I try to bind to a global variable that is initialized from the static class I mentioned above, no binding takes place unless I initialize the var after creationComplete(). This is NOT required however, when I'm trying to use the same type of binding in a component. (The var seems to initialize fine) I should mention that I've also tested this using a normal class (var resource:String = new com.StaticResource().test;), and also a singleton class (var resource = com.StaticResource.getInstance().test;). No difference. Any thoughts? Sample Code ! StaticResource.as --- class com.StaticResource { public static var test:String = Bliggidy!;} ! ! testStaticBinding.mxml --- ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml creationComplete=doCreated() mx:Script![CDATA[ // Does not work here, only at component level!//var resource:String = com.StaticResource.test;var resource:String;function doCreated() {// Var must be set AFTER creationComplete in // order to bind successfully!resource = com.StaticResource.test;} ]]/mx:Scriptmx:HBoxmx:Label text=Parent Level: /mx:Label text={resource} //mx:HBox components:testStaticBindingComponent xmlns:components=components.* //mx:Application ! !-- testStaticBindingComponent.mxml--- ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?mx:HBox xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml mx:Script ![CDATA[ // Does NOT need to wait for creationComplete() in order to // bind successfully! var componentResource:String = com.StaticResource.test; //OK... ]] /mx:Script mx:Label text=Component Level: / mx:Label text={componentResource} //mx:HBox !

[flexcoders] Unable to retrieve data via HTTPService over https in *IE*.
I have a flex application that works perfectly when deployed under http. However, when I attempt to connect via https none of the HTTPService calls return successfully. The odd thing is that this only occurs when using https on Internet Explorer (6.0). Both Firefox (1.5) and Opera (8.51) work fine under both http and https. Some additional information: - The fault code from the HTTPService is: fault: (Object) faultcode: Client.Disconnected (String) faultstring: Could not retrieve data. (String) - I am *not* using the flex proxy. - Calling the HTTPService URL directly from the browser works fine. It's only when flex attempts to call it from the client. - Tomcat 5.5 is the web-server. - I added the following crossdomain.xml to both the server root and the context root (to no avail). cross-domain-policy allow-access-from domain=* secure=false / /cross-domain-policy Again, this is only an issue with IE.

[flexcoders] Re: Session Management using Flex
Doug is correct. When I referred to using a J2EE application server I referred to something like Tomcat. We are *huge* Tomcat fans (and if you track my prior rants I think my position on EJB is well known LOL). Tomcat totally supports JAAS (yes there is a JAASRealm valve which enables your JAAS plugin). We use this in several of our applications. JAAS lets us do things like have a custom user data store (RDBMS) and to implement login rules like 1) Dictionary attack protection. We use heuristics to detect if a hacker is trying to guess passwords and lock the account out 2) Third party federated assertions. For instance, yeah they're username and password checks out with us, but lets check with a third party and make sure they're still allowed to access the system You can use JAAS inside Tomcat to do exactly what you want here. It does take a Java developer who knows how to write JAAS. -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.

Where is Dave Wolf on this, eh? :) You can implement JAAS stuffs on Tomcat and utilise this with Flex. I think this involves something called valves in Tomcat.

Any other option other than using a J2EE application server for implementing JAAS for security? Are there existing features in Flex that we can utilise? Our application up to now has been quite simple in its deployment using a tomcat server. We're up against time in getting it into production, and deployment into a J2EE server at this stage may not be right for us at the moment. I agree with you that utilising J2EE would be simpler. Would there be a significant overhead migrating a previosly tomcat deployment to a J2EE application server such as JBoss? Issues with performance etc? We're not utilising EJB in our biz logic. The application is mainly alot of reads from the database and some calculations. Thanks, Kam. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Dave Wolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: First off, I strongly reccomend not trying to roll your own security solutions. J2EE includes a very robust and well tested security model. Every J2EE server supports pretty much the same level of security services. There is no need to go out and develop your own. Flex integrates into the normal J2EE session security extremely well. You requirements are a bit different from the out of the box J2EE security but can be easily implemented via a JAAS plug-in extension to the container. So the questions: 1. Can the system ever know when a user has logged out in a browser environment where the user can easily close the browser without going through some sort of logging out process? Yes and no. You cannot tell (easily) when someone closes their browser but you can tell when their credentials are no longer valid. There are events which fire when a J2EE session expires. You could detect that and remove them from a list of logged in users. 2. If we implement the second option, instead of doing a major overhaul of every method call and adding an extra parameter for the user details (e.g. username, password, session id etc), is there an existing flex functionality that provide some sort of session id that we can check which will allow us to see if the request is made from the 1st user or the 2nd user? I cannot find a way to express strongly enough that the idea of adding parameters to each method call to pass security credentials is a security whole as big as a fire truck. This allows a man in the middle to very easily hijack another users session and simulate their login, thereby doing things like executing transactions by pretending to be someone else. If you use standard J2EE session based security flex will transparantly inherit the normal J2EE session. Here is how I would build this. Create a custom JAAS plugin that tracks active logins via some map. When a user logs in you add their id to the map. When they log out, you remove it. When their session expires automatically you remove it. (yes there will be lag there). If a user tries to login twice, tell the JAAS plugin to deny them. 3. Does the AMF gateway allow some sort of session management that we can leverage for disallowing multiple users logging in with same username/password without refactoring all the backend request methods?

RE: [flexcoders] offset in ColumnChart.
Hi Ely, Thanks for your reply, it works!!! Thanks so much!!

The maxColumnRatio, maxColumnWidth, and offset properties aremanaged automatically by the ColumnChart to give you clustering orstacking behavior. If you want to manage them yourself, you should use aCartesianChart instead, and set the values explicitly on the individualColumnSeries.Ely.-Original Message-From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] OnBehalf Of DanSent: Monday, December 05, 2005 5:32 PMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] offset in ColumnChart.Importance: HighHi,Does anyone has try the offset of Column chart?

[flexcoders] Re: (Flex 2.0) Slider.labels bug?
Thanks for the responses Matt and Sreenivas. For those interested my, work-around for this was to simply remove the exiting slider, and add a replacement at the same place in the child stack (within an VBox). myBox.removeChildAt() and myBox.addChildAt(). One other thing tho - I tried setting this up with a myBox.getChildIndex(myBox.getChildByName()) with no success (also a bug in getChildByName? - assuming name implies id value) instead I simply wrapped the sliders in an VBox to restrict their child order placement to known values. I also noticed a similar issue using state change overrides for things like simple Link items (changing click functionality). Until the next release I've been doing 'state' changes purely programmatically, and when in doubt doing a remove/add child to update my components.
