Re: [flexcoders] HotFix 2 - brakes my WS Simple Header

[Dave Carabetta]

Well, in an extremely questionable decision, Adobe put a completely new Web
Services implementation in hotfix 2 -- and then decided not to mention it
anywhere in the release notes. Granted, the implementation is supposed to be
more standards compliant, but one could make a strong argument that a hotifx
with several other important fixes (including memory leaks) was not the time
to be introducing a core change like this.

Matt, Pete, Randy, or whoever else at Adobe can get this done, you guys
*really* need to update the Release Notes at
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb401825 to make people aware of this change. I know
you guys did your best to be backwards-compatible, but it's clear that there
are some holes and it's tripping people up.

There was no reference in the WSDL to UsernameToken, and all was good
and happy and Flex encoded the WS requests...

I needed to move to HF2 to use/test a fix to ArrayCollections.

Now running the same code & WSDL on HF2 I get:
[FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="Cannot resolve element
definition for name 'UsernameToken'" faultCode="EncodingError"
faultDetail="null"]

Someone off list was nice enough to suggest that I add the following
complexType to my WSDL, to aid Flex in the encoding:

http://service.abcd.com";>

http://model.abcd.com";>








...

And adding the enclosing namespace to the method call:

ws.addSimpleHeader("UsernameToken", "http://model.abcd.com";,
"username", username);
ws.addSimpleHeader("UsernameToken", "http://model.abcd.com";,
"password", password);

The only difference that has made was to change the fault message:
[FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="Cannot resolve element
definition for name 'http://model.abcd.com::UsernameToken'"
faultCode="EncodingError" faultDetail="null"]

---

I am really stuck. I need the fix to HF2 for ArrayCollections, but
can't run it because it breaks the WS requests, because they can't get
Encoded and out on the wire.

Does anyone know how to get Flex to encode this correctly on HF2...?
Has anyone else run into WS encoding issues on HF2..?

Many thanks,
Paul

 

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3.0 and FlexBuilder 2 - what's the plan?

[Dave Carabetta]

Hey Barry, I'm obviously not an Adobe employee so I'm not the "official"
word you're looking for, but here are my quick 2 cents...

Flex 3 isn't coming out anytime soon. If I had to guess (and I have no
insider info, just pure speculation), it seems like MAX in Chicago at the
end of September would be the launch platform for Flex 3. It's not even on
Labs yet for beta testing, and beta testing a product like Flex is no small,
quick process. As for licensing, Flex 2 to Flex 3 is a major revision, not a
maintenance release, so I'd expect there to be upgrade fees for the product,
though hopefully nominal. While Adobe is still targeting Flash Player 9 for
the release, that most certainly does not mean that there aren't going to be
compelling reasons to upgrade, and those enhancements cost money to develop,
right? Remember, Flex Builder is *not* part of the open sourcing of Flex, so
Adobe needs to make their money somewhere.

Whether or not you ask your boss to commit now or later is up to you. Either
way, you're going to be paying for Flex Builder at some point, so why wait?
Sure, you can develop Flex apps in any editor you wish, but the productivity
gains of using Flex Builder far outweigh the $750 cost of Flex Builder, as
you likely know. How much is an hour of your time worth? Let's say your
company bills $100/hour. In less than one working day you'll have paid for
the cost of the IDE. Further, you can't assume they're not going to raise
the price of the IDE down the road, so you might actually be better off
buying Flex Builder now to avoid having to pay full price for FB3 (again, I
want to stress that I have no information that I'm being coy aboutit's
just speculation).

Anyway, I don't want to ramble, but I definitely don't agree with your
premise that buying Flex Builder now is somehow bad timing. I think we're
still at least several months away from any official launch of Flex 3 and
you'll be missing out on building some amazing experiences if you decide to
wait until then. Besides, in my experience with Macromedia-now-Adobe, when
I've run into a situation where I've purchased software that was
subsequently upgraded or the licensing changed soon thereafter, I was very
well taken care of by my sales rep (read: Flex 1.5, which was $30,000 to
Flex 2, which was free). So I wouldn't worry too much about being ripped
off.

Dave.

Re: [flexcoders] Using Hibernate Association on Data Grid

[Dave Carabetta]

It sounds like you need a labelFunction for the DataGridColumn:

private function userNameLabelFunction( item : Object ) : String
{
  return item.firstName + ' ' + item.lastName;
}

and then in your DataGridColumn, just add this to the column's definition:

labelFunction="userNameLabelFunction"

Obviously, I don't know the setup of your Users object, so firstName and
lastName might not be appropriate, but hopefully you get the point and can
adapt the field references as appropriate.

I've been able to get a simple one-to-many association configured in
FDS and Hibernate. One table has Users, the other a list of records
that users created. I have a data grid that shows the list of records.
The list of records is returned correctly, but under the "createuser"
field where the user name should be displayed I get "[object Users]"
(which is the class that contains the user info). And I can't get
either the user id or the user name (which is what I really want)
diplayed in the grid.

How do you display the user in Flex? I have simple POJOs, have the AS
classes, and no errors in my logs. Can somebody clue me in?
I'll post some code snips if necessary.

 

Re: [flexcoders] where do I go to get the com.adobe.ac.mxeffects package?

Assuming you're using Flex 2.0.1 (because this is the updated package),
you're looking for the Distortion Effects found here:

And here's the supporting blog entry for how to use them:

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Goes Open Source

[Dave Carabetta]

Most definitely. In fact, outside of the bug base being made public in the
June timeframe along with some other infrastructure enhancements, you're
probably not going to be a whole lot change until after Flex 3 (aka "Moxie")
is released in the second half of this year. I say that because Adobe
employees will still be the sole "committers" of any changes to the SDK
through the end of the Flex 3 release cycle, so while you'll be able to
contribute before then, it's not guaranteed to make it into the Flex 3
release.

Definitely take some time and read the links below, as it's going to be
really easy for one slight mis-statement on these types of forums to skew
the reality of this announcement (including any made by me!):

This is probably OT, but I always wonder how do you install Flex

Do you:

a) reinstall every Eclipse plugin manually from the scratch from
"Software update" menu;

b) just copy "plugins" and "features" folders to the location
of new version of Eclipse IDE;

c) install new Eclipse IDE on the top of old Eclipse IDE

Re: [flexcoders] no code completion with cairngorm

[Dave Carabetta]

Code completion doesn't work with SWCs I don't think.

To solve your problem, you might just set up a second project in Flex
Builder called "Cairngorm 2.1" and then edit the "Project References" by
selecting the Cairngorm project in the Properties of the project that uses
it. This way, you don't have to copy all the CG framework code across your
projects -- it's managed from one central project.

Re: [flexcoders] Since flex 2.0.1

[Dave Carabetta]

John,

This link should give you all the info you need as far as what is changed
and fixed in the new release:

http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/2/releasenotes_flex201_sdk.html

Further, and I'm not saying it will definitely fix your problems, but you
may want to make sure you do a "clean" build just to make sure all remnants
of the 2.0 build are removed in favor of the 2.0.1 code base. That's found
under "Project -> Clean..." in Flex Builder.

Dave.

It would be nice if someone from Adobe would post documentation on what

"legacy" applications.

I for one have an application which is "crippled" since moving to 2.0.1...
moving back to 2.0.0 until I can debug what the solution should be?

Re: [flexcoders] Stylizing Accodrdion border

[Dave Carabetta]

Flex components are configurable via CSS styles. Have a go with the Flex 2
Style Explorer and then just cut and paste the resulting code it spits out
into an external stylesheet or a mx:Style tag.

http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/consulting/styleexplorer/Flex2StyleExplorer.html

Just be aware that the Style Explorer doesn't necessarily expose *every*
configurable option, so consult the LiveDocs for that component if you don't
see something there you need.

Dave.

Through the built in API help, Class "Accordion" has properties like
"selectedFillColors" and "textRollOverColor", but no border controls?
I want each :block" to be 1px solid black by default on all four

How can I achieve this?

Eric,

The default behavior of the multi-view components such as the
TabNavigator, ViewStack, and Accordion tags is to use deferred
instantiation of the content, so you're already set up to do what you
want out of the box. For more information on the creationPolicy
attribute (which drives this feature), check this page out in the
LiveDocs:

I have been using the Flash Tracer Firefox plugin with great success

You still need the debug player installed, but I have been able to
simply hit the non-Debug Run button in Flash Builder and I've been
good to go:

Also, don't forget about the LiveDocs, which are very well written:

and the Fled-dedicated site set up by Adobe:

http://www.flex.org/

You'll also see some blog feeds down the right column on Flex.org.
Definitely check those blogs out, as they are the "big" bloggers using
Flex, and there's tons of great information in there.

If the file is missing, then have you tried uninstalling and
re-installing the Flash Player? The Flex Builder installer lays down
the installers for you, though you'll need to download the uninstaller
from the Adobe site. Check out you FB insall directory under Flex
Builder 2\Player\debug for the players.

Hi Matt. A couple of questions:

1) What's the correct behavior supposed to be? Is Firefox or IE acting
correctly?

2) If Firefox is acting correctly, isn't that a pretty large security
hole in IE because I don't even need to put the -use-network=false
compiler flag in for it to execute my code? It just seems like this is
a bit more than a "known issue" and it should be fixed up and an
updated player released ASAP, no? I certainly don't want to yell
"FIRE" in a crowded room, but the Flash Player executing code outside
of the proper security sandbox is a pretty big deal, isn't it?

(OK, so it was more than a couple of questions.)

Regards,
Dave.

[flexcoders] FP 9 Sandbox Bug Between Firefox and IE?

[Dave Carabetta]

Hi. I was wondering if somebody can confirm for me whether or not I've
stumbled upon a Flash Player 9 bug. The source code is simply the
source code from Ted Patrick's Flex Builder 101 Breeze demo located at
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flextv_flexbuilder101.html.
I've also pasted it below for cut-and-paste purposes. Essentially, the
bug problem statement is that the Firefox plugin's default security
context seems to differ from the IE plugin's default context. When I
try to do a "View Source" on the published SWF, Firefox pops up the
"#2148" local file access error that many have seen while IE happily
displays the resulting source code SWF.

Here's the source code:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute"
backgroundGradientColors="[#ff, #ff]"
viewSourceURL="srcview/index.html">









As you can see, it's very plain stuff. If I right-click and do a
subsquent View Source in Firefox, this AS error pops up and no source
code is displayed:

SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file
file:///D:/flex_projects/MyFirstFlex/bin/MyFirstFlex.swf cannot access
local resource srcview/index.html. Only local-with-filesystem and
trusted local SWF files may access local resources.
at global/flash.net::navigateToURL()
at mx.core::Application/::menuItemSelectHandler()

Internet Explorer displays everything just fine.

But the plot thickens... I know about the -use-network=false switch to
add to the compiler settings so that local access is granted, so I
added that and re-published the project. Upon clicking the View Source
option, this time the source code is displayed in the right frame, but
I get this AS error popup when the SWF in the left frame tries to load
the source tree:

[RPC Fault faultString="Error #2148: SWF file
file:///D:/flex_projects/MyFirstFlex/bin/srcview/SourceTree.swf cannot
access local resource SourceIndex.xml. Only local-with-filesystem and
trusted local SWF files may access local resources."
faultCode="InvokeFailed" faultDetail="null"]
at 
mx.rpc::AbstractInvoker/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::invoke()
at 
mx.rpc.http.mxml::HTTPService/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::invoke()
at mx.rpc.http::HTTPService/send()
at mx.rpc.http.mxml::HTTPService/send()
at SourceTree/::startApplication()
at SourceTree/___Application1_creationComplete()
at 
flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at mx.core::UIComponent/set initialized()
at mx.managers::LayoutManager/::doPhasedInstantiation()

And, again, IE is fine and displays both pages in the frameset without
issue. My next thought was to verify the version of the Flash Player
that I'm running and they're both properly at 9,0,16, so that
eliminates that possibility.

Any ideas as to why there is an apparent difference in the default
security context between the two players? Is this, in fact, a bug or
known issue?

Regards,
Dave.

This was phenomenal too:

http://www.totaltraining.com/prod/adobe/flex2_ria.asp

I've done both the Lynda.com and the Total Training tutorials, and the
Total Training one was much more complete, in my opinion. The
Lynda.com set was great to get your feet wet, but you build some
nicely advanced components in the Total Training series, which is
definitely a best practice when it comes to breaking up your code.

Also, I know you said you went to Adobe's site, but Aral Balkan is
kicking butt with his continuing Quick Start series:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/?tab:quickstart=1

Make sure to check those out. I can't think of much more for him to
cover at this point.

Regards,
Dave.

There are definitely 2 serial numbers, as you can have FB without the

they placed the order with to track down the charting serial number.
We received two.

Re: [flexcoders] How does Flex 2.0 handle ColdFusion Query results?

[Dave Carabetta]

On 7/27/06, Mike Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:







Hello Dave and All,
 
I checked out the Article and it 
worked!!
 
But I am confused why it 
worked...  In some respects, I thought I was doing the same thing - but 
just in a different way.  I was wondering if you could explain why one 
piece of code works, and the code I originally used did NOT work.  For 
the example code below, you can all assume that I already declared a 
public variable called 'categories', and cast it as an 
ArrayCollection...
 
For starters, here is the code that 
works from the Article:
 
    categories = event.result as 
ArrayCollection;
 
And 
for the code that does NOT work:
 
categories = new ArrayCollection(event.result as 
Array);
    -or-
    categories = new 
ArrayCollection(event.result);
 
If I 
understand your post correctly, you are saying that the "Event Object" performs 
some type of "smart conversions" - only when it's being directly 
assigned to a variable?  And if that's true, this conversion never 
gets triggered, when it's placed inside of a Constructor (for example an 
ArrayCollection)?  This would explain why my code did not 
work.
 
I 
don't know - just thinking out loud here.  I would love to know more about 
how this all works, especially since there were so MANY massive changes from 
Flex 1.0 Beta, all the way to the latest release version (not to mention Flash 
Remoting, which the earliest versions of Flex had a lot of similarities 
to).  I am sure learning how this all works, will save me a LOT of 
headaches down the road - especially since I ONLY write Data-Driven applications 
(RIA's) which all make massive amounts of database 
calls.Hey Mike. First and very much foremost I just want to be clear that I'm new to ActionScript 3 myself and that my tips/advice are based purely on personal experience (as opposed to in-depth knowledge of the underlying intricacies of the framework). To that end, Mike Nimer (ColdFusion engineer extraordinaire) posted the difference between the two in anoth thread. If you don't mind, I'll just quote him because I think that he's going to be better at explaining this than I'll be!
Regarding why using the "as" keyword works, Nimer notes:"In ColdFusion all queries are returned as a true ArrayCollection objects, so you don't need to create your own. So with this syntax you are just casting, or telling the compiler, the variable that you already know the datatype of (ArrayCollection) is an real ArrayCollection."
Regarding why there are issues with using the ArrayCollection contructor:"Here you are telling the compiler the result is an Array, so you need to *create* a new ArrayCollection object based on this array."
My interpretation of the difference between the two is that the "as" keyword approach just re-inforces the already existing ArrayCollection datatype that is returned by ColdFusion while the second approach is casting an ArrayCollection to an Array, which I guess the compiler doesn't like. In the  third case you tried (categories = new ArrayCollection(
event.result)), I wouldn't expect it to work because the ArrayCollection class expects an Array as its constructor argument and you were passing in an ArrayCollection.Hope this helps?Again, I'm learning much as you're learning, so if you have any further insights/questions, this is the best place to ask!
Regards,Dave.

Hello Shannon :)
 
Yes, I am doing precisely that.  I was trying to avoid 
posting code, but it's the easiest way to show you everything I am trying to 
do.  You can assume too, that yes I am bringing back a valid RecordSet from 
ColdFusion, and the FieldNames match up exactly with what was brought 
back.  Since the data is all there, Flex for some reason, is not iterating 
through all the data and parsing it out properly.  I just have a hard time 
with this - since this works fine with my Flash Remoting app, and that I am 
bringing back a native Query Object from ColdFusion.  I must be missing 
something, or am not properly casting something.  As far as I can tell, I 
am properly coding the Grid Columns - but maybe I am not...  One last thing 
- I am running something similar to Flash's NetConnection Debugger - and I am 
for sure getting back a valid response from the CF Server - an Array of Objects, 
all properly formatted and casted.
 
If you could shed further light, as to why no data shows up 
in my DataGrid when the app runs, I'd be very grateful :)Mike,A bit has changed between 1.5 and 2.0 with regard to Flex, and for the better (aka easier). To that end, yesterday I blogged a post on using Arrays vs. ArrayCollections in Flex and, at the bottom, there is a semi-complete MXML application that shows calling an HTTPService and handling the results for display in the DataGrid. In short, the new ResultEvent class should make its way into your code, as that class is the one that has the "smarts" to handle ColdFusion queries and cast it to an appropriate local data structure. Watch for link wrapping:

[flexcoders] Flex Builder Problem: A console is not available

[Dave Carabetta]

Hi. I've just started having a problem with Flex Builder 2
(registered) where the Console tab constantly says "A console is not
available." I tried shutting the tab and created a fresh tab, but that
didn't do anything. I then shut down FB and did a launch of the IDE
with -clean appended to the .exe call, and that didn't do anything
either.

Anybody else seeing this or have any ideas? A Google search shows that
this was a problem with the 3.1 release (on which FB is based), but I
know it was working yesterday because I have been using it
extensively!

Regards,
Dave.

Re: [Junk E-Mail - LOW] [flexcoders] Returning query results to flex from CFC

[Dave Carabetta]

An alternative way to write the resultHandler() function would be:import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;[Bindable]private var companyInfo:ArrayCollection;private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
   companyInfo = event.result as ArrayCollection;}Essentially, the array type returned by ColdFusion is not exactly the same type of array that the Datagrid is expecting. So you have to "coerce" it into the correct datatype, which is what the "as ArrayCollection" bit is doing.

Yeah, I've posted feedback to them as well noting that their detection
scripts need to be updated. It's usually on their sub-pages (clicking
into a story link), and, like I said, it's usually only when it's the
Apple ad with the two dudes (using Flash Video rather than the
standard movie). If it were a clear repro (i.e., I could get the link
to the SWF before my browser crashes), I'd certainly post it.

[flexcoders] Flash Video Crash Frequency Becoming Alarming

[Dave Carabetta]

I posted this in the FP 9 forums, but it doesn't look like anybody
really pays attention to it, so I thought I'd re-post this to more
eyeballs to see what your experience has been:

I know that there is a final push to get FP 9 out the door by the end
of the month. However, I have to say that the frequency with which my
browsers are crashing, predominantly when the content is Flash Video,
is giving me some serious cause for alarm. In a browser like Firefox,
where there is one process for every window you have open, losing
multiple windows worth of work is immensely frustrating. I have
submitted this same issue via the Wish Form several times as well, so
this isn't the first I'm noting this. Here's my (seemingly standard)
setup:

Windows XP Professional with SP2, fully patched
Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
Firefox 1.5.0.4
Flash Player 9, beta 3 (IE: Version 9,0,0,296, FF: Version 9.0 b296)

Major commercial sites where the browser tends to crash:
CNN.com
ESPN.com

In both cases, it is almost invariably any time one of the Flash Video
ads for Apple's new Mac campaign appears. Further, I've noted that it
gets to the point where the video looks to be done loading and is
about to play back. I went to a second machine that had FP 8
installed, and the video played fine.

I'm a huge fan of the improvements that FP 9 is offering for
developers, but if I can't achieve stability accessing very common web
sites, I can't ask my customers to upgrade so that they can use my
Flex 2 appsthat just won't fly.

Again, this looks to be Flash *Video*-related, as I've had no problems
as of yet accessing standard SWF files (i.e., forms, etc.) that I have
been developing.

Are others experiences stability issues?

Regards,
Dave.

Darren,

I definitely agree, but Fusion Authority articles are usually at a
higher level than step-by-step code, and that was the angle from which
I was speaking. Certainly if the intent is to use the framework in a
step-by-step manner, then your suggestion works. In fact, I would
argue to wait until after the beta is over because Steven has recently
noted that there will be some important (yet minor) changes to how the
framework currently works...even the beta.

Can you please put that page somewhere that's *not* behind that beta
site? Perhaps on the Labs documentation page? I don't have permission
to access that page and this is exactly the kind of information I have
been searching for since the B3 release last night.

All due respect, but you posted this while completely hiding behind
your e-mail address. If you're so adamant about your experience and
want to make a public statement about the quality of Adobe Consulting,
I think you'd receive a bit more respect (even if they vehmently
disagree) if you were to provide your name. You saw fit to put the
engineers' names into the public domain, so why are you hiding behind
"t_msreddy"? I have no experience with Adobe Consulting; they really
could stink for all I know. But I can't really seriously consider
anything you wrote when "t_msreddy" is all anybody knows about the
source of the accusations.

I'm certainly not suggesting that it's not to Microsoft's benefit to
release this patch. I was just saying that's why you see the frame
border. However, I will say that if you're a competent developer
("you're" meaning the developer community in general), you'll note
that there are several workarounds for this patch already, so it's not
like you're stuck. It's just a question of taking the time to
re-factor your code.

Dave.

This has been discussed ad nauseum recently. It's a patch to comply

ColdFusion MX, any version, will not currently work with Apache 2.2.
Steven Erat, a Senior Servers Support Engineer at Adobe, noted on a
list somewhere that there were specific issues with the Apache 2.2
binaries and that Adobe's working on getting it compatible. However,
there is no timetable for a release that I've seen anywhere. In the
meantime, you could likely just use the internal JRun web server, no?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2: ColdFusion Updater Install Issues with FES

[Dave Carabetta]

Bill,Thanks so much for the detailed instructions. However, nothing came through attached. Would you mind e-mailing the files to dcarabetta (at) gmail.com? Also, I assume that I'll be able to deploy directly to a J2EE ColdFusion instance using the exe installer in a subsequent beta? I used the WAR deployment option for CFMX, as I've always found that setup much easier than the EAR deployment option. My directory setup for CFMX 
7.01 is:D:\JRun4\servers\cfmx7\cfusion(again, note that it's not at the default C:\ location)And that's the only instance (other than the JRun admin instance) that I have right now. I only point all this out because I want to make sure that my setup (which is pretty vanilla as far as the J2EE CFMX setup process goes) will eventually be covered by the one-click installer you provided on the Labs site.
Regards,Dave.On 3/14/06, Bill Sahlas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:







Hi Dave -
 

The current beta installer  is designed to only update 
the initial CF instance in your multi-instance CFMX install - not a JRun 4 
deployment.  
 
Currently the beta 1 version has a bug and doesn't make the 
correct modification to the web.xml file on the "multi-server installer" (that's 
option #2 of the CFMX 7.01 installer)  but all the needed files are 
deployed to the correct location.  The one scenario that the installer 
isn't designed to handle is when the installer is a pure J2EE app 
server installer like JRun 4 install where you've also 
(appserver/jrun/lib/jrun-comp.ear) installed CF using the J2EE option 
(appserver/jrun/servers/cfmx/cfusion/)  The instructions should be 
sufficient to get you going for the J2EE app servers like JRun 4 and 
CF J2EE.
 
Below find the instructions on what you need to add 
to the web.xml file and instructions for both Flex Builder 2 and FES2 
messaging/cf flex event gateway.
 

For Flex 
Builder 2 connectivity
 
1) modify 
/WEB-INF/web.xml for you're deployed server
Add this to 
the Servlet section 
 
   
    
    
MessageBrokerServlet

 
    
coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet

 
    
    
servlet.class    
flex.messaging.MessageBrokerServlet    
services.configuration.file    
/WEB-INF/flex/flex-enterprise-services.xml    
    
1    
    

 

 

Add this down 
near the bottom of the file in the servlet-mapping 
section

    
  
MessageBrokerServlet    
/flex2gateway/*    
 

2) Make this 
dir C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\flex and add the 
attached flex-enterprise-services.xml .

3) Modify 
flex-enterprise-services.xml - find the channel-definition id="my-cfamf" and 
make the endpoint uri= match your environment.  It defaults to 


 http://localhost:8500{context.root}/flex2gateway/
" 
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> so if you're got cf running 
off http://localhost:8300/cfusion then 
you'd have

 http://localhost:8300/cfusion/flex2gateway/
" 
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>

4) copy the 
attached flashremoting_update.jar and flex-messaging.jar and put these under 
C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib

 

For the 
FlexMessaging Gateway all you'll need to do is 


 

1) put the 
attached flex-messaging-gateway.jar file under 
C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\gateway\lib 
(flex-messaging-gateway.cfg is only a sample and isn't 
needed)

2) in the 
unzip the eventgateway.zip file under your 
C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\CFIDE\administrator\ which will 
replace the ones that you've got with the updated version that includes the 
FlexMessaging Gateway.  

3) Download 
the instructions and docs from the Mystic downloads page on the mmbeta site to 
familiarize yourself with both of these implementations.  There's tutorials 
on how to setup samples of both of 
these implementations  
Using 
ColdFusion MX with Flex 2 (PDF) .


 

 

NOTE: if 
you've got FES Beta I installed it includes both /flex and 
/samples applcations and maybe more than that.  If you want to you can 
restrict what Flex loads by modifying the 
C:\fes2\jrun4\servers\default\SERVER-INF\jrun.xml

 

Replace the 
 section that says This Service 
handles application deployment with this one.

            true        {jrun.server.rootdir}/SERVER-INF/temp    
false    
false    
{jrun.home}/lib/jrun-comp.ear    
 {jrun.server.rootdir}/flex/    
true    
  
WEB-INF/flex/flex-config.xml    
  

 
 
For the J2EE appserver + CFMX J2EE deploys you 
may need to copy the flex-messaging-logins.jar and backport-util-concurrent.jar 
files from your FES2 install.

[flexcoders] Flex 2: ColdFusion Updater Install Issues with FES

[Dave Carabetta]

I've been trying to avoid using this list for install support, but
I've tried the Labs Forums, two blogs, and another flex2dev mailing
list that I don't think works anymore, so I'm out of options...

I'm trying to get the Flex/ColdFusion Connectivity installer available
on the Labs site (cf_flexconnect_b1_0123_en.exe) to run, and I'm
constantly hung up on the first step after selecting the "Multiserver"
option where it asks where ColdFusion MX 7 is located. The default
path listed is C:\JRun4. My install is at D:\JRun4. I changed it to
that but I got this: "The specified directory D:\JRun4 does not
contain a valid JRun root directory." and I cannot continue. I then
add one directory at a time all the way down to my ColdFusion MX 7
instance (through the /WEB-INF/cfusion directory, and through my
/CFIDE directory) and I get the same exact error, except with the
added directories listed.

Does the installer not work with a path other than C:\JRun4 or
something? The forums are getting next to no traffic in the relevant
categories, and even fewer responses at that. I really want to dig
into FES with ColdFusion, but it won't work if I can't get this
installed.

Anybody have any thoughts? I'm desperate.

Regards,
Dave.

I don't think the Flex team has hard timelines as of yet, but I would
wager that Flash Player 8.5 will be released simultaneously with Flex
2, as they are so closely related to each other. There were some
indications (i.e., rumors) from a few months back that they were
roughly targeting a June-ish release.

Aldo, did you set the  and  tags in the JRun instance
you tried to true in teh WEB-INF/jrun-web.xml file before testing?
They are false by default, so you won't get "out of the box" hot
deployment. I think it's only for jar files, but that might be why you
didn't see anything working.

Dave.

Dirk,

It's worth noting that while seemingly an alpha because of it's
pre-1.0 status, it's very much a 1.0 release in terms of stability.
The reason it's not officially at 1.0 is because the creators of it
are conservative with their version numbering and also because they
said they are working on some Flash Remoting-specific features that
they want to get into the official 1.0 release. Head over to
www.coldspringframework.org for more info, including an excellent
tutorial paper to move you along.

Dave.

Did they even publicly release a new build? I see it on neither
labs.macromedia.com nor labs.adobe.com. Or are you on some sort of
internal alpha/beta program and posted to the wrong list?

No, that's not a bug. -2 is the next smallest number to -1.5. I'd be
curious is your Oracle/Excel experiments are truncating the fraction
and simply looking at the "1" and "-1".

[flexcoders] Flex 2: Adding Result Set Column

[Dave Carabetta]

This is likely a very basic one, but I can't quite sort it out. I have
a ColdFusion query that is returning a column of sub-totals. I'd like
to use AS to calculate a grand total based on the sub-total column
(named "total"). I'm using the code below, but I keep getting an
"Unknown Property total" error:

function getGrandTotal(event:ResultEvent) {
  var totalResp:int;

I certainly understand that, but it's kind of tough to do a price
comparison, in my opinion. Flex is, to an extent, a shrink-wrapped
product with a known price tag. AJAX products aren't the result of
using a product that has a price tag -- the true cost is in the
development/debugging hours. Sure, there are AJAX libraries that
certainly help out, but it's not really the same. Scott Barnes has
some excellent blog entries (www.mossyblog.com, specifically
http://www.mossyblog.com/archives/454.cfm) with some AJAX/DHTML vs.
Flex development anecdotes, which I personally feel are more
indicative of the true "cost" rather than looking at price tags.

Dave.

Dude, the product is in an *Alpha* form right now. It's waaay to early
to have final pricing worked out. That being said, this FAQ item might
help ballpark it:

I can't remember where I read it, but I know for sure that
Macromedia's current policy is to use the number of *physical*
processors in the server as the number. So a dual core would just be
one processor.

Yes, it looks like it's the missing crossdomain.xml that's giving you
trouble. Save the below as crossdomain.xml in the web root of the
*ColdFusion server* and give your call another shot:

Did you properly create your crossdomain.xml file on the ColdFusion
server so that it will accept AMF calls? Search the archives for more
info, as this one has been covered many times. Also, if you're using
CFMX pre-7.01, then put a ? at the end of the gateway URL due to a
gateway caching bug that was in previous versions, like so:

http://www.mysite.com/flashservices/gateway?

Disclaimer: I don't work for Macromedia and have no "insider info" on
future products.

That being said, when you initially purchase Flex, it comes with a 12
month maintenance subscription built into the price, which means that
you'll get any and all upgrades free of charge during that period.
After the 12 month period, you have the option of renewing your
license(s) at 20% of the *current list price.* (I emphasize that last
point because we got burned on that recently because Macromedia more
than doubled the price of Flex since we purchased our initial licenses
and wound up being asked to pay the equivalent of 50% in maintenance
fees! Our sales rep did help us reach a satisfactory conclusion
though.) So yes, if you bought your licenses recently, Zorn/Mistral
should be out within that time period and you will get the upgrades
for fee.

As for the value, well I guess that remains to be seen, as Macromedia
has not discussed (even internally I would imagine) which features are
going to in the the stripped down version and the full version. As a
long-time ColdFusion developer, where there has always been a
"Professional" and "Enterprise" edition, I can tell you that there is
always a certain set of features found only in the Enterprise edition
that makes that edition compelling and worth having. Whether or not
Macromedia/Adobe chooses to follow that same path with Flex is up to
them, but they do have a solid record of making sure that there is
value in the dollars (or whatever currency you use) you spend on a
specific product edition.

I don't think Zorn/Mistral is even in a beta phase yet, so we're
obviously getting way ahead of things at the moment. But if history is
any indicator, you have not wasted your money with your recent
purchase.

Regards,
Dave.

[flexcoders] SOT: Macrovision FLEXnet Confusion?

[Dave Carabetta]

I know this is a bit OT as it's not a coding problem, but I was
wondering if Macromedia had any issues with Macrovision selling a
product called FLEXnet? Granted, it's not a direct competitor to Flex
in any way, but "Macrovision FLEXnet" sure does sound a lot like
"Macromedia Flex." Are there any trademark issues with a name like
that? I think I read somewhere that if the product is not in the same
industry, names can overlap or be very similar. But within the
software industry, the above similarity could easily cause confusion
to potential customers.

Just curious.

Regards,
Dave.

Buddy,

Please read the Flexcoders FAQ, as it will provides answers (and
links) to your questions above. The topics have likely been covered
extensively in the past (the datagrid question for sure; vertical
menus maybe not), and you'll most definitely find what you need in
great detail if you run a few searches:

Well, considering it literally doesn't exist yet, that's not really a
question anybody (including Macromedia) can answer just yet!
Seriously, to my knowledge Mistral (aka Flex 2.0) isn't even in beta
yet, so all answers you might receive are purely speculative. The only
real information that's been divulged (outside of various blogs at
weblogs.macromedia.com) is this paper on the overall Flash Platform:

That's the way the EULA reads and what I am almost positive our sales

However, as you see, my e-mail address doesn't end in

That changed effective last April 1. From the EULA, section 2(a):

"(a) If the Software is (i) a Developer Version, (ii) a Trial Version,
or (iii) any version of a Server-Based Software, this Section 2(a),
and not Section 2(b) nor Section 2(c), shall apply: Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, Macromedia hereby grants, and
you accept, the right and license to install and use the Software on a
single computer. A license for the Software may not be shared,
installed nor used concurrently on different computers."

http://www.macromedia.com/software/eula/server/flex/

As you can see, you can no longer split your license across machines.
Each license is per physical server now.

Dave.

Yes, it does. Contact your local Macromedia Sales Rep for more info.
They're very helpful.

As an aside, I believe this "Starter Kit" is the only way to buy Flex,
effective this past April 1. I may have mis-read an e-mail I got a
while back to this effect though.

Jack,

It's worth pointing out that Macromedia just published this white
paper, which should go a long way to answering some of your questions:

http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex/whitepapers/pdf/flex_capacity_planning.pdf

Try adding this to your java.args line in your jvm.config file:

Restart your instance and you should be fine.

I'll take a stab at a high level.

Well, you have Flex for your presentation tier and MySQL as your
database tier, but you need a middleware tier (ColdFusion, Java, .NET,
etc.) to communicate between the two. You don't write queries and
place them in your ActionScript/MXML code.

It's an annoying answer, but: It Depends. Seriously. How many users
will be accessing the application? What are they going to be doing? Is
it a public or internal site? There are so many project-specific
questions that are unique to your environment, that I defy anybody
external to your company and not familiar with what you're doing to
accurately give you performance statistics. And yes, that even goes
for Macromedia's own "6-8 licenses" remark.

> 
> Would going to 2 GB RAM make any difference?

If you insist on keeping the database on the same box as your
Flex/J2EE server, then absolutely, I would recommend going to 2 GB
RAM. I would not deploy a production-level Flex application with
anything less than 1 GB or RAM for the Flex instance itself. Again,
see above where I say that it depends on your requirements, but this
has been my experience.

It shouldn't, and it's something I would recommend if you have the
infrastructure to accomodate the separation. Physical separation of
tiers is a good thing, as it can help eliminate critical points of
failure if a server dies.

> Also, I read somewhere that RemoteObjects is faster.  Is it a

I would read this blog entry and the Flex Server Performance article
it references, as there are some benefits to using ROs, but also some
gotchas:

Matt,

Do you know when/if the /go/* feed URLs will be updated? For example,
I subscribe to the Flex Product Notification feed with a URL of
http://www.macromedia.com/go/rss_flex, but that URL still re-directs
to the old markme.com site, which is no longer around. All of the
product notification feeds suffer from this, but since this is a Flex
list, I figured I'd keep it relevant! This is probably more of a
question for Christian Cantrell, but thought you might know.

Regards,
Dave.

Ha. Well, I'd be careful with making that decision at this point. I
mean, FP8 won't be out until August/September/October, from what MM
has hinted, and it's going to take time before penetration numbers
spin up. A year from now I might make that choice, but relying on the
initial release of the player is probably not the best idea. Even in
instances of intranet-only apps where you can control what version
your users are using, there are seemingly *so many* new features in
the next version of the player, there's bound to be other bugs that
might bite you until patches are released. And then the patch release
penetration cycle begins again!!

I agree though that it's great that these capabilities are coming in
the next player.

Regards,
Dave.

Flex Builder comes free with a purchase of Flex server -- it is not
sold separately. (I believe you get 5 free licenses of FB or something
like that.) My understanding of the rationale behind it is that Flex
Builder is simply the Dreamweaver MX 2004 code base plus the Flex
extensions, and if you're not using Flex, DW is perfectly
adequate...and for sale. As you suggested, and has been my experience,
Macromedia is superb with accomodating extended trial periods. Just
get in touch with your sales rep and they should be able to take care
of you.

Nah, you're not missing anything. They use the same licensing manager
across all their IDEs, and Flex Builder is the only one (that I'm
aware of) where you actually get it for free with the purchase of
another product. I think it's more the lack of desire to write a
re-worked licensing manager, as there would be little reward for it.
But I agree that there is a confusing disconnect.

Flex itself, sure. But my experience has been that many clients only
install JRun for the purpose of running it with Flex (or ColdFusion
for that matter). JRun lays down a bunch of registry keys during the
install process, and, hence, it can be a pain to cleanly uninstall
(it's not very good about getting rid of all its registry keys).

Regards,
Dave.

The scoop is that you need to get a serial number. I'm not sure what
the confusion is? It wouldn't make much sense for Macromedia to
distribute an IDE that's meant for one user at a time in a "developer"
mode. Since Flex server is meant for multiple users, it would make
more sense for that product to revert to a limited IP verson after 60
days, as uninstalling/re-installing server products tend to be more
tedious than desktop products such as Flex Builder.

Dave.

I'm not sure about an e-mail notification, but I'm a big blog reader,
and they have a ColdFusion Notifications feed at:

http://www.macromedia.com/go/rss_coldfusion

If you're a ColdFusion user, you'll also be interested to know that
they just released updated JDBC drivers for all versions of MX that
they highly recommend people upgrade to:

http://www.macromedia.com/go/1a3c2ad0

Note that the drivers were release *after* the hotfix rollup, so
you'll need to install the drivers as a separate step afterwards.

Makes sense.

Our internal box is a single Xeon processor at 3.0 GHz with 1 MB
cache, and it suits us just fine. I was tempted to go with an Opteron
processor, but since JRun doesn't support it (it will actually install
and run, but in 32-bit mode, which defeats the purpose of having a
64-bit processor!), I went with the 32-bit Xeon. That being said, we
are going to be looking into some new production servers, but I'm
waiting for the dual cores to mature a little bit. Since Macromedia's
licensing policy is based on the physical number of CPUs, I will be
able to essentially get two processors (and twice the processing
power) for the price of one, which is a substantial savings for my
company.

Hope this helps?

Regards,
Dave.

Nope, we have it installed internally on ES 3.0, and it works fine. As
for RAM usage and stuff, I would give it a minimum of 512 MB, and lean
towards 1GB of RAM if nothing else is going to be on it as you say.
Even if there will be other apps/instances, I'd keep it at 1 GB and
simply add more RAM to the box (it's so cheap nowadays, it's a
no-brainer).

The Flex *server* product is the one that reduces itself to an
IP-restricted version. However, Flex *Builder* (the IDE) is consistent
with all of the other Macromedia IDEs in that they flat-out expire
after their trial and a serial number is needed to continue using it.
If you think about it, if an IDE is meant to run on one machine by one
user, what would be the point of restricting it to one IP address!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding though?

Dave.

That's the initial release information. If you search that blog, you
will also see references to Breeze presentations and other resources
to help you along.

Manish posted an editable date field sample on Flex Authority. I can't
give a direct bookmark (the site's done with Flex), but here's where
to go:

1) Go to http://www.flexauthority.com/samplesIndex.cfm
2) Click on the Intermediate tab
3) It's the 4th option listed.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dave.
