[flexcoders] Re: Why most Flex Developer job ads ask now for Knowledge in Java??

[gers32]

Flex being relatively new, I suspect many companies hiring Flex developers 
don't yet have a Flex project and need someone who can at least develop a Proof 
Of Concept. That's what I had to do at my company: in addition to learning 
Flex, I also learned Ruby on Rails for the back end (I knew Java but considered 
it less efficient in terms of development time). The POC worked fine, but 
management considered the whole Ruby/Rails/Nginx (or Apache), etc. stack a 
little too intimidating, so they asked me to rewrite the back end using Oracle 
HTTP Server and PL/SQL, which I then had to learn... It also works fine, but I 
miss the conciseness of RoR. I think I'll try Grails next; then I'll have 
looped back to Java!

[flexcoders] Re: Caringorm vs PureMVC

[gers32]

Hi Patricia,

I spent a couple days investigating the various Flex frameworks and finally 
came to the conclusion that Mate was best for me. The big Plus is that it 
doesn't interfere with your Flex code.

Among my numerous findings, the following two are pretty good:

[flexcoders] Re: AIR with Oracle

[gers32]

My Flex application runs in a browser, not AIR, but the concept is the same; it 
connects to an Oracle database, via two different server-side technologies 
(I've been experimenting for my employer) : Ruby-on-Rails or PL/SQL (using the 
Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql).

Basically, your Flex application can talk to any database, as long as you have 
a server-side service which dialogs with it. I use XML to send data back and 
forth between the server and the client (browser).

Cheers,

Chris.

[flexcoders] Re: Starting with Cairngorm or PureMvc

I have chosen the Mate framework, based on the reviews below:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/ioc_frameworks.html

For me, one of the strong points of Mate is its non-intrusiveness: there's no 
Mate-specific code in your view and model classes. Unfortunately, I haven't had 
a chance to try it out yet, so I can't give you a personal opinion based on 
experience.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 3 and Oracle

[gers32]

Hi,

My company's applications are based on Oracle databases and Oracle Forms. I've 
built a prototype application using a Flex front-end and Ruby-on-Rails 
back-end. And although it works great, my boss is afraid of customers' 
potential reactions to Ruby-on-Rails and the whole Ruby + Rails + (other gems) 
+ Mongrel + nginx/Apache stack.

So I've been asked to explore an Oracle-only back-end alternative. I haven't 
had a chance to experiment yet, but I've heard of OHS (Oracle HTTP Server) and 
EPG (Embedded PL/SQL Gateway) which enable you to communicate with your Flex 
front-end via XML, for example.

If you get a chance to try this out, let me know; I'm eventually going to have 
to do this (if I can spare a few days...).

Good luck,

Chris.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex server language

[gers32]

Ruby on Rails is interesting because of the little amount of code you
need to write, compared to Java for example. My RoR back end server
deals with the database (Oracle in my case) and communicates with a
Flex front end via XML. Of course, you can use AMF, but in my
situation I don't have such high performance requirements.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex connection to Oracle 10g PL/SQL

information I've gathered so far seems to say that this technology
might not yet be Production-ready (no dates on the articles, so I
don't know how old they are...). Has anyone had experience with
XDB/EPG in a Production environment?

Thanks,

Chris.

[flexcoders] Re: Best way to deliver data via Rails

[gers32]

Hi,

I deliver data to my Flex front-end via RoR HttpService in XML form. I
realize XML is not the most efficient, and considered using BlazeDS,
but because I haven't yet encountered any performance problems, I'm
sticking to XML to avoid any proprietary format, should I ever need to
switch server technologies.

I'm curious to find out what's wrong with HttpService, before I use it
all over the place... Thanks,

Chris.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex connection with Database

[gers32]

Hi Chitra,

I don't know exactly what kind of application you're working on, but I
can tell you how I connect to a database from my Flex front-end.

I use Flex's HttpService to call a URL, which then returns data sent
from a Web Service. This Web Service can be written in Java, since you
seem to have that knowledge. After using Java for ten years, I've
switched to Ruby on Rails, which I find much more productive for
database-backed Web Services.

The data format I send back from my Web Services is XML, very easy to
integrate into Flex components.

Hope that helps,

Chris.

[flexcoders] Replacing accentuated characters with their ASCII equivalents

[gers32]

Hi,

Is there an existing function that would allow me to replace
accentuated characters with their ASCII equivalents (e.g., 'à' -> 'a',

[flexcoders] Re: HttpService not called the first time

Hi Tracy,

That's a good idea. Now, I'm wondering what the trade off is between
one HttpService per Component (bigger SWF file size, but parallel
requests thus faster data access on multi-processor boxes?) and one
single HttpService for the whole application (smaller SWF file, but
sequential thus slower data retrieval?).

I'd appreciate an example using AsyncToken, if you have one.

[flexcoders] Re: HttpService not called the first time

[gers32]

Being a Flex newbie, I can only think of one way to solve this dilemma
(assuming I ever encounter performance problems at startup):

I thought it was a good idea to implement each HttpService in the
Component that displays the retrieved data, which is saved to an
application-wide Model, accessible to all Components. One solution
would be to centralize all HttpServices in the main application file;
they would populate the Model in the same way, but not require the
existence of their corresponding Components.

I'm sure there are better solutions out there... Thanks,

Chris.

[flexcoders] HttpService not called the first time

[gers32]

Hi,

Components A and B are inside Panels of a ViewStack; they're accessed
via a TabBar.

I define an HttpService within component A.
I call A.HttpService from an action in component B.

When I perform the action in component B, A.HttpService will only get
called if I have PREVIOUSLY visited A... And to top it all off,
A.creationComplete() doesn't get fired either when I visit it, unless
I have PREVIOUSLY performed the action in B !

My problem seems to stem from the order in which these components get
initialized, but this behavior doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks for your help,

[gers32]

Yes, width is systematically ignored, that's why I set minWidth, which
is better in the sense that the columns are wider (100), but its
values are still ignored.

Maybe there's an extra parameter (even from a superclass...) I need to
set (like I did with horizontalScrollPolicy) for width to be taken
into consideration?

I forgot to mention I'm using Flex 2.0.1. via the Eclipse Flex Builder
 2 plugin.

[flexcoders] DataGrid: column width and horizontal scroll

[gers32]

Hi,

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to set the column widths of a
DataGrid which is constrained inside its container (width="100%"
height="100%"), has two locked columns (lockedColumnCount="2"), and
which I force to scroll horizontally (horizontalScrollPolicy="on").

The DataGridColumn widths are systematically ignored (columns are all
scrunched up within the boundaries of the outside container) and they
take up their default width (100) if I set minWidth to a random value
(even if it's greater than 100!).

I'd appreciate any help. Here's a piece of the code (there's not much
more...):

[flexcoders] Problem setting localized Application.pageTitle

[gers32]

Hi,

My localized application defines the following ResourceBundle for
retrieving localized strings (the [Bindable] is to get rid of warning
messages):

[Bindable]
[ResourceBundle("FDS")]
private var rb:ResourceBundle;

I then successfully use rb in my MXML code, except in
, where I get a compiler message (missing parenthesis...):

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
pageTitle="{rb.getString('page_titre')}">

I suspected it might be a timing issue, relative to when the
ResourceBundle rb actually gets instantiated, so I tried setting
pageTitle in the creationComplete function instead:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
creationComplete="onCreationComplete()">
...
private function onCreationComplete() : void
{
Alert.show( "Setting browser title" );
Application.application.pageTitle = rb.getString('page_titre');
}

But even though the Alert is displayed and I get no compiler message,
the title still doesn't get displayed, even if I hard-code it! I tried
calling onCreationComplete() from Application.initialize(), but get
the same result.

Any hint as to what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated. Thanks,

Chris.

[flexcoders] Re: Here we go again: Flex Vs Java

First of all, a Flex front-end is Web 2.0 vs. Web 1.0 for JSPs. I
recently made the switch from JSP to Flex for that reason. Also, your
application will scale better if you put some of the logic inside the
Client.

If your employer argues that he's invested a lot in Java, that's OK
because you can have your Flex front-end talk to Web Services written
in Java.

As for Bruce Eckel's article, that's exactly the one that convinced me
to skip AJAX and go directly from JSP to Flex. It also convinced my
