Re: [flexcoders] Flex Remoting Options - Any Opinions?
Hello, I am just starting to use graniteDS and starting to likie it. My -ONLY- problem was that, I cannot make it work from within my flexbuilder environment. I want to be able to debug my flexbuilder application talking to my Java All I want to do is have my Flex client to communicate with my Java backend. Due to licensing restrictions, LCDS won't be an option for us. So far the biggest contenders are: 1. Granite Data Services 2. OpenAMF 3. WebORB 4. Red5 Btw: if you want AMF3 support you can rule out OpenAMF and WebORB which only support AMF0. Furthermore, since early November there is a new option: Cinnamon. http://www.spicefactory.org/cinnamon/. It's a bit different than Granite since it does not use the RemoteObject API (so Cinnamon can also be used in pure AS3 projects without Flex). Cinnamon has full AMF3 support, optional integration with Spring configuration and a lot of flexibility for mapping AS3 classes to Java classes. Jens Halm Spicefactory

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Remoting Options - Any Opinions?
Why not? Is it 'cause your app runs from the file system within flexbuilder and the web host in production/test? If that's the case then move to Flex Builder 3 and set up your project with the right server-side bindings, then when you run/debug from FlexBuilder it will invoke it through the web server.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Remoting Options - Any Opinions?
Sam, Do you mind sending me the step by step instructions? I just cannot make it work. I have two project - 1. Java web project for the java server side (Say MyWebApp). 2. A flex project with its output (bin) externalized to MyWebApp/webroot(in the same level as WEB-INF). And I cannot make my Flex talk to my server. If I deploy the app like the way I downloaded it works fine! But I donot get the benefits of using my Flexbuilder! Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Matt Samuel R. Neff wrote: Why not?

Re: [flexcoders] flex remoting with cf7 running on weblogic
ok, i had a guy that actually knows weblogic come over and set me
straight...
i have to call the flex gateway like
http://{ipaddress_or_domain}:7100/{appName}/flex2gateway/
and i get the blank page i've been waiting for..
but this brings up another problem, we are not going to want to be making
requests from the client app to the app server on port 7100, but instead we
need the flex2gateway to be passed thru port 80/IIS for security reasons.
so just like i have .cfm -- iisproxy.dll, i need */flex2gateway/* --
iisproxy.dll so I do not have to specify appname/port etc...
any ideas?

[flexcoders] Flex Remoting over SSL - Coldfusion 8
Posted this to another list but haven't solved this problem yet... it
really bugs me that this is so poorly documented.
I have some Flex apps running that were running with a Coldfusion 7
backend using SSL. To do this, I merely modified the
services-config.xml to use https instead of http, and changed the
channel classes to the secure versions of those classes. All was
well.
Now that I've upgraded to Coldfusion 8, all my flex apps are sending
their gateway requests over https. This is normal, of course, because
I hadn't changed the config files yet.
So I looked at the config files and I see there is now a
services-config.xml and a remoting-config.xml. The
services-config.xml contains channel definitions for both ssl and
non-SSL (this is new)... the destinations are defined in
remoting-config.xml.
So I added a new destination called ColdFusionSSL - looks like this:
destination id=ColdFusionSSL
channels
channel ref=my-cfamf-secure/
/channels
properties
source*/source
!-- define the resolution rules and access level of the
cfc being invoked --
access
!-- Use the ColdFusion mappings to find CFCs, by
default only CFC files under your webroot can be found. --
use-mappingsfalse/use-mappings
!-- allow public and remote or just remote
methods to be invoked --
method-access-levelremote/method-access-level
/access
property-case
!-- cfc property names --
force-cfc-lowercasefalse/force-cfc-lowercase
!-- Query column names --
force-query-lowercasefalse/force-query-lowercase
!-- struct keys --
force-struct-lowercasefalse/force-struct-lowercase
/property-case
/properties
/destination
It's just a copy of the ColdFusion destination, except it refers to
the secure channel. The secure channel is defined in the
services-config.xml and was not changed. This is the default from
CF8...
channel-definition id=my-cfamf-secure
class=mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel
endpoint
uri=https://{server.name}:{server.port}{context.root}/flex2gateway/cfamfsecure;
class=flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint/
properties
polling-enabledfalse/polling-enabled
serialization
instantiate-typesfalse/instantiate-types
/serialization
/properties
/channel-definition
I changed the destination of my mx:RemoteObject tags to refer to
this new destination, compiled, and ran.
No luck. I get the following error message:
Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed:
url: 'https://advanceweb.ads.duke.edu/flex2gateway/cfamfsecure'
I set the logging level to Debug and the following log entries appeared:

Hello Giles,
for you second question, you can setup channels at run time
// setup coldfusion AMFChannel
private function setupCFChannel():void{
cSet = new ChannelSet();
var customChannel:Channel = new AMFChannel(my-cfamf,
http://yourcfservername/flex2gateway/;);
// Add the Channel to the ChannelSet.
cSet.addChannel(customChannel);
myService.channelSet = cSet;
}
mx:RemoteObject
id=myService
destination=ColdFusion
source=cfc.testGateway
showBusyCursor=true
mx:method name=getAll
result=handleResult(event)
fault=Alert.show(event.fault.message) /
/mx:RemoteObject
hope this helps.

[flexcoders] Flex Remoting and complex objects
Hi all, I'm beginner with Flex, but have quite a lot experience with .Net. We have been testing to move some complicated UI to Flex using Fluorine as the remoting host. Almost everything seems to be working fine, but sending complex objects from Flex seems to have some serious issues. We have value objects that contain nested lists, for example: Project + Sections : ListProjectSection ProjectSection + Assets : ListAsset Asset + AvailableColors : ListColor These objects are received by Flex (all generic lists are converted to ArrayCollections) just fine, but I am getting an error when trying to send the object back to the host: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert [EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.messaging.messages.IMessage. As a breakpoint inside Fluorine service will not trigger, I am expecting that the problem happens inside Flex. Has anybody experience with objects like this? We are using Cairngorm in Flex, could that be an issue? Or do you think the problem would be with Fluorine (haven't tested with WebOrb)? Any ideas appreciated, Miika
RE: [flexcoders] Flex Remoting and complex objects
AS3 doesn't have the concept of generics, so yes, all collections should be instances of mx.collections.ArrayCollection by default. Types like mx.collections.ArrayCollection can only really be sent and received properly by AMF3, so any remoting endpoint would have to understand this version of the AMF protocol. Any remoting solution working with Flex 2's RemoteObject should be aware of the messaging infrastructure that is used to send messages for any remote service request and response. If Fluorine isn't sending back the result wrapped in a typed instance of flex.messaging.messages.AcknowledgeMessage (or an error wrapped in an mx.messaging.messages.ErrorMessage) with a correct correlationId property to match the request mx.messaging.remoting.RemotingMessage's messageId - then it won't work. .

[flexcoders] Flex remoting, using a factory for beans
Hi all, Does anyone know if its possible to configure flex /cold fusion to use a factory to create beans when using remoting, managed classes and aliases? e.g. I currently have: Flex app - send aliased objects to cf over remoting - cf objects get automagically created I'm hoping this is possible: Flex app - send objects to cf over remoting - myfactory.cfc is used to create the cf objects Thanks, Adrian

Re: [flexcoders] Flex remoting, using a factory for beans
Sure look at things like ColdSpring
I don't *think* ColdSpring can do this in and of itself, I'll try to clarify
my original question (I'll start at the beginning, please don't take offence
if it sounds condescending!)
Using Flex remoting, you can specify that an actionscript class instance
should be translated into an instance of a specific cfc
e.g.
MyObjVO.as
package com.mysite.mypackage.vo
{
[Managed]
[RemoteClass(alias=com.mysite.mypackage.vo.MyObjVO)]
public class MyObjVO
{
MyObjVO.cfc
cfcomponent alias=com.mysite.mypackage.vo.MyObjVO
When an instance of MyObjVO.as is sent to CF using Flex remoting, it will be
translated* into an instance of MyObjVO.cfc automatically, so that all the
serialisation/deserialisation (if those terms apply to AMF?) is taken care
of, and your code only has to deal with object instances.
The problem I have is that the automatic translation* appears to simply
perform a createobject(component,alias) to create the cfc instances.
I would like to know if it is possible to configure flex/CF to use a factory
when translating* the .as instances to .cfc instances, instead of a plain
createobject() call.
*not sure if translate is the correct term here, I think this feature used
to be code named mystic, does anyone know the correct technical/product
feature term to use?
RE: [flexcoders] Flex remoting, using a factory for beans
I understand exactly what you're asking, but it's technically not
possible right now without writing your own adapter for the remoting
service. I'd log an enhancement request with the CF team.
(For the FDS case with Java POJOs, you can write your own factory
instead and rely on the standard java adapter... but that adapter has no
knowledge of CF).

[flexcoders] flex remoting and query
If in my CFC that I am connecting to with RemoteObject can I return a Query
object to Flex?
Here is an example cfc:
cffunction name=getJob returnType=query output=no access=remote
cfargument name=jobNum type=numeric required=yes
cfquery datasource=database name=getJobInfo
SELECT JobName, Description
FROM Job
WHERE JobNum = #arguments.jobNum#
/cfquery
cfreturn getJobInfo
/cffunction
Or should I stick to returning XML?
My goal for this exercise is to take the data and put it in a DataGrid
component.
Second question is how do I format the dataprovider in the datagrid?
mx:DataGrid id=dgJob dataProvider={roGetJob.?}
Re: [flexcoders] flex remoting and query
return that query and bind it to an ArrayCollection in your AS. Then you can
bind it to a grid or list, etc.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Remoting
It depends on what the method signature for SampleDAO.getPersons looks like. Where did you find this sample? Note that the AS signature for NetConnection.call() is: public function call(command:String, responder:Responder, ... arguments):void So the ... syntax in AS means the rest of the arguments which is an Array. So, if the getPersons signature was something like this: public Person[] getPersons(List ids); then the call would look like this: gateway_conn.call(com.tis.dao.SampleDAO.getPersons, responder, userList); Or, if the getPersons signature was like this: public Person[] getPersons(id1, id2, id3); then the call would look like this: gateway_conn.call(com.tis.dao.SampleDAO.getPersons, responder, 12, 13, 15); -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of murtuza_ab Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 10:55 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Remoting Hi, Need help in the Remoting Implementation I have tried example of below, with the method which does not take any param it works but what is the syntax for passing the argument to the remote method.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex, Remoting and more
Sorry for this late reaction. I've done some tests with ColdFusion 7 and their new event gateways. I modified an existing Java socket server to be an event gateway type. This enabled me to be able to push data from ColdFusion to all connected Flash clients. In Flash I used XMLSocket. I don't know what kind of server side software u are using, but the combination of a socketserver and some server side logic can do the trick. The cutback of this is that messages can only be send as string. Offcourse u can send xml for complex data, but then u still have problems with numbers and booleans.

The danger of persistent connections is one of scaleabilityand of trying to manage a reliable protocol across those connections (as opposed to the relative simplicity of a request/response protocol).

RE: [flexcoders] Flex, Remoting and more
Hi, FCS can only connect to any Flash Remoting gateway or Flash Player. If FCS connects to Flash Remoting gateway, it would be asynchronous process. It would lead to polling kind of scenario, where FCS would poll(on regular intervals) the Remoting Gateway(.Net or J2ee), in return gets the data. -abdul -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alberto Albericio Salvador Sent: Monday, June 27, 2005 5:19 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flex, Remoting and more Hi Abdul, Is it possible from C# or any other language to connect to this FCS in order to give orders to all Flex clients connected to it?

For example, if you returned a query with two columns, (FirstName, LastName), when ColdFusion returns the data through a web service call, the columns will be all uppercase, (FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME). If Flash Remoting is used to return the data, then the columns will appear exactly as they appear in the database, (FirstName, LastName). MXML is case sensitive, so it is possible that you may run into a problem with case sensitivity... Yet, I just spent the last 10mins trying to figure out why my bindings weren't working - turns out the struct I return from CFMX is now uppercase in FLEX - instead of case sensitive which the technote states.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Remoting has UPPERCASE results
This is an involved discussion with much to consider... Your request goes something like this when calling CFCs via RemoteObject: Flex - Flash - AMF - (AMF Gateway/Flash Remoting) - ColdFusion - Your CF Page In ActionScript 1.0, the Flash -- -- AMF interation is case insensitive merely because ActionScript 1.0 is case insensitive. Java, on the other hand, always treats properties case sensitively. Flash Remoting MX uses a convention of lowercase keys to force case insensitivity in the Java representations of ActionScript objects. ColdFusion has always been case insensitive - (however, how CF exposes this to your code versus how objects are passed around internally is involved) - so it didn't care whether the Java versions of these AMF objects had lowercase keys. In ActionScript 2.0, the Flash -- -- AMF interaction became case sensitive. A switch was introduced in Flex to stop the AMF gateway from lowercasing keys. This setting is in /WEB-INF/flex/gateway-config.xml and by default set to false to preserve the case of properties. Again, ColdFusion code didn't care as it was case insensitive. However, the response gets more interesting. Your response might look like this: ColdFusion - (AMF Gateway/Flash Remoting) - AMF - Flash - Flex In the simplest of cases, when ColdFusion passes database information back to Flash Remoting it may do so without subjecting the objects to CF specific upper casing (perhaps if you just return a query object). However, I imagine it is possible that when your code preprocess the results to form a new structure the variables may actually get forced to uppercase by CF (I'm not a CF engineer... but it sounds, theoretically, possible)? NOTE: as long as the switch is set in Flex to not lowercase keys, I imagine it will pass through data properties just as ColdFusion sent the result to the AMF Gateway. (A more complicated case that I'm assuming doesn't affect you here is when this switch has been changed to true to lowercase keys in the gateway - a fix was made in CFMX 7 to handle this situation to still preserve response property case to the form in which CF returned them). -Original Message- From: Scott Barnes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 6:25 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Remoting has UPPERCASE results I noticed in: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19356 It states: ...With Flash Remoting, they are returned in exactly the same case as they are typed.
