I'm having a similar issue.  After changing db_path in
/WEB-INF/classes/store.cfg to an absolute path, I get:

Error: Unresolved compilation problems: 
The import org.apache.commons cannot be resolved
The import org.apache.commons cannot be resolved
log cannot be resolved

Could be an issue with the way I have the Tomcat project configured in
Eclipse.  Will dig deeper into this in the morning.

Hi there,

Can you zip up your webapp directory (removing flex.war/etc) on JRun and
email it privately to me offlist, and we'll take a look.

On the login sample, you should have seen a result or a fault come back over
the wire ... what was the case ?

Have you tried starting/stopping the appserver ?

I'm sure it's something simple.

Best,

Steven

Hi Dave,


have you made sure your config.xml contains

namespace uri=http://www.iterationtwo.com/cairngorm;
manifest/WEB-INF/flex/cairngorm-manifest.xml/manifest
/namespace 

,you have a cairngorm-manifest.xml file and most importantly, you've restarted 
your server?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm 0.99

[dave buhler]

Hi Alex,

Let me try again when I get home from the office.

I'm confused about the purpose behind the SWC. As I understand it, and
stop me if I'm wrong, the SWC is the compiled Cairngorm framework. The
following code...

 !-- run this task to move cairngorm to you webapp --
 target name=get_cairngorm description=copies over Cairngorm source 
  copy todir=${dest_webapp}/WEB-INF/flex/user_classes/ overwrite=false
   fileset dir=${cairngorm}
  
 include
name=**/*cairngorm.swc/ 
  
   
   /fileset
  /copy
  copy todir=${dest_webapp}/WEB-INF/flex/ overwrite=false
   fileset dir=${cairngorm}
  
 include
name=**/*cairngorm-manifest.xml/
  
  
 
   /fileset
  /copy
 /target

... includes the cairngorm-manifest and the SWC. The
cairngorm-manifest.xml points to the framework classes, which seems
redundant to me.

I was also confused about where the 'build' folder is placed within the
directory to be executed. Do 'bin' and 'build' reside on the root of
the directory structure similar to:

--build
--bin
--org
--+nevis
---+---+cairngorm

I'm not sure where bin goes with its respective cairngorm-manifest.xml
file and cairngorm.swc. In the sames files, bin doesn't exist. I'm
missing something :)

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm 0.99

[Steven Webster]

Reuben,

 That fixed it.  Thanks.  It might be good to have some manual 
 installation instructions in the documentation for putting 
 cairngorm into an existing flex server.

http://www.iterationtwo.com/nevis/InstallationGuide.pdf

On page 6, we instruct:

To copy over the store sample files, you must copy the contents of your
project
 webapp directory into your webservers webapp directory.

 Copy (contents of) webapp/ into WEBAPP_DIR/cairngormstore/

If you do that, that'll take a copy of flex-config.xml out of
webapp/WEB-INF/flex/ and put it into your context.  We put all
the entries into flex-config.xml that will allow the sample to
run out of the box.

If folks want to ignore the step-by-step advice of starting
with a fresh Flex webapp context, then they're on their
own :)

Glad you've got it all up and running now,

Best,

Steven

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm 0.99

[dave buhler]

Wooo-H!

I'm in!

*** insert spy theme music here

My thoughts:


  I ran into the same errors as reuben and Sean above with the exact same errors.
  I have never heard of ANT until today. I'm a client-side
developer. Just like Berardini. Server configuration is foreign to me.
Lead my people to the Red Sea of Server Configuration. Help us cross. I
think most AS 2.0/OOP developers understand and love working within the
framework, but have a hard time getting over the hurdle of setting up
the server and server files.
  
  A clean install from the bare-bones helped. 
  
  I agree with hecubus that the release notes should state that .99
isn't compatible with .95. We're probably 5 projects into Cairngorm
.95, and I think we had anticipated a seamless upgrade.
  
  Item 3.2 in the docs should state that you have to copy over the flex-config file for your particular project and why.
  In some places, the docs show a path with '/' and sometimes
without. I dragged my flex-config to the wrong folder (it was 1 up).
The docs should be more consistent. For example:
  
bin/cairngorm.swc to
  WEBAPP_DIR/cairngormlogin/WEB-INF/flex/user_classes/
  
bin/cairngorm-manifest.xml to
WEBAPP_DIR/cairngormlogin/WEB-INF/flex

  
  these is spelled theses on page 2: flex contains the source Flex files of the Cairngorm API, you only need theses if

you are recompiling the SWC
  

Time to eat! Then, I'm coming back to play with my new framework. :)

Peace,
Dave

Hi Paolo,

 () );

Sure, this is just us showing what we consider to be a good
practice; again, it's not something new to Cairngorm, but a
practice we'd like to elucidate through the samples we give
you.

A common refactoring (in the Martin Fowler's book on Refactoring
term, not on the word that people throw around to mean code
editing) that is performed is the Replace Magic Number with a
Symbolic Constant refactoring:

http://www.refactoring.com/catalog/replaceMagicNumberWithSymbolicConstant.ht
ml

By defining static constants on our Controller, we can quickly
look to our controller to identify the names of the events that
we are able to broadcast, and that our controller will respond
to.

Everywhere else in our code, we reduce the risk of broadcasting
the getaccounts event instead of the correctly capitalised
getAccounts event for instance, by instead broadcasting
ShopController.EVENT_GET_ACCOUNTS.

In this way, if we spell incorrectly, eg ShopController.EVENT_GET_ACOUNTS,
then this is caught at compile-time rathr than at run-time.

We're big believers in letting the compiler do as much error 
checking as possible, and reducing the source of run-time
error.

So this isn't a Cairngorm best-practice it's simply a 
best-practice that iteration::two adhere to, and that we're
promoting in our samples.

Hope that helps,

Best,

Steven

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm 0.99

[Steven Webster]

Hi Dave,


  
I ran into the same errors as reuben and Sean above with the exact same 
errors. 
I have never heard of ANT until today. I'm a client-side developer. Just 
like Berardini. Server configuration is foreign to me. Lead my people to the 
Red Sea of Server Configuration. Help us cross. I think most AS 2.0/OOP 
developers understand and love working within the framework, but have a hard 
time getting over the hurdle of setting up the server and server files.
A clean install from the bare-bones helped.
So 
first of all, I think it's great that "client-side developers" are so willing to 
get the Cairngorm samples
up and 
running; and I do think that you're going to get a rapidclimb up the ramp 
by getting this sample
running and understanding how it allworks on both sides of the 
wire.

However, our remit in producing the "Cairngorm Store"was not to 
provide a tutorial inFlex/J2EE application
development, but to provide those Flex/J2EE developers who are trying to 
understand how Cairngorm
fits 
in with what they do, a more comprehensive sample application than the simple 
Login example we
provided with 0.95. We wanted to ship an app that incorporated a 
Flex presentation-tier built using
Cairngorm, that invokes a Java business tier with a database 
back-end. The Java and database backend
are in 
no-way intended to be best-practice code (so don't go trying to build production 
Flex shops 
using 
that code !) but our assumption is that J2EE folks are going to understand where 
to go from
this 
sample.

Don't 
get me wrong; we'll help you guys all we can to get this application running, 
and we do intend
blogging abit more of a "getting started", but if a hurdle exists 
in configuring a J2EE application
server,installing a database for Java to call, working with Flex 
server configuration, etc, then the 
remit 
of Cairngorm Store isn't to make that easier for 
you ... there's plenty of better resources out 
there. Fundamental assumption for Cairngorm, is that a developer is 
comortable developing and
configuring Flex applications on a Flex/J2EE server.

Please 
take this in the spirit it's intended our aim with Cairngorm 
isto provide the framework and
the 
examples that merit leveraging the framework; the base assumption is 
thatyou are developing
all 
tiers of an n-tier application, that you're comfortable developing apps of the 
complexity that really
start 
to merit a microarchitecture like Cairngorm.

The 
great thing about open-source frameworks like this though,is 
communityparticipation ... so if
I hear 
you correctly that there's a need for a "Installing the Cairngorm Store for 
Client-Side
Developers" whitepaper, then I'd be delighted for you to volunteer to 
write it :-)

  
I agree with hecubus that the release notes should state that .99 isn't 
compatible with .95. We're probably 5 projects into Cairngorm .95, and I 
think we had anticipated a seamless upgrade.
I'm 
not quite sure what you mean by incompatibility;the onlychange we're 
asking you to make -
and we 
thought long and hard about this one - is renaming the 
com.iterationtwo.cairngorm
packages to org.nevis.cairngorm. That's something that is a global 
search and replace
operation on your source code, and is the *only* thing you have to do to 
migrate from
0.95 
to 0.99

If you 
then drop the org.nevis.cairngorm.* packages inthe same place you 
had
com.iterationtwo.cairngorm.* then you should be back where you 
started.

If, 
however, you want to benefit by using cairngorm.swc (so you can keep 
theCairngorm
source 
out of your project source) then you're going to have to do a little extra work 
-
adding 
the manifest entry to flex-config.xml. That'sall ... nothing 
more.

However, in terms of compatibility; there's nothing that we've changed in 
the API that
will 
break anything you're doing currently ... that was ahuge motivation for 
the
decisions we made in 0.99, NOT to break existing 
functionality.

If you 
find a 0.95 app isn't workingwith 0.99, please let us know how  if 
it's
merely 
that you have some updating of config files because you want to 
use
the 
manifest, and you have to doa global search and replace, then that's 
the
degree 
of "migration" weanticipated, and documented I hope.

We 
just migrated a large e-commerce Flex app from the0.95 source tree, 
to
the 
0.99 SWC, and it was a 10-minute task for one of our developers, to do 
the
migration and re-run the unit-tests.if it's a bigger task for you, 
I'm keen to
know 
the pain you're having ?


  
Item 3.2 in the docs should state that you have to copy over the 
flex-config file for your particular project and why.
We'll 
make that more explicit for those that aren't following the 
instructions
verbatim ;-) G

  
In some places, the docs show a path with '/' and sometimes without. I 
dragged my flex-config to the wrong folder (it was 1 up). The docs should be 
more consistent. 

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm 0.99

[Alistair McLeod]

Hi,

The store.cfg file should be in your WEB-INF/classes directory. Within that,
the path to the database can be relative to your webapp context root, or
absolute. The simplest way to get ti working is to change the path an
absolute path, (eg, c:\cairngorm\db), create that directory and copy the
contents of the db directory from the distribution into it. Restart your app
server and it should all work.

Cheers,

Ali

great work!!

I'm having same problem with the installation of the cairgormstore example,
(I think the problem is whit the db files) after installing everything the
application start but I get e message saying:

Product could not be retrived!

Like I said I think the problem is with db files (I'm a flash/flex developer
and not very good with db), I'm not sure I put the store.cfg (do I need to
copy it with the conf folder or just put the file in the classes dir) end db
file in the right folders.

Any help would be appriciated.

PS. I'm using e flex developer edition on a integrated jrun installation.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm 0.99

[Steven Webster]

Hey,

 then I changed the path inside the store.cfg file like this:
 
 db_path=c:\cairngormstore\db

I think (from the HSQLDB docs) that should be:

db_path=c:\\cairngormstore\\db\\

(ie you have to escape the \ character)


 Status (object #2)
 .code: Server.Processing
 .description: org/apache/log4j/Layout
 .details: 
 .level: error
 .type: 
 .rootcause (object #3)
 ..code: (undefined) 
 ..description: org/apache/log4j/Layout
 ..details: 
 ..level: error
 ..type: 

I'm concerned that the error you are getting here suggests that
it's not finding the log4j classes; log4j is used at runtime to
log exceptions, so if it's not finding your DB and then throwing
an exception, it looks like you might ALSO not have the log4j
jars copied out in the lib directory.

If you can at all use Ant to build the app

 shouldn't it be 
 
 WEBAPP_DIR/cairngormstore/WEB-INF/classes ?

Good spot, we'll fix that :-)

Let us know how you get on with the db_path above,

Best,

Steven
