-----------------------------------
<sorry if this repeats on the mailing list-- I am unsure if posted- no feedback>
Hi,
I would like to ask for commit access for adding and maintaining the
AS3(Flash/Flex) port. I have been tweaking the existing patch to add some more
features and it would be nice to put it into a repo and let others use it too.
The AS3 port is a close copy of Java, with some missing features like: union.
My fixes to the existing patch:
fixed service inheritance.
implementing servers/processor. While no one will write a flash server, it is
useful to make push events from like a java server over a full duplex http
connection.
full duplex http transport using chucked Transfer encoding.
If there is no way to gain commit access, I can maintain a public fork... but
it is probably less optimal.

> Project: Thrift

> There's been various mailing list discussions about ActionScript 3 support,
> but I didn't see an associated JIRA so I thought I'd create one.
> The goal would be to allow a Flash or Flex project to call a Thrift service
> as an alternative to Flash's built-in web services and RPC implementations.
> A developer might want to use Thrift instead of SOAP, REST or AMF for it's
> code generation, strong typing, or for interoperability with existing
> Thrift-based services.
> The Flash code would look something like:
> {code}
> public function testFunction() {
> var client:Service = new ServiceImpl(new TBinaryProtocol(
> new THttpClient(new URLRequest("http://service.com";)));
> client.ping("hello world", handlePingResponse);
> }
> private function handlePingResponse(response:String):void {
> trace("RESPONSE: " + response);
> }
> {code}
> where Service is the generated Flash interface, ServiceImpl is the generated
> client which implements Service, and THttpClient is an implementation of
> TTransport.
> Note that Flash is a single-threaded environment so the call is necessarily
> asynchronous.
> The attached patch is a first-pass at an implementation. It's basically a
> line-for-line partial port of the java lib and generator. The lib contains a
> single protocol (TBinaryProtocol) and a single transport (THttpClient), along
> with a generator which generates the interface and client implementation
> (server implementation is skipped since this seems unlikely to be useful).
> It still needs some work -- it's untested except for the specific thrift
> services we use internally, and needs documentation and cleanup. I'm happy
> to do this work if there's general interest in adding as3 support - let me
> know.
