Dave Lerman commented on THRIFT-518:
------------------------------------
David - I don't believe it's committed yet, so you'd need to get the source and
apply Aron's patch. Then just build following the regular build instructions
and you should be able to use the as3 functionality. We're using it in
production apps and it's working well.

> Key: THRIFT-518
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-518
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Dave Lerman
> Attachments: cleaner.patch, thrift_as3.diff, thrift_as3.diff
>
>
> 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.
