Flex and J2EE project

Trying to create a Flex J2EE project in Eclipse when I get to
the Server setup the wizard wants the location of the Flex war
file. I give it the name of my project, still an error What's the
problem here.
Shouldn't the wizard setup an new project war file?

Root folder:
X:\server\mycompany\deploy\flex.war
Where X:\ is actually a drive on your server. Use C:\ D:\ or
E:\ if you run LCDS on your dev machine. In my case, X:\ is a Samba
connection to a Linux drive on my server where LCDS is installed.
Root URL:
http://hostname.int.mycompany.com/flex
E.g if you installed JBoss on your dev machine, use
http://localhost:8080/flex
Context root:
/flex

Flex and J2EE

I am using the Flex 3 SDK. On the server side, I am using
Java.
I looked at the Flex 3 SDK documentation and I found the Flex
3 compiler modules for Apache and IIS:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=apache_1.html
Is there a Java servlet filter that can compile MXML files on
demand?
Thanks in advance.

I found the FlexMxmlServlet.
1) visit
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Downloads
2) download: FlexModule_j2ee.zip
The zip file contains the FlexMxmlServlet and a Flex JSP Tag
Library.
Curiously, I can't find the source code for the
FlexMxmlServlet or the Flex JSP Tag Library. I looked in Adobe's
Subversion repository but the code is not there.
Anyway, here is a web.xml file that shows how to use the
servlet and the tag library:

Sharing code between Flex and AIR versions using library project

Hello everyone,
I'm developing an application that has both Flex and AIR versions. In order to share code between these apps, I created a library project and added all my code there. Now I've set the library project as a dependency for both Flex and AIR projects. Since there are some components that use the DataService object, I've added fds.swc and fds_rb.swc and fiber_rb.swc modules to the libs directory of the library project. No compile errors. Now, if I try to run my Flex application, I'm getting this error:
Variable mx.data::LocalStoreFactory is not defined.
I know that this error comes up when playerfds.swc is not present in the path. But that is not the case here. I have added playerfds.swc, fds.swc and related lib files to the build path.
If I go back and add the playerfds.swc file to the original library project, the error no longer appears. This is not a proper solution for me, since I need to share this project with AIR version also, and I cannot have both playerfds.swc and airfds.swc in the same project.. Has anyone faced an issue like this before?? What am I doing wrong??

Flex mobile and PHP project

Hi! Recently I've downloaded the Flash Builder for PHP to work with my Zend Server remotely located in OpenShift online. I did not download and install the Zend Server physically on my computer. Hence, when creating the Flex mobile and PHP project, I couldn't find my web root address. Now I have an error connecting to the MySQl database in the server from the Flash Builder. Can someone help me with this? I'm new to using these programs.
I'm following this guide on building mobile apps:
http://files.zend.com/help/Flash-Builder-for-PHP/Getting-Started/Mobile/build_a_mobile_(ph p)_application.htm#Step_13:_Preview_the_Mobile_Application_Using_the_Desktop_Emulator

PHP is server side.
If you want to have a app to function offline you would probably need sqlite and then code actionscript to synch data when the device regains it's connectivity.

Hi Yair
It appears that WLS only supports mapping a directory to a jar in APP-INF/lib/
C\:/runtime-New_configuration/Common/bin = APP-INF/lib/Common.jar
but NOT to a jar in WEB-INF/lib.
Engineering will look into it sometime to fix it.
Workaround Suggested:
As a workaround, you can include the Java/Utility project as part of the EAR and set as dependent J2EE module to the Web project.
Hope this helps.

Bug with swc folders and library projects?

Hi guys, hope someone can help here. We are just in the
process of starting a fairly large flex project and we were trying
to work out a solution so that I as a designer can view and edit
custom components with visual styles applied.
Now I know that you aren't meant to add a style tag into the
component but it was working for me and I could at least preview
the styles in 'design mode'.
The problem arises though when you have a large project with
shared assets across projects. I had 3 projects set up in my
workspace:
Project 1: Library project with css files, swc and graphics
Project 2: Library project with components for Project 3
Application
Project 3: Application project
What I did was to add a external source folder to Project 2
& 3 both of which was Project 1. So far so good, the css loaded
into my application from Project 1 and I could view my styles in my
custom componants in Project 2
But, I needed to add swc files for custom buttons etc in my
application. So, I thought I would just add an swc folder source to
my build path in both my Project 2 & 3 which referenced an swc
folder in Project 1. Well, it did work and I could view everything
fine but (and here is the main problem) this corrupts the
workspace. Once Flex has closed and tries to reopen my workspace it
hangs, same if I change workspace in Flex from another workspace to
this one.
Can anyone help? Is this a flex bug?
TIA

Error while creating New flex data services project

Hi
Error: Invalid server root. flex-config.xml or

within the server root.
Trying to create flex data services project with Weblogic8.1
as the j2ee server, but am geting the above error in the screen
where i point to the root of the server.
I did deploy flex on weblogic.
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you

Hi Nj,
Thanks for you reply, I did point root folder to WEB-INF

weblogics "c://bea/userprojects/applications/appname/"
this the value in the root folder field "

Let me know if am doing anything wrong.
thank you

Flex and Java on Desktop

Hi
We are having this requirement , we want to develop a
application using flex for adobe AIR runtime which will communicate
with java in the desktop, we are not having any servers here, so
flex application want to communicate with java classes with out the
help of any server so I can't use httpservice, webservice or
remoting .
I like to know the ways to communicate from flex 3.0(Adobe
AIR) to java files (java takes care of splitting PowerPoint
files and converting it into serious of jpeg files, and
creating ppt files from the objects returned from flex ).
Is there any other way to communicate form between flex and
java in the desktop ??? please give inputs
Thiru

Hi,
you could use XMLSocket or Socket classes depending on the
type of communication you want to stablish.
I have been testing this for a while although not for a
project.
However my impression is that you need to install the AIR app
which is self-extracted and installed, but in second hand, you have
to install the Java app, that acts as a server, and it must be
executed every time your AIR app is, and the other way around.
Untill now I haven't got any idea on doing this without too
much work, but you can take a look at the Merapi project.

Getting Started with Flex and Java RPC for Free?

Good Morning,
Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post- I'm
just having trouble wrapping my head around what is and what isn't
available for free in the Adobe Flex world.
I've been working on an application for the last few months
using Open Laszlo (
http://www.openlaszlo.org/),
but I've been running into frustrations with their lack of
up-to-date documentation, and I've found it difficult to bring new
people into the project, since the set of users who know it is so
small.
While I do like that I can compile to DHTML, that's not
enough to hold me there.
I've been looking into Adobe Flex, and it seems like a good
alternative- I'm comfortable paying $500 for the IDE-
I use Eclipse currently, so having a plugin for it sounds
ideal. That said, when I look into ways to talk to a Java backend,
everything points to Flex Data services, which is now part of some
larger package costing tens of thousands of dollars.
I don't need advanced messages, or data synchronization, as
nice as it would be.. All I really need is the ability to call a
Java method, and get an object back, which I can then work with in
Flex.
I see the forum message that asks
"How
do I 'do' Flash for free?, but this only talks about RPC very
broadly. Given that the message is from over a year ago, I thought
it would be better form to start a new topic, than replying to it.
Can someone explain to me what components I'd need, both on
the client side and the server side?
Is there a set of manuals that explain how to do Flex RPC
from Java?
Can Flex compile to any versions of flash earlier than 9?
(Flash 6/7 is still in wide deployment)
Do I want to start using Flex 2, or Flex 3? Are the
components compatible? Will the F3 docs be ready?
Finally, where can I purchase the Charting components? The
ability to create charts such as
this
overcome a decent price barrier.
Thank you for any insight you can offer, and direction you
can provide.

Using Flex with Microsoft Project

I am absolutely brand new to FLEX. What I saw on the Adobe
site was a data chart that could be drilled down to expose
additional layers of "contriburory detail" for the master graph.
What I am wondering is if it is possible to do something
similar using Micrsoft Project Data as the basis. MS Project will
allow users to save the file as XML. So, all the data should be
available in a form understandable to FLEX.
Here's the tricky part (and I can add more detail if needed).
Project will create a summary line (at some level of indentue) and
show you a calculated %Complete such as 47%. So, level of indenture
1 I have the major summary tasks of the project at various status
of %Complete. I believe FLEX can make some type of bar or pie chart
out of that for me. What I want to do is click on a "Level1"
indenture and have it expose the Level2 indure that contributes to
that 47%. Then drill on one of the Level2's to Level3 .... to Level
"n".
This needs to be accomplished in "stand alone" fashion so the
ultimate user can launch a desktop application and tell the
application the name of the Microsoft Project XML file. We will not
be able to use Client/Server ... client side only with the file
located either locally or at least on a network drive.
Can this be done? Has anyone looked at a MS Project XML
schema to see if there is sufficeint information available?
OK, now the blunt truth. It ain't %Complete that I care
about. What I care about is BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, %Complete, and a few
other parameters. These are the "Earned Value Fields". If you do
not know what they are, don't worry about it just now .... it is
really all just time phased data.
Can anyone give me some advice or an opinion? TIA.

Problem intregrating Flash help usingRobohelp 8.0 into J2EE project

Hi,
I have am working on J2EE project and I have a small issue with getting Flash to run off my localhost server. I have managed to get the webhelp working but I want to see what the help looks like using flash. I am getting and error when I am trying load the index file:
"invalid path was requested /application/FlashHelp/whproj"
I am using have Apache 6.0, struts 1.2. It loads from the hard drive in both IE and FIrefox but not when I am running from the server. When running on localhost in Firefox it loads the righthand contents page but none of the dynamic content. In IE8 it load nothing at all (I assume because it doesn't know what to do after the error is thrown).
Can anyone shed some light on this topic?
thanks

The problem is solved. The apache server was filtering out .xml files so it was not loading whproj.xml thus all the other *.xml and subsequent flash objects were not loading. That was only 2 days of trial and error.

Which is better as UI technology among Flex and Oracle ADF for oracle SOA suit

We have one application which is using oracle’s Service oriented Architecture (SoA) suite. Currently, there is a debate on the technology for UI in the new architecture that will be rich, easy to maintain, scalable and integrates well with SOA suite. We have two options one is Flex and other is Oracle ADF. UI part contains number of graphs, tabular and charts data. So it would be great if any one suggest which technolgy will be better for UI point of view. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I looked at the demo
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/ADF112/ADF112.html
It's interesting.
However, I would point out two things:
1- Before Oracle, Sun failed with UI technologies: there was AWT then Swing then Java FX. None of them was a star. The only place where Sun really won the UI war is the Bluray Disc format.
2- About half of the RIA in the financial/banking industry are developed with Flex, the other half is developed with Silverlight / WPF. HTML 5 is being taken up by some, but you still end up with the usual problem of having to pick up an AJAX framework, and get tied to a vendor anyway in the end. Never heard about any project developed with Oracle ADF yet.

I looked at the demo
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/ADF112/ADF112.html
It's interesting.
However, I would point out two things:
1- Before Oracle, Sun failed with UI technologies: there was AWT then Swing then Java FX. None of them was a star. The only place where Sun really won the UI war is the Bluray Disc format.
2- About half of the RIA in the financial/banking industry are developed with Flex, the other half is developed with Silverlight / WPF. HTML 5 is being taken up by some, but you still end up with the usual problem of having to pick up an AJAX framework, and get tied to a vendor anyway in the end. Never heard about any project developed with Oracle ADF yet.
