Accessing the host component in a PDF navigator

Question

Hi all,
I'm trying to access the host (i.e reader or acrobat) in a PDF navigator (Portfolio) created in flash builder.
I have seen numerous examples that override the host set method by doing the following:
public function set host(host:INavigatorHost):void
                                             if(host != null) {
                                                       _host = host;
                                                       startEverything();
                                             } else {
                                                       _host = null;
                                                       //Alert.show("Navigator Ending");
Then the _host:INavigatorHost is used to access the host application.
When I try to do this using Flex 4.1 it tells me that this method is not marked for override.
If i just try to access 'host' it tells me that it is 'write-only'.
Any help at all, or another method would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
there are several possibilities to achieve that.
For example
- JDO
- SQLJ
- direct access to the database via JDBC from your WD Controller (not recommended).
For more information about JDO see at
/program files/SAP/JDT/eclipse/examples
There you will find the tutorial J2EE_GettingStartedJDO
For general information about Java persistence have a look at
