Adobe Air Vs Thin Client Application

Hi,
I have very little knowledge of Adobe Air. I would like to
know the basic difference between Adobe Air & thin client
applications.
Also, does Adobe air supports web applications? if yes then
how it interacts with centralize database which resides on main
server?
Does Adobe Air works only with MySQL?
Can anyone help on this?
Thanks in advance!!

I don't see that there necessarily is a
difference. You can use AIR to build a thin client. You can use AIR
to build a thick client. It's a tool. It doesn't tell you what to
build.

AIR includes several networking facilities which
can be used to interact with a web server.

It can do it the same way a browser does: by
sending requests over HTTP, handled by server side code that
manipulates the DB. If you have a "Web Service" API, AIR supports
all the SOAP ****, too. And, there is a raw network API if you have
to hand-roll your low-level protocol.
quote:
Does Adobe Air works only with MySQL?
AIR doesn't support MySQL at all. The only
native DB support it has is for SQLite, which is used for databases
on the local file system where the AIR app resides. To access a
remote DB, you have to use some form of custom networking to reach
it.
Theoretically, you could write a MySQL network client using
the raw client socket functionality, but I don't believe this
protocol is documented. You could extract it from the MySQL source
code, but...eck. Better to set up some kind of web service
API.

  • How i upload a web page named index.html generated by NI Web UI Builder in thin client application on world wide Web

    Hello All,
                   I have an example which use simulated signal with its web service generated by LabVIEW. Then an application of this web service was created using NI web UI builder. And application was build and deployed on NI Cloud Portal, a zip file was downloaded of that project  after build and deploying application.
    The downloaded file contain a thin client application like :index.html page, readme file etc.
                  Now problems is this index.html runs easily on http://localhost:8080/appname/index.html or on my computer name like
    http://iaa42:8080/appname/index.html web page runs and shows updated values in indicators and graphs  but when i use ip address of my system like http://192.168.1.6:8080/appname/index.html , index.html runs but the values in indicator and graphs remains 0 (zero) constantly.     how can i get all indicators and graphs updating continously on by using my ip address like same when i use localhost or computer name in url bar.    1st problem is this.
    Now 2nd question.
                 I get a page index.html in a zip file built by NI web UI builder now i want this page to be viewed by every one world wide
    where should i upload that code. Should NI Cloud Portal be my hosting server for that web page ? or i have to purchase a domain other than NI cloud portal?
     Thanks in Advance
    Regards

    Hi Waqas,
    For your first question, my first thoughts turn to your router (which I assume you are using with a 192.168.x.x address). Are you sure you are configuring your ports and firewalls to allow NI services to function? Here is a really good resource on how to check if your ports and firewalls are configured properly:
    http://www.ni.com/white-paper/12402/en/
    For your second question, when you deploy a web service you are hosting it on your local machine. If you wanted to host it elsewhere (i.e. another server or another domain) you would have to be sure that the server hosting your application has the LabVIEW run-time engine installed.

              Yes, unless you are using WorkShop WebService APIs. I'm not
              sure if you need more (post to work-shop newsgroups to find out).

  • Error Installing Adobe Air from Story Desktop Application Installer

    This is truly driving me nuts already.
    Every time I try to install the Desktop Application from the Story website, it says I must install Adobe Air. So I click Install, it shows the progress bar to 100%, then errors out with a window. The window header reads "Adobe AIR Installer" and the main section of the window reads "Couldn't write the application to the hard disk. Please verify the hard disk is available and try again." - There is a Retry and Cancel. Retry does it all again with same results.
    No, I had no previous versions of Adobe Air. So I tried installing AIR direct from the Adobe website, and it installs fine. So I go back to the Story webpage and try installing the Desktop Application again and the exact same set of events as described above happens. I uninstalled the AIR install, tried again, same result.
    I had Production Premium CS3 previously, and installed Production Premium CS5 UPGRADE. All the programs in the suite work like a charm!
    I'm running Windows 7 64 bit with 208 Gig free on my C drive, as well as over 500 gig free spread out over two other drives. 8 Gig memory, and two Nvidia Qadro FX 3500 video cards (If that matters at all). Full admin rights to the PC, not limited in any way.
    A quick Google search shows plenty of other people having the same problem,  just no known fixes I've found!
    HELP!!!
    PS- I have a picture of the error message, but the insert picture link is greyed out and won't let me add anything to this post.

  • Will there be future support from Adobe AIR for Desktop native Applications

    We have a desktop native application developed using Flex SDK 4.1 and running on Adobe AIR. Now as Adobe has donated Flex SDk to Apache we are concerned about the future of this application. If we rescale our application with new versions of Flex SDk released by Apache, in future will the new versions of Adobe AIR support it? As I have read in Adobe Forums that Adobe is more concentrated on providing HTML5 support in Adobe AIR, and not working for Flex support anymore, can we face any problems going forward with this combination?

    2)

  • How should an application developer handle Adobe AIR upgrades on Windows and Mac?

    Hi,
    My questions concern Windows 7 (and later) and Mac OS X:
    Is Adobe AIR upgraded automatically? In other words, by default (if the user does not uncheck something during installation), is there a service/polling mechanism that checks for a new version of Adobe AIR and recommends an update to the user?
    What happens if a user has an older version of Adobe AIR installed, and my application requires a more recent Adobe AIR version? Do I, as an application developer, have to do something or is it handled by Adobe AIR automatically?
    Have Adobe AIR introduced many backward compatibility issues in the past? Is it possible for a user to have multiple versions of Adobe AIR installed at the same time? Can I, as an application developer, specify that this exact version of Adobe AIR is needed by my application?
    If there sometimes are backwards compatibility issues with Adobe AIR. Is there a way for me as an application developer to try out a new version before it is released to the normal users? In other words, is there a way for me to make sure that my application works with the next version of Adobe AIR before it is released by the normal channels to the general user base?
    Is there something else which should be taken into consideration when it comes to Adobe AIR upgrades and versioning issues?

    Well we would suffer especially much from two of the drawbacks listed at Packaging a captive runtime bundle for desktop computers:
    The AIR in-browser API for installing and launching an AIR application from a web page is not supported
    AIR update API and framework are not supported
    We are using the Air application as a solution for printing, which is invoked using the AIR in-browser API when the user clicks the "Print" button. I would guess the route to make it work with a captive runtime (which was something new to me), which I see as a normal stand alone application, would be to register a specific MIME type with the OS and each Web browser which is handled by our print application. And let a file of our new MIME type contain the information passed in the in-browser invocation at the moment. That would trigger the application when a user clicks Print.
    We also use the AIR update API to update our application. Being without it means that we would need to create our own update mechanism.
    These two paths to handle the given drawbacks above would mean a lot of work for us. Especially as we want to support both Windows and Mac. It might be worth it if the answers to my questions in the original post indicates that we can expect another type of problems instead.
    I am still interested in answers to my original questions. But we will certainly take the captive runtime approach into consideration. As I didn't know about it, I really appreciate your answer!
