Android application.xml

Sorry for the cross post but I'm currently having problems getting a flash build on to an android device. Upon publishing I get the error "Warning: Application has not specified its permission requirements in application.xml" Does Flash CS5 spew out application.xml (under air for aindroid) or do I need to create it manually first?
Cheers

Problem can be solved by uncommenting following code in application descriptor

The Error Message 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' shows when compiling (Ctrl + Enter) Adobe AIR for Android applications on Flash Professional CS5.5

The Error Message 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' shows when compiling (Ctrl + Enter) Adobe AIR for Android applications on Flash Professional CS5.5
This is happening for most of the pupils and staff at our school and they are unable to complete their work.
This also happens on a fresh copy of windows and CS5.5 without any updates and also with all latest updates.
I have tried it on 32-bit and 64-bit CS5, Windows, Air and Java with the same error every time.
There are a small minority of users where this works fine for them with no issue.
I have tried re-setting user profiles.
I have tried a local admin and domain admin account with the same issue
I have noticed however that if the file is moved to the shared area it will compile. If it is on their documents area it will not compile. The users have full control in both locations. This is fine for staff but we are unable to give full control or modify access to the shared area for the pupil's
I have been through the online support section and it directed me to phone Adobe Customer care who informed me that all support has been discontinued for CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 and they will only support creative cloud.
Any ideas what to try next? There is no other information about this error and I cannot work out what is causing it.

I have tried and able to package an apk using your XML file.Could you please make sure your XML file starting from line 1 and coloumn 0.Any space will results in the error (Application Descriptor file cannot be parsed)

OData SDMConnectivity component - HttpRequest for Android application

Hi,
I am trying to consume a Odata Service from my Native Android Application.
I am following the same steps as described in OData SDK Document.
By Default, SDMConnectivity component is performing SUP Request. I need to change this to use HTTP/HTTPS Request for my Android Application. I couldnot find the way to do this, from the OData SDK.
For iOS Applicaiton, this is done using setRequest/SDMHTTPRequest. Any idea, how the same is achieved for Android application ?
Regards
Elavarasan S

1. Create the request URL that will be sent.
String requestUrl = http://<Gateway_Host>:<Gateway_Port>/sap/opu/sdata/iwfnd/RMTSAMPLEFLIGHT/GetAvailableFlights?cityfrom= + cityFrom + "&cityto=" + cityTo + "&fromdate=" + fromDate + "&todate=" + toDate;
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
client.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY,
new UsernamePasswordCredentials("<Gateway_User>", "<Gateway_Password>"));
2. Create a Get request.
HttpGet getRequest = new HttpGet();
// buffer reader to read the response
BufferedReader bufferedReader = null;
// placeholder for the service response
HttpResponse response = null;
getRequest.setURI(new URI(requestUrl));
getRequest.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml");
getRequest.setHeader("Host", getRequest.getURI().getHost());
5. Execute the request.
response = client.execute(getRequest);
I hope that helps

Creating Android Applications

Hi Everyone
Here is my story: I have the adobe master suite and want to start creating android applications. What program should i use?
I have heard that flash builder is good for creating applications however i also hear that it requires sdks. Which ones should i get. How do install them? etc.
If possible aswell could you give me a link to video showing me all theses things as i learn much bettert with a visual.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response!

The arch-wiki-docs package is in HTML and I'm using WebView to read it locally. The arch-wiki-lite package is a text file. Maybe I could import it into a database? Either way, using that package will require me to create the whole layout.

I've used Titanium Studio before, which I think is pretty similar to Phonegap, but I do want to make this one with Java.

40MB is the compressed size. The html docs are over 100MB uncompressed. I think I could significantly reduce the size by removing the non-english pages, but I can't figure out a systematic way to find them. There are 3551 pages and they use names like 00000965.html, 00000967.html, 00000968.html, 00000974.html, etc. (Of those 967 isn't english, but the other three are.)
rickeyski wrote: 4. the biggest plus is the android docs and examples apps are very good, start reading.
Yup. I've been reading through those a lot. They are a big help.

Error-page tag not valid in global-web-application.xml ?

Hi!
From what I understand about the global-web-application.xml file in Oracle's documentation, the content of the web-app tag should be inherited to all web application as a web.xml content.
One of the web.xml tags is error-page, which contains the page url for the standard return codes (404, 500, and so on).
If I put the error-page on the web.xml inside a web application, it works as expected.
But if I don't put this tag inside the web applicaction, but in the global-web-applicacion.xml (web-app) tag, it doesn't work.
We are testing the 404 error page, but I don't know if it is because the application server can't find the error page or because the global-web-application.xml isn't being inherited correctly.
Where is this file supposed to be looked for? Or the only way to do this is by writing the configuration on all web applications?
We are using 9.0.3

Problem with application.xml

Hi,
I would be really grateful if anybody could help me on this. My application.xml is given below:

Error copying application.xml icons: .../bin-release/assets/icons' does not exist

Hi,
Whenever I try to export the release build I get error from COmpiler during the process that "Error copying application.xml icons: Resource '/Project_Name/bin-release/assets/icons' does not exist." I have specified 4 icons in the -app.xml file of sizes 16,32,48,128 which exist in the path specified and files are not corrupt. I have checked and unchecked the compiler directive "Copy non-embedded resources in the Output file" but that has not helped too.
Can somebody please advise what do I do in this situation?

Frank,
Thank you for your answer. I had not checked (will do so tonight).
I had considered it adequate to wipe out the entire system directory (thereby wiping out the integrated weblogic server), but perhaps it was not adequate? I did not specify that this is on the integrated server, but that is the case....

Application.xml over-written when deploying JDeveloper 10.1.3.2

Hi all,
I created a Web Application that contains JSF, EJB, and Toplink. I have a ViewController project, a Model project, and a Deployment project. The ViewController obviously contains my JSPs, etc, the Model my EJBs and server code, and deployment profiles for each. The Deployment project contains a deployment profile for creating the EAR file for the other two projects.
When the EAR is created (or if I deploy to stand-alone OC4J) the application.xml is generated without an module/EJB tag containing my EJB jar. Therefore when the server starts up it does not find any of my EJBs.
If I manually modify the application.xml in a created EAR file and then deploy it manually, everything works great. So, I tried to create an application.xml file in my Deployment project (and I tried in my ViewController project, too), but it ends up getting over-written and changed to still not have the module/EJB tag. Can someone explain to me how to stop JDeveloper from overriding this file or how to get JDeveloper to include this tag set when creating the application.xml?
Thanks,
Mike

JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 supports J2EE 1.4 in which the web.xml does not include the

Add the taglib JAR file to project libraries.

How to include custom application.xml in JDev9i project

Can anybody explain to me how to include a custom application.xml file when deploying to an .ear file? I need to include application wide security roles, and I can't see where in Jev9i how to do this.
After searching this forum, I see that jdev9i can't include the orion-application.xml, but I want to include just the standard J2EE application.xml. Is this possible?
Thanks,
matt

The standard application.xml file unfortunately can't be customized in JDev 9.0.2. The reasons why this capability was left out of JDev 9.0.2 are same reasons why the other EAR-level XML files were excluded. The OTN thread
Re: Regarding 11i and E-business suite
has a summary of those reasons, which you've probably seen. We know this is an area in need of improvement and will be adding this functionality in the JDev 9.0.3 release. Until then, you'll have to go with a work-around like an Ant build file, batch file, Java application, or some other kind of script.
Below is a sample Java application which can be used to insert <security-role> elements into an EAR file's application.xml. Modify the main() method to customize for your purposes, and put xmlparserv2.jar on the classpath (in a JDev project, add the "Oracle XML Parser v2" library):

Thanks, Flex harUI, for the direction in regards to isolating build changes. That aside (still working on it), can you offer any direction in regards to my original question on SDK and AIR compatibility? I'm specifically looking for a version compatibility mapping or anything that definitively states, "Flex SDK x.y.z works with the following versions of AIR". This information is crucial for us in order to more specifically plan our own roadmap built upon these two frameworks as we consider both existing installations of our software and future distributions.

Newbie: orion-application.xml in both deployment and applications dirs

Okay,
I am using OAS 10.1.2.2 and have deployed an OC4J instance with a web application. The web application that I deployed (from a .war file) was installed normally but for some reason I have an orion-application.xml file in both the +/application-deployments/webappname/+ and the +/applications/webappname/META-INF/+ directories. They look almost identical with the differences noted below:
applications directory version:
This file has a complete definition for the jazn provider but is missing a reference to the principals.xml file.
jazn section looks like this:
     <jazn provider="LDAP" location="ldap://ldap.server.edu:389">
          <property name="ldap.user" value="cn=username" />
          <property name="ldap.password" value="!password" />
          <property name="ldap.cache.session.enable" value="false"/>
          <property name="ldap.cache.realm.enable" value="false"/>
          <property name="ldap.cache.policy.enable" value="false"/>
          <property name="jaas.username.simple" value="true" />
          <jazn-web-app auth-method="SSO"/>
     </jazn>
application-deployments directory version:
It points to a principals.xml file and gives a generic definition for the jazn provider (specifies provider="LDAP" and a default-realm but no location attribute in the jazn tag).
jazn section looks like this:
     <jazn provider="LDAP" default-realm="whidbey1">
          <jazn-web-app auth-method="SSO"/>
          <property name="jaas.username.simple" value="true" />
     </jazn>
I assume the one defined in the +/applications/webappname/META-INF+ is the proper one since it has all the detailed OID connection information. However, are both needed? If so, why? If not, which one is being used and why would there be two of them?
I've checked all the documentation and have found several references to it being installed in one or the other place but not both.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Hi,
The difference between these files is this:
The one in the applications/ tree is the one that comes packaged in your ear file. This is a way to package your deployment preferences. At deployment time, enterprise manager extracts this file to configure your deployment.
The one in the application-deployments directory is the one that is actually in use.
LDAP connection from OC4J containers is specified on the container level, because this is container-level security. This means that using the enterprise manager, you configure your container to connect to the LDAP (enterprise manager, tab administration, item Identity Management). In the orion-application.xml, you no longer need the details because they are stored on container level. So these are removed when deploying your application, leaving only what you see.
The configuration parameters you specify can be added as container startup parameters using -Dparam=value.

Using ADL when Application.xml and Content.swf are not in the BIN directory

Hello, I am trying to use the air debug launcher (ADL) to
launch a simple air app. My issue is I am trying to have ADL launch
this app from outside of the bin directory of the SDK. Whenever I
try to pass adl the full path to the Applicaiton.xml file it says
"application descriptor not found" Does anyone know how to get
around this? How can I run an AIR app that is outside of the bin?
My situation C:\AIR has the Applicaiton.xml and Content.swf
files, then a directory way below C:\Program Files\....\..... has
the bin directory. I can run adl using its full path C:\Program
Files\....\bin\adl, but when I pass it the full path for
Application.xml it fails.
By the way when I put everything in the bin, or below the bin
it works just fine.

If you're receiving this error message then the full path
you're specifying for application.xml must be incorrect.

Integrating orion-application.xml deployment with JDeveloper?

Hi all,
I am trying to create JAAS secured web/ear application but haven't found the
way to integrate the orion-application.xml file in the JDeveloper
deployment process. An alternative would be to insert orion-application.xml tags
into orion-web.xml and copy this one to the usual WEB-INF along with web.xml
another possibility would be directly copying orion-application.xml to the
%J2EE_HOME%\application-deployments\MyApp\orion-application.xml after deployed
in the OC4J Server, but would be lot easier just having JDeveloper deploy it
automatically, what is the way to do it?

Giovanni
