Flex and mobile development for webOS?

Do the 'Hero' and 'Burrito' products provide the ability to implement Flex code for the webOS platform? Or is the webOS platform not supported yet? If Flex isn't ready for the webOS platform now, then I suppose I will need to use JavaScript and HTML 5 on webOS for now.
The webOS platform is the go-forward strategy for Hewlett-Packard for both smart phones and tablets.

The right place to look for updates on Flex is http://flex.apache.org
The good thing is that activities are still going on. The bad things are that:
- Unless the dependency to Adobe air is cut, Flex as an open source project is bound to fail imho. See FlexJS for updates on that point
- Current activties seem to be focused around making things more polished rather than working on hard stuff (typically developing an independent and open source runtime execution engine => flexJS)
So...
For a small company, home development, not so business critical applications, I recommend warmly Flex, since it is one of the best (if not the best) cross-platform mobile development environment (Very good performances if used appropriately, very good programming environment, lots of components, structured language, lots of documentation and tutorials, easy to design, etc.)
for business critical applications... The risk is high !

What is the state if flex, and air development for air

Hi,
1- I wanted to know what is the state of affairs in flex and air as cross platform mobile development solutions?
2- Are they still worth learning and spending time developing mobile application using these technologies?
Becuase all the documnetation forum posts and most of the help material I come across is almost a year old.
Any guidance in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Can I use a domain for one site and mobile me for a different site?

Can I use a domain for one site and mobile me for a different site?
I have two sites, I would like to have up and I would like to do one through a domain and one through mobileme is this possible?

Yes you can. You can use the CNAME method of forwarding for the first site (the top site in iWeb) and use the MMe URL for your account for the other site: http://web.me.com/YourAccount_Name/SiteName/

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.

Flex and BlazeDS Compile for Deployement

Hi,
I've been following the Flex + BlazeDS tutorial on the Message Service from adobe to start learning working with blazeds. Everything worked out great on the local server of course but I got stuck when it came to moving the files to a remote server. I've looked around quite a lot and found out it's because the compiler feeds the services-config.xml upon compile and at lease in my case won't take and external file. The solution everyone has been posting on the net is writing the channels in actionscript within flex and feedin it the valid endpoint that would be found in the xml configuration file. That's all nice and dandy but everyone has been talking and showing examples of this being done for RemoteObject and I haven't managed to find any examples for Messaging.
Can anyone help me out with an example on how to deploy my application to a server? (either by coding the channels in AS or otherwise) The application itself is pretty basic...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
      xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
      xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="200" minHeight="480" creationComplete="consumer.subscribe()" width="250" currentState="EnterName">
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
   import mx.messaging.events.MessageEvent;
   import spark.events.TextOperationEvent;
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:states>
<s:State name="Chat"/>
<s:State name="EnterName"/>
</s:states>
<fx:Declarations>
<s:Producer id="producer" destination="chat"/>
<s:Consumer id="consumer" destination="chat" message="messageHandler(event.message)"/>
</fx:Declarations>
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
   import mx.messaging.messages.AsyncMessage;
   import mx.messaging.messages.IMessage;
   private function send():void{
    var message:IMessage = new AsyncMessage();
    message.body.chatMessage = user.text + ":" + " " + msg.text;
    producer.send(message);
    msg.text = "";
   private function messageHandler(message:IMessage):void{
    log.text += message.body.chatMessage + "\n";
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:Panel title="Chat" width="100%" height="100%">
<s:TextArea id="log" height="377" x="10" y="10" width="228" includeIn="Chat"/>
<mx:ControlBar width="246" height="52" x="1" y="395" includeIn="Chat">
   <s:TextInput id="msg" width="100%" enter="send()"/>
   <s:Button label="Send B" click="send()"/>
   </mx:ControlBar>
<s:TextInput includeIn="EnterName" x="60" y="177" id="user" />
<s:Button includeIn="EnterName" x="87" y="207" label="Start Chat" id="chat" click="chat_clickHandler(event)"/>
<s:Label includeIn="EnterName" x="57" y="157" text="Please Enter Your Name"/>
</s:Panel>
</s:Applicatio>
And besides that in the messaging-config.xml file on the server a destination with the id="chat" is created and that's it.
Any help or pointing in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Nick

Update:
Ok...I finally figured out that by replacing the tokens in the services-config.xml file with the physical address of the server everything works.
Anyway...this means the application needs to be compiled everytime it is moved to a new server or even a different folder on the same server for that matter. Is there any way to pass the {server.name}, {server.port} and {context.root} tokens to the application at runtime for messaging?
Thanks,

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.

Another approach, generate the proxy from the java

How to get telephone and mobile phone for one partner

Hello Expert,
In VA03, I open one sales order and go into the partner tab. Then I selection one partner and click "Detail" button, one page with partner detailed information will pop up.
In the pop-up window:
There are two fields: Telephone and Mobile Phone.
In my program, I want to get these two information.
I tried to call FM 'ADDR_COMM_GET' by passing address_number(VBPA-ADRNR), table_type('ADTEL'), iv_current_state(SPACE). For some partner, it works, but for others it doesn't work.
Then I find table ADR2 which is used to keep phone infomration. There are two entries in the table. But how can I identity which one is telephone and which one is Mobile phone?
So can any expert help me on how to get the telephone and Mobile Phone of the pop-up page?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards, Johnny.

Read ADR2-TEL_NUMBER where ADDRNUMBER = VBPA-ADRNR and R3_USER = '2' or '3'.
These are the possible values
        Telephone is Landline Telephone
1     Telephone is Default Under Landline Telephones
2     Telephone is Mobile Telephone but Not Default Mobile Phone
3     Telephone is Default Mobile Telephone
X     Obsolete - No Longer Valid

Flash Builder 4.0 Standalone VS Plugin for Flex and Java Development

Hello,
I have recently installed Flash Builder 4.0 for a personal project. The server side of the project was going to be developed in ASP.NET but at the last minute I decided to change it to Java. However now I am wondering if it would be better to uninstall and install Eclipse with the Flash Builder 4.0 plugin.
I am not really asking which one is better, I guess both are pretty much the same (though I wonder what features are not included in the Eclipse plugin), however I want to know which one would let me create an easier workflow model for the development now that I am going to use Java as well.
I am open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks,
Jorge

Hey guys, I'm brand new to this as well and you probably don't need an answer now but I found this anyway:
Flex Builder and Flash Builder both function as Plug-ins to Eclipse, though each also comes in a "stand-alone" flavor - which is still eclipse, but with a lot of the Eclipse functionality torn out for a smaller footprint.

Understanding JavaFx, Flex, and Openlaszlo offerings for RIAs

I'm interested in improving certain aspects of my UI and I recently stumbled upon javafx/flex/openlaszlo (OL). I'd like to understand:
1. What is needed to develop & deploy javafx. Does it have "gotchas" like Flex, where the sdk is open source, but development and deployment tools are proprietary?
2. How easy is javafx to pickup?
3. Specifically, I'd like to use javafx ( or flex/OL) to either augment or replace an editable table I created using js, ajax, html, and css. Is this the type of thing javafx can/should be used for? Are there any drawbacks or pitfalls to using javafx for this rather than straight js, ajax, html, css?
4. How does javafx compare to flex/OL (as this is a java forum, I do understand that people may not have used flex/OL; but any subjective/objective feedback is helpful)?
Thanks.

Does it have "gotchas" like Flex, where the sdk is open source, but development and deployment tools are proprietary?Currently, yes... Only the compiler is open source, the runtime is currently closed. Although it isn't unreasonable to think it might be (at least partially) opened in the future, once it is stabilized.
Development: can be done with a simple editor and the compiler, and deployment with the command line utility. That's what I use. You can also use NetBeans (open source, decent support of JavaFX) or Eclipse (open source also, support of JFX is a bit lacking, from what I know).
2. The base is quite easy. You have to forget some habits (from Java in general), you have to know some workarounds, but basically it isn't really hard to learn.
3. Table support is currently light, it is planned to be more comprehensive. Currently, you can use a number of third party table components. Or if you don't care about mobile phone support, you can still use Swing components.

Flex and multilanguage support for webUI

I am looking into Flex as the next-gen development system for
our web apps. I do not know very much about Flex at this time, but
I need to find out how Flex handles multilanguage capability.
Currently, we make heavy use of JS and DHTML for our UI
design, and to support different languages we separate out all our
strings into individual files (utf8) that are translated. The
client-side JS will make a call to the server to determine the
user's language preference and load the appropriate string file
when rendering the UI.
I need to know if something like this is possible in the Flex
environment, or how Flex handles multilanguage string separation.
Thanks

Hi Lalo,
well, I am still not sure what your problem is - but....
The selection of the Code Group for example happens in:
BAPI_CODEGROUP_CODE_GETLIST
Well, this method is called in ALM_ME_CODEGRP_GETDETAIL and there you find the line
langu = sy-langu
so this defines the language.
Perhaps this helps you to solve your issue and understand the process a little? So you are right - it is the GETDETAIL handler as such - but the language in there is defined by sy-language as you see. Change the language and all should be fine.
Regards,
Oliver
Edited by: Oliver Kaluscha on Jan 30, 2008 2:19 PM
oh - just to mention - MAM017 and so on are running under the RFC user in the backend - so the language of the current user on the PDA will not really help here I think.
Regards,
Oliver

Installing Oracle 10G and SQL Developer for Windows 7 Home Premium

Thanks ,
satish.pWith the caveat (as already pointed out by Srini in this thread) that no Oracle product has ever been certified on any "home" edition of any version of Oracle ...
If I were looking to download any product, I'd start by going to that company's web site (like, www.oracle.com) and look for a tab or link called "download". I'll bet if you did that, you'd find all sorts of goodies.
But, again, since you are dealing with a "home" edition of Windows, you'll need to start by installing a virtual machine product -- VM Ware's "VMworkstation" or "VMplayer", or Oracle's VirtualBox. Then you can create a virtual machine running a supported OS. Oracle's own Linux (derived from Red Hat Linux) is also free.

   Can b open and edit the rpt file which was created by a?or I have to create new report by Crystal Reports Developer ?
   Is there any tools which is used for transfering the rpt file from Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 to CrystalReport Developer version?
   If I buy developer version,which version is the fastest for transfering from Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 to CrystalReport Developer version?
thanks!!!!

Hi Jeff,
[This|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Available%20Export%20Formats%2C%20Crystal%20Reports%209.1%20to%20Crystal%20Reports%202008] has a listing of product version and export capabilities.
If you go with the designer you will need to get Crystal Reports 2008 as it is the only version compatible with VS.NET 2008. There is no developer/standard/professional editions any longer. It is just a single product now.
