Flex databinding and webservices

Hi everyone,
At the beginning, i asked this on the Flex forum but they redirected me here, hoping i could find an answer.
I have a JBoss server, getting some data for my Flex/AIR client. The client is requesting the data using SOAP webservices.
The trouble is that it's getting really complex to handle the data so i basically want to use the databinding feature, or some pattern to make it easier.
The goal isn't only displaying, but also editing the data so that it's automatically sent to the JBoss server (and eventually auto-refreshing on other clients).
That's why i really want to use some kind of databinding, which totally fits: the displayed value is totally synchronized with the dataprovider variable. I would like to use that with external data (through webservice in the best case), hoping you know a way/pattern/feature to make it work.
Thank you very much.

  • Flex SDK and AIR runtime version in mobile

    Hi, guys.
    I'm trying to make my first Flex mobile app.
    I'm a little confused about the relationship between Flex SDK and AIR  runtime versions for mobile development.
    In the "Developing Mobile Applications with ADOBE FLEX 4.6 and ADOBE FLASH BUILDER 4.6" pdf document, it says:
    "AIR requirements
    Flex mobile projects and ActionScript mobile projects require AIR 2.6 or a higher version. You can run mobile projects on physical devices that support AIR 2.6 or a higher version of AIR.
    You can install AIR 2.6 or a higher version only on supported Android devices that run Android 2.2 or a higher version. For the complete list of supported Android devices, see Certified Devices. Also, review the minimum system requirements to run Adobe AIR on Android devices at Mobile System Requirements.
    Note: If you do not have a device that supports AIR 2.6 or a higher version of AIR, you can use Flash Builder to launch and debug mobile applications on the desktop."
    So, I go and check the Certified devices in http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/flashruntimes/certified-devices.html and find that the minimun FLASH PLAYER version accepted by ALL devices is FP 10.1
    1. Does this mean that if I want to release an app to target ALL mobile devices, then I can only use Flex 4.5?
    2. Do support for Flash Player mean the same than support for Adobe AIR? Or the application will prompt the user to install whatever version of the AIR runtime and all of them would be supported by the device, even in the FLASH PLAYER support is for a lesser version?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your help, Flex harUI,
    The first impression that comes to mind is that FP version is indeed only for the web browser plugin. Then, why does the official Flex 4.6 mobile development documentation have a link to that page that only speaks about the supported FP version in mobiles under the title "AIR requirements"??
    This makes it way too confusing.
    Do you know whether there is something like an equivalent matrix/list of mobile devices with their supported AIR runtime versions?  I went a great deal in trying to keep my original app under 400kb... I didn't know that in the end it would end up weighing 9.5Mb... :S
    Thanks again,

  • Directory structure for servlets and webservices in one application

    hi,
    Can any one help me for creating servlets and webservices in one
    application and deploying in Jboss 4.2.0.
    I want to know exactly what is the directory structure for creating this
    application and what are the additional .xml files for deploying this application.
    if any one know this answere please tell the answere.

    I figured out a solution - it's a problem of policies. In detail: Server1's codebase entry (file:) refers to the class directory of Server1's project. In the simple case of only Client1, which has no codebase entry, it works fine without a file permission on the side of Server1. In the complex case of Client1+Server2, which has to have a codebase entry (file:) refering to the class directory of the Server2's project on a separate machine, for exactly the same method call from Client1 to Server1 a file permission entry on the side of Server1 is needed for Server1's class directory. But WHY ???
    It seems to be a little confusing with the codebase entries, many of the posts are contrary to others and to my personal experiences. Some comments given by Adrian Colley throw a little light upon some aspects. Is there anybody, who can explain the whole topic, when, why, and which part of RMI application deals with codebase entries, also in case of not dynamic code downloading ? May be there is also a reference into the java docs, which I didn't found up to now.
    Thanks in advance

  • Making a call over HTTPS with LoadVars, XML.load(), and WebService - Yes or No?

    Hello, do LoadVars, XML.load(), or WebService support HTTPS-based endpoints, Yes or No?
    BACKGROUND
    ============
    I've been trying to get a LoadVars to actually make a call to an HTTPS endpoint. There is nothing in the documentation that says it can't. I know that there's also XML.load() and WebService class, but from the looks of it they don't do HTTPS.
    During my tests I have absolutely no issues with making calls to the same service over HTTP. When I change it to HTTPS I don't see HTTPStatus or even failures. Also, netstat on my server will show a connection being established with the endpoint when using HTTP but not when using HTTPS. I've also tried setting SSLVerifyCertificate to "false" in my Server.xml and after a restart of AMS it doesn't help, same symptom.
    I've also googled and looked through all Adobe forum posts that I can find:

  • WORKING example of BlazeDS with Flex 3 and FlexBuilder

    Can someone point me to an actual working example with BlazeDS used with Flex 3 and Eclipse?
    The examples on livedocs are broken or imcomplete. Others work to varying degrees but fail at some point.
    What I'd like to see is the following:
    1. How to create a project using
         a. Flex 3.0
         b. BlazeDS
         c. Eclipse - FULL project creation and deployment instructions.
         d. An example where the project is NOT created within the BlazeDS webapp that comes with the BlazeDS/Tomcat combo.
         e. An example where the ENTIRE project can be compiled and deployed to Tomcat in one shot.
         f.  An example where a DB can he altered using standard CRUD methods with the display displaying updated records without and event being used to
             refresh the view of the records.
    This shouldn't be too much to ask if Flex is to be expected to be taken seriously in data-driven applications. I've looked all over the web for weeks for something likethis and have come up with nothing. I don't need Spring or Hibernate at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm working on a proof-of-concept at this time and the pressure is mounting to come up with something.
    Thanks!

  • Flex 3 and Java - Integrated Development on Eclipse

    I am new to flex as well as to eclipse. I have downloaded
    Adobe Flex Builder 3.0 and installed it. I want to use java at the
    back-end, but I don't have Java perspective option in eclipse.
    Therefore, I am currently using 2 IDE(s), one is
    flex-builder, and other is Eclipse for Web tool platform
    (eclipse-jee-europa-winter-win32.zip).
    Is there anyway that I can benefit integrated development of
    Flex and java using same IDE?

    I wouldn't try it really... it's not worth the issues you'd
    probably run into and the work of getting it setup, if it's even
    possible. I just run Eclipse and FB separate. If you have a gig of
    ram you should be fine doing this I think.
    If you *really* want to get rid of one, you can use the Flex
    plugin for Eclipse, but I've heard people complain about it not
    playing nice with Java.

    It took about 40 sec for waiting response when i trigger the synchronous web service.

    When I tested for asynchronous web service ,I get quick response for it
    Does this version only support asynchronous web service?
    Do I need another configuration to use synchronous web service?

    Hi
    For process start you need a asynchronus web service (no output / response).
    Also, you can use a synchronus one if you are aware of this: If you use a synchron web service, you have to model a parallel split at the beginning of the process and finishing one of both tokens directly. This way, a response is generated when the first token hits the end event and the rest of the process is handled asynchronus.

  • BPM 11g: JAVA API and Webservice API

    Who knows BPM 11g: JAVA API and Webservice API?
    Customer want to call BPM 11g between Heterogeneous systems, such .net framework. One way is use webservice API, I think, but where can find it? thank you

    When you create a BPM application in 11g, you're actually creating a SOA composite application with a BPMN component in the composite. From within the BPMN editor, you can specify the interface (parameters) of each start node in the process. If you select a start node, look at the implementation tab, you'll see a properties group that lets you define the interface one property at a time, or by selecting an interface from the catalog.
    By defining these properties you're also defining the shape of the Web Service interface that will automatically be created in the composite. If you switch to the composite view, you'll see your BPMN process with a wire to it from a Web Service that's generated from the interface defined in the BPMN editor. The naming convention is the BPMN process name with ".service" appended. When you deploy the BPMN process, the web service will also be deployed, since it's also part of the composite. From Enterprise Manager (EM) you can test the service and get the WSDL, which could be used by other applications (e.g. .NET) to start and interact with a process instance.
    This is one of the advantages of the 11g architecture. The composite exposes services to consumers/clients. The implementation could have been BPEL, BPMN, a Mediator, Java/EJBs, or any combination working together. To the consumer, it's just a web service.
    In case your next question was about security ... you won't see properties about security in the BPMN editor. You use Web Service Manager to apply security or other constraints to the web service endpoint.

    Thanks for the link, I did search a little while before making the original post. I guess I wasn't searching for the right thing though.
    The method I found listed in here seems to work in IE but not Firefox. It could just be a caching issue though I'm not real familiar with firefox and don't really know how to get it to forget that it's been to a page already.
    I also updated the link listed above to ask about any changes in the last upgrade related to this.
    This was related to caching in firefox and it worked fine after I logged out of my apex.oracle.com account and cleared the personal cache in firefox and then started over.

  • Error 2032 in communication between Flex Client and WCF

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to establish communication between Flex Client
    and WCF service.
    WCF service accepts gZip compressed data and returns gZip
    compressed results.
    So I used Flex ByteArray.compress() and
    ByteArray.uncompress() for this purpose. However, it throws error
    2032.
    The gZip compression/decompression uses MemoryStream class in
    C#. Based on my previous experience, memory stream communication
    between Flex and C# gives erro 2032.
    Is there a work around for this?
    Thanks,
    Vishal

    I read some thread in the forum, and found somebody had the similar problem with me. Just want to know how to settle this problem.
    In the client/server program. Client is a JAVA program and Server a
    VC++ program. The connection works, and the problem appears after some time. The Client sends a lots of requests to Serverm, the server seems receive nothing. But at the same time, the server is able to send messages to Client. The Client also can get the messages and handle them. Don't understand why there this problem and why it appears when it wants.
    The client is a Win2k platorm with JDK1.3.1 and the server is also a Win2K platform with VC++ 6.0.
    In the Client, using:
