How do I instantiate an object in FLEX or AIR?

Hi,
There must be something that I don't know that makes instantiation of an object different when doing it from <mx:WindowedApplication></mx:WindowedApplication> class and in the normal XXXX.as class.
For example I couldn't connect to SQLite. I put all the connection code into the function. Then I put this function into the both mentioned places. When putting the same function into the Application class it worked but putting it to the XXXX.as class it didn't work.
What is it, that I don't know about that prevents executing this function correctly. Code of the function works correctly. Maybe there are some hidden variables, paths etc.
Yesterday, a similar problem appeared with 3rd party code that I've added to my application. And the same happened, it works in the Application class but doesn't work in XXXX.as class.
Please help,
Christoferek

Hi Christoferek,
you probably know this already, but the basic rule for instantiation is something like
import mx.controls.List;
protected function my_function():void
var my_list: List
my_list = new List();
my_list.id = "my_list";
Setting the id is prtty much essential if you are going to refer to the new object somewhere later (if it's just some static text, you may not want to bother).
the above should work whether you're in an MXML file or AS - you just need to get the import right each time you use it.
But maybe what you are meaning is not the instantiation part, but that the new object does not function as expected?

How do I create an object from a filename?

I'm traversing directories and storing a list of files in a File array. Then I traverse the array looking at the extension of the file. If it is .java then I would like to instantiate it as a class so that I may pass the new object to another function which will examine its methods. I've tried Class.forName(file.getCanonicalPath()) and it throws a ClassNotFound exception. How can I create an object from a valid filename, please?

Rick_Avlonitis wrote:
If it is .java then I would like to </snip>.java files contain source code, they can't be "instantiated". Class.forName() takes a classname as parameter, i.e. "mypackage.MyClass". A class name is not a file name, and it doesn't have an extension. As stated in the other reply, you'll need to have the class on your class path.

Mapping Objects in Flex Data Services

Hi My Dear Friends
This is yogans, i am working in flex for the last 15 days
and i learned the basic things like syntax, tags, scripts. and i am
doing
some data services work now. especially with the help of
Java Remote objects. I dont know http services and
webservices(WSDL).
My doubt here is, I created a user defined object in java
and i want to send this object through Remote call from flex. how
can i
type cast the java object to flex. And i want to add these
objects to the dataprovider of a datagrid. Please help me in
acheiving
this. i will be very thank ful to you in my life. I know
that i have to create same kind of object in flex. But i dont have
concrete idea
please explain me with very simple example step by step . I
am awaiting in hope that God will send some one to help me.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
If you want to map your actionscript class to your server's
Java class. You can run a util function
registerClassAlias("dev.echoservice.Book",Book);
where "dev.echoservice.Book" is the fully qualify name of
your java class. Book is your actionscript class.
Calling this util before you make your remoteobject call. You
can put this in your actionscript class constructor, it makes this
call whenever you create your class. However, it seems to be better
to call it when the class is loaded. To do so you can declare it as
static
public static var a:* =
registerClassAlias("dev.echoservice.Book",Book);
OR
You can also declare it as metaData in your class as:
[RemoteClass(alias="dev.echoservice.Book")]
However, I found someone saying that it didn't work in sdk
compilation, but webtier compilation. It might be some
configuration issue. I haven't tried it yet.
To display the properties in the dataGrid, you just have to
either use Array or ArrayCollection. If databinding is involved,
the datagrid need to know the Collection.Change event. It is better
to use ArrayCollection, therefore, adding new item to
arrayCollection the datagrid get repopulate.
hope it helps!

Servlet instantiate an object

Hi all,
I wanted to know how a servlet will instantiate an object.Specifically,I want a servlet to instantiate a class/object with some JDBC code in it.
Kindly give an overview of this,any code samples would be really very beneficial.
Hoping to hear from you ASAP.
Thanks
AS

Like any other Java object. What follows is
semi-sorta-pseudo code:
public void doPost(signature next)
// Or whatever your JDBC class name is
DatabaseManager manager = null;
try
// Pass it whatever it needs to create the
eate the database connection
manager = new DatabaseManager();
// Now call whatever manager methods you
thods you want,
// passing whatever they need.
catch (Exception e)
// Might want to log, too
e.printStackTrace();
finally
// Close it out
manager.close();
}MODContinuing on the same thing.In my init method I have the following code
public void init() {
try{
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    System.out.println("Driver loaded successfully");
   }//close try
catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
}//close catch
}//close init() method Do I have to change the Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); and put it into a new class file or leave it as it is and proceed with the doPost method.
Hoping to hear from you.
Thanks in advance

How does one upload a file from flex to a cfc

How does one upload a file from flex to a cfc?   Can you do the file upload via remote object? I usually do uploads cia cfm but prefer the asnc capabilities of remote object calls.

Hi,
The issue here is myFile. For flex we need to pass this name as paramenter becuase it's not html form item like:
<cfcomponent>
    <cffunction name="uploadFile" access="remote" output="false" returntype="void">
    <cfargument name="file" required="Yes" type="any">
        <cffile action="upload" filefield="#arguments.file#" destination="C:\temp\" nameconflict="makeunique">
    </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
From flex I'm getting the file using fileReference like:
private function browseAndUpload():void
                fileReference = new FileReference();
                fileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT,fileReference_Select);
                fileReference.addEventListener(Event.CANCEL,fileReference_Cancel);
                fileReference.browse();
            private function fileReference_Select(event:Event):void
                fileReference.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,fileReference_Progress);
                fileReference.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,fileReference_Complete);
                fileReference.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,onLoadError);
                //fileReference.upload(request);
                fileName = fileReference.name;
                myFile.htmlText = fileReference.name;
                SM_RO.importNSA();
filerReference have an upload method to upload the file but I can't use that becuase I need to process my upload with my cfc.
I'm getting an error:
Failed to import the file. The cffile action="upload" requires forms to use enctype="multipart/form-data". Please also make sure the file is not open.
I can't find the way to setup the enctype becuase again i can have html form items in flex, or I can?
Thanks

How to render a pdf file within flex

please suggest.

Hi,
Is it a Flash or AIR app?
If it's an AIR app, then use the HTML/web, where you then can navigate to the URL of your PDF.
If it's an Flash app, then set the wmode to transparent: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html#main_Using_Window_Mode__wmode__values_
And then create an iframe in your HTML page, where you load you PDF, set the iframe z-index, so it gets shown on top of the Flash object. Then you kan use the javascript bridge to interact with the iframe.
Best regards

How to update ADF VO object to refresh the data in ADF Pivot table

I need to know how to update the View object so that the date in pivot table is refreshed/updated/filtered.
here are the steps I performed to create ADF pivot table application using VO at design time.
1) created a collection in a Data Control (ViewObject in an ApplicationModule) that provides the values I wanted to use for row and column labels as well the cell values (Used the SQL query)
2) Dragged this collection to the page in which wanted to create the pivot table
3) In the pivot table data binding editor specified the characteristics of the rows (which attribute(s) should be displayed in header), the columns (likewise) and the cells.
Now, I have a requirement to update/filter the data in pivot table on click of check box and my question is how to I update the View object so that the date in pivot table is refreshed/updated/filtered.
I have got this solution from one of the contact in which a WHERE clause on an underlying VO is updated based upon input from a Slider control. In essence, the value of the control is sent to a backing bean, and then the backing bean uses this input to call the "filterVO" method on the corresponding AppModule:
but, I'm getting "operationBinding" object as NULL in following code. Please let me know what's wrong.
here is the code
Our slider component will look like
<af:selectBooleanCheckbox label="Unit" value="#{PivotTableBean.dataValue}"
autoSubmit="true" />
The setDataValue() method in the backing bean will get a handle to AM and will execute the "filterVO" method in that, which takes the NumberRange as the input parameter.
public void setDataValue(boolean value) {
DataValue = value;
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding = (OperationBinding)bindings.getOperationBinding("filterVO");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
The filterVO method in the AMImpl.java will get the true or false and set the where Clause for the VO query to show values.
public void filterVO(boolean value) {
if (value != null) {
ViewObjectImpl ibVO = getVO1();
ibVO.setWhereClause("PRODUCT_TOTAL_REVENUE(+) where rownum < 10");
ibVO.executeQuery();
}

Did you define a filterVO action in your pagedef.xml file?
You might want to read on how to access service method from a JSF Web Application in the ADF Developer Guide for 10.1.3 chapter 8.5

How to get the UserTransaction object in stateless session bean

Its throws the error ie: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: UserTransaction not bound
How to get the UserTransaction object in my session bean. Kindly give solution the above errors.
- Thendral

first of all, you could just use sessionContext.getUserTransaction(). however, that would only work if your bean is using bean-managed transactions. the default is container-managed transaction, in which case you cannot get a UserTransaction object. if you want to manage transactions, you need to add the TransactionManagementType.BEAN annotation to your ejb.
