Standalone app

Hi Everybody~
I am trying to create a flash presentation and distribute them on CDs. I would like to create a standalone app for pc and mac. I did this by going to publish settings and checking standalone app for mac and pc then clicked publish. But when I open in mac, nothing happens and in PC, it opens in flash player.
What do I need to do to get this thing working??

Perhaps you don't have Flash Player on Mac. As for publishing, you did correct, and it will open in Flash Player since it is bound to it (you created Flash Player application). If you wish to have standalone application, you will have to make Adobe AIR application.
Hope it solves your problem.
Regards,
Vjeko

What do I need to build & deploy a Flex/Coldfusion standalone app?

I have been a CF developer for almost 10 years, but have no experience with Flex. I have a new opportunity to create Windows-based standalone applications. I have investigated .NET and I am not impressed as it just seems to be needlessly complex and bloated. Instead, I am considering leveraging my CF experience and taking a serious look at Flex with ColdFusion.
My application needs to run on PCs that are located on boats at sea. Their only connection to the Internet is via a satellite modem. The standalone app. needs to have data entered, which is stored in a local database. When the skipper is ready, he/she will switch the modem on, transmit the saved data (takes about 10 seconds) and switch the modem off. This means that the application code, runtime environment, database, and services (e.g. ColdFusion cfcs) must all be loaded on the PC. Also, I do not want the application to run in a web browser (many boats have old versions of Windows and IE).
I understand that I should be able to do this by using the AIR runtime.
Here are my questions/challenges:
1.) The application itself must be provided free of charge. Would I be required to purchase a ColdFusion licence for each installed copy of the application?
2.) If I would have to pay a licensing fee for each CF installation, will Flex 4 work with an open source CF engine such as Open BlueDragon or Ralio instead?
3.) Any suggestions regarding the database that I should use (e.g. Derby, H2, SQL Server Express)?
4.) Installation must be simple. Skippers must be able to download an installation file (e.g. an .exe) and run it. The install program must install the database, the latest Flash player for Windows, the CF engine, and the generated .swf files, cfc files, etc. Can all of this be bundled up when FlashBuilder and/or AIR prepares an application for deployment? When the application is run, it must start the database engine and the CF engine in addition to the Flash front-end.
I'm eagerly await your answers with fingers crossed. This project has the potential to create a very cool, unique application!

Hi Paul, thanks for the quick reply.
We have created the onboard app., but not in Flex. It is written in ColdFusion (version 8) with AJAX and uses an Apache Derby database and Open BlueDragon as the CF engine. The whole thing runs in a browser onboard. We had a custom Java launcher written. It starts the database and Open BlueDragon and then launches the PC's default browser with the localhost URL of the application home page. The biggest drawback with this whole approach has been browser compatibility. Some boats still use IE version 6. Our application simply won't work on versions IE prior to 7.0. It also takes quite a while for the launcher to start up all of the related applications, etc. The application runs more slowly than it would as a desktop application since web pages have to load as the user moves from one screen to another.
I am investigating whether we should re-write our application from scratch using Flex/AIR. My hope is that that we can put together all of the parts of the application in a single, standalone environment. Through some investigation, I have just realized that AIR includes SQLLite, so we won't need a separate database/launcher. We also won't need to use AJAX since the Flash will provide a UI that has all of the flexibility that we'll need. I also assume that the AIR runtime will include a standalone Windows Flash Player, so we don't need to use whatever web browser is on the boats.
So far, everything sounds great. My only remaining question is whether I could create the data access services as ColdFusion CFCs without having to install ColdFusion on the onboard PCs. I've been looking through the Adobe literature and it seems to imply that AIR can use ColdFusion 9 CFCs without CF being installed, but I cannot find a definitive statement on this. If this is the case, I will download CF 9, CF Builder, Flash Builder, and AIR and start learning and building right away.

I have Lightroom 5.5 as standalone app on my laptop and I want to use Lightroom mobile too. But I am not an Adobe CC subscriber. Can I use LR mobile? Right now it's telling me it's on trial and I have only 17 days left.

But I paid for my Lightroom 5.5, LR Mobile is an app for LR5, isn't that unfair not to allow me to use LR Mobile? Adobe should change this policy.

Question about standalone apps

Hi enerybody, i am interested in developing standalone apps in the Java lang and would like toknow which IDE should i use SUN ONE STUDIO 5 SE, JAVABEANS or ECLIPSE 2.1
I know that this has been asked a lot but please i really need to know because i am at a loss.
Thanks in advance :)

i think both questions ("which IDE to use?" and "which DB to use?") depend on your requirements!
IDE:
- are you only interested in a better editor which colors up your source code?
- are you intereseted in a designer to create GUI's?
- how much would you pay for a IDE?
DB:
- would you pay money for your DB?
- how many sets of tables and data should the database manage?
- how important is the speed of the DBMS?
i myself am working with JBuilder 8 at that moment. the personal edition is free for download...
as db i am using mySQL:
a) i don't need an expensive high performance ... top DB
b) my Homepage's hoster uses it so testing is easier
c) ...
what do you require?

How can a standalone App subscribing messages

I've configured a JMS message publisher and a message subscriber, and run them both in the same machine with J2EE Server running and everything works fine.
Now I need to use a standalone app client in a diferent machine to subscribe messages published on my J2EE server and I'm not being able to do it.
Here's my code:
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, ConfigurationLoader.getKeyValue("server.contextFactory"));
prop.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "machine1");
prop.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,ConfigurationLoader.getKeyValue("server.admin"));
prop.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,ConfigurationLoader.getKeyValue ("server.password"));
initialContext = new InitialContext(prop);
topicConnectionFactory = (TopicConnectionFactory)jndiContext.lookup(ConfigurationLoader.getKeyValue("jms/testConnectionFactory"));
topic = (Topic) jndiContext.lookup(jms/TestTopic);
topicConnection = topicConnectionFactory.createTopicConnection(ConfigurationLoader.getKeyValue("server.admin"), ConfigurationLoader.getKeyValue("server.password"));
at the point I try to create the topic connection I get this exception:
Exception occurred: javax.jms.JMSException: Unable to connect to JMSServer (/127.0.0.1:9127): Connection refused: connect
So apparently it is still trying to connect to the local machine even if I've specified the ip of the J2EE server in the initialContext (machine1), how can I make this work? Sun documentation doesn't help much on this...
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply, I'm not using machine1 in my code that was just an example I gave. Anyway I managed to figure out what was going on. My code was fine, the problem was that my AppServer (Orion) was returning localhost as the JMS Server url due to a bad configuration. Everything solved and working fine apparently.

JDriver for Informix throws LicenseKeyInvalid exception in standalone app

Hi, I'm trying to use the BEA Systems type 4 jDriver for Informix,
version 5.1.0. I set up a connection pool in weblogic.properties, and
everything works fine when running from within WebLogic. Our app runs
fine, talks to the database just fine, has been for a month. However,
when trying to run a standalone program (like a unit test, or one of
the examples), I get the following message:
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException:
java.sql.SQLException: weblogic.common.LicenseKeyInvalidException

I tried swapping out the eval license file and the license file that

when I run the standalone app. I don't have anything else on my
machine talking to Informix.
Any ideas? Thanks!

You need to make sure the weblogic.jar file is in the classpath. Also make
sure you have the folder in which the license file exists is in the
classpath as well.
I suggest you use the informix driver from informix which is a current and
better driver. It is a free download from their website.

LicenseKeyInvalidException is for when a license key is invalid.Well, yes, but I think my license key is valid. I downloaded a new
eval version from BEA yesterday and used the license file and key that
came with it. Same error message as below, except that the license
key was different, and the expiration date was Feb 8, 2001. The key
and expiration date matched what was in the file
(c:\weblogic\informix4\license\WebLogicLicense.xml) from the eval
download. BEA wouldn't put an invalid license key in the eval
version, would they? That wouldn't be very good marketing!
Anyway, for grins I swapped out the license file under
....\informix4\license with my purchased version of WebLogic's license
file, under c:\weblogic\license. It gives the error message below;
same message as with the eval version of the license, but with a
different license key, and expiration date of never.
When I use the driver from within WebLogic (I boot WebLogic and run my
app), everything works fine. I'm CRUD'ing to and from the database
just fine. So, my license file must be OK. I just can't get it to
work in a standalone app, without WebLogic running. I must be
configuring something wrong or missing something in the standalone
app, but I can't figure out what.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not able to consume JMS Q by standalone App

We are making use JMS Q to store the request and build another standalone job to consume it. But some time how our standalone app not able to retrieve message from Q and we need to restart the app many times then it will working fine. Do you have any idea of it? Should we update any weblogic patch?

There are no errors /exceptions. The project is deployed, since it is a JMS adapter with consume operation it should poll the queue and get the message if it is available.
This is the *.jca file for adapter.
<adapter-config name="psoftconsume" adapter="Jms Adapter" wsdlLocation="psoftconsume.wsdl" xmlns="http://platform.integration.oracle/blocks/adapter/fw/metadata">
<connection-factory location="eis/JMS/RemoteQueue" UIConnectionName="remotewls" UIJmsProvider="WLSJMS" adapterRef=""/>

Trouble with standalone app

I got the standalone app to work using this command:
java -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost=localhost -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort=3700 -classpath .;./CartAppClient.jar;./j2ee.jar;./appserv-rt.jar; CartClient CartBean
Which allows me to run the client and server on seperate machines. I tried to add security to some of the methods using the deploy tool and it works when I use this command:
appclient -client CartAppClient.jar
but when I try the first command I mentioned it only says:
Caught an unexpected exception!
I would like to know:
1) if I need to configure something else such as the Sun Server or something in the depoloy tool.
2) if I need to go in and change the source code for the application to make it work.
3) some documentation references online which can help me make this work.
I would really appreciate some help on this one. Thanks

The reason is that a stand-alone java client is not a portable J2EE component, but a J2EE Application Client is. From a J2EE platform perspective, the use of Application Clients is recommended since in that case your code is running with a type of J2EE container, albeit on the client side. This allows the infrastructure to provide many of the same services that are available to other kinds of J2EE components , e.g. access to java:comp/env, security, etc.
There is no mention of stand-alone java clients in the J2EE specs. Many J2EE implementations describe how to make such clients work, but there is no standardization to this since it's outside the scope of the specs. Some products have a way to make authentication work in stand-alone clients as well but that suffers from the same portability problem.

Using AppServer's JNDI resources in standalone app

My next ridicilous question is relating to consuming JNDI reseources defined in App Server PE8.
I have defined an a Connection Pool and JDBC resources via admin console in the AppServer.
I can also successfully "ping" the pool and my test servlet works fine...
My question is how do I get the connection using JNDI in the standalone app that has main (without any descriptor files) ???
for example (a single java file with a test class):
public class MSSQL2KTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MyTestDB");
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
//test the connection here
....Do I need to do somethig "special" to instruct the InitialContext to use PS8 JNDI service???
If this is possible at all can someone instruct me on how to do this?

Motion 2 as standalone app?

Hi there. Simple question - Provided I have the correct min. system requirements, can I run Motion 2 as a standalone app or does it rely on FCS 5.1?
Thanks for your help!!
Rob

hi,
the install may want you to install bits and piesce from FCS but you can use Motion2 as a stand alone. I used to on my laptop.

STANDALONE Apps with DPS?

Hi. I am looking to create STANDALONE apps with Indesign and Digital Publishing Suite.
I've tried to do it, but I can only create contents for Adobe Viewer!! I need to make an app "independent from a viewer".
Can DPS do it?
The exemple i've seen is the app "Hangar Soul" for iPad (is a free app you can download), with a top menu, a "page scroll in the downside" and interactive pages (they seems to be made with Digital Publishing Suite!!)
Thanks in advance. Bye

It is not clear if I can personalize the viewer with my icons and a new navigation logic with the Single Edition.
For exemple:
If I have these pages (folio1 folio2 and folio3, each one made by three pages, a b, c)
1a. 2a. 3a.
1b. 2b. 3b.
1c. 2c. 3c.
I need to navigate ever in the A level when I scroll in left or right folio. Not so in Adobe viewer.
Exemple Adobe Viewer: 1a > 2a V 2b<2a
Exemple I want: 1a > 2a V 2b<1a (NOT 2a!)
<>^V represents the scrolls on iPad
Versions professional and enterprise made the same things of Single edition, and other features, too? Or only Single edition make apps standalone?
Thanks, bye

Standalone app - persistent data.

I'm trying to develop a standalone app for a client that is sort of a store management software. It will control inventory, employees, schedule, etc. I feel that the best way to access this data would be using a relational database. Now, I have set up a successful connection to mySQL in this standalone app, but I don't want to have to install mySQL on any PC that wishes to use it. How can I go about embeding mySQL into the app? And how will the data be stored? Can it be in a custom file type (not in standard mySQL table files)? Is that even determineable by me?
Thanks

Well, the thing is, I want to make it as portable as possible. Isn't there a way I can embed mysql into the application? If not, is there a way a can keep the data access entirely within the application? Say where you "save" a file that contains the entire "store". You could copy that file to any other PC using the app and open it up. Kind of like a .xls or .doc file......

Standalone apps restrict to 40fps unless other gpu accelerated app is open

I'm having a problem where my standalone air apps won't go over 40 fps unless they are put in a web browser OR there is another GPU accelerated program open like a 3D First person shooter.
If I publish it as an as3 web project, and view it in the browser, I will get a full 60 fps. If I double click that same swf file and view it through the flash player outside of the browser, it won't go over 40 fps.
In an odd bit of news I've found that if I have a game open and my app open, my app will use the full 60 fps. As soon as I close the game, in this case it was America's army Proving grounds(a 3D shooter), the app drops down to 40 fps.
What sense does this make?
I'm on a win 7, core i7, 8 gig of ram, ati 5870. An increase in fps during with other stuff open seems counter intuitive, but could mean that there's some mode not being activated by my app. Is there a line of code I need to activate GPU acceleration?

Would you consider this issue the same as this bug?

ADF BC standalone app and JDBC data source

Hi,
I have created a small ADF BC (swing) application that is not using ANY application server. It's just a small rich client app. It's using a table on an Oracle database. In JDeveloper I have set the Connection Type in the AppModule to JDBC URL and thsi works just fine.
However, using that method makes it impossible to deploy the app sinice the JDBC URL is hardcoded. I thought changing the Connection Type to JDBC DataSource would solve my problem. But now I get the message that the JNDI data source could not be found.
What do I need to do to make this work? I just want to have the app not being bound to a specific database/host.
Thank you for any help!

Running UCMA standalone app in Azure VM

Hi
I tried to run standalone UCMA proxy app on azure and that did not work, anyone has such kind of experience?
I opened 5060 port in Endpoint configuration, but I suspect I need more UDP ports to open.
Also there is a 150 ports limit on Azure VM endpoints.
Any suggestions?
Please mark this as answer if it helps.
