Java :: Binary Socket And Policy File In Flex
May 17, 2010I'm trying to evaluate whether Flex can access binary sockets. Seems that there's a class calles Socket (flex.net package). The requirement is that Flex will connect to a server serving binary data. It will then subscribe to data and receive the feed which it will interpret and display as a chart. I've never worked with Flex, my experience lies with Java, so everything is new to me. So I'm trying to quickly set something simple up. The Java server expects the following:
DataInputStream in = .....
byte cmd = in.readByte();
int size = in.readByte();
byte[] buf = new byte[size];
in.readFully(buf);
[Code] .....
After that - EOFException happens on the server and that's it. So the question is, am I approaching whole streaming data issue wrong when it comes to Flex? Am I sending the policy file wrong? Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a good solid example of how to do it. It seems to me that Flex can do binary Client-Server application, but I personally lack some basic knowledge when doing it. I'm using Flex 3.5 in IntelliJ IDEA IDE.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Binary Socket Policy File On Server
Jan 15, 2009I am attempting to setup a binary socket connection between flash running on my desktop and a Rabbit RCM3800 Microcontroller providing the server on my home network, which has no file system and has a very basic http server on it. Due to limitations of the microC I cannot run Java/Perl/Python or any other server on it other than setting up a server using its own native Dynamic C language (essentially manually opening and controlling sockets in C). I am able to successfully connect to a socket on port 3333 of the server and transfer information between the server and the .swf file when it is the sandbox type "local-trusted" (while I'm debugging in Flash).
Because of this I'm fairly certain the code to setup the socket between the server and flash works fine. My problem occurs when I try to run the .swf file as "local-with-network" (such as running it after publishing on my desktop) or "remote" (accessing the .swf file when it is located on the server) and it then requires a socket policy server to host a socket policy file on the server. On my server I have code setup such that whenever a socket opens on port 843 or port 3333 (my data port) and sends a stream of raw data containing the request <policy-file-request/>, the server writes back in ASCII the below code and closes the socket.
Code:
Select all<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "[URL]">
<cross-domain-policy>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
<allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
[Code] .....
So for some reason flash times out while waiting for the socket policy file. I have tested sending the <policy-request-file/> over telnet, and have received the above policy file. I have also sniffed using wireshark and saw that my desktop sent the policy request and received the policy file. I am guessing that Flash times out because it is waiting for some kind of terminating character that states the end of the policy file, and to that end I have tried sending. Interestingly, instead of sending the policy file I have tried sending random data from the server to flash, and flash displayed the Warning: Ignoring policy file at (URL) due to incorrect syntax. Because I don't receive this warning when I send my policy file I don't think it is formatted incorrectly.
I have also tried using the below flash code to hold the socket request open indefinitely, but it also errors after 20seconds.
Code: Select allSecurity.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://192.168.1.59:843");
The .swf file will eventually reside on the server itself at 192.168.1.59/myProg.html. I have only tested the flash file remotely on the server a couple times, and in addition to the previous warnings/errors, I received the warning: SWF from (URL) may not connect to a socket in its own domain without a policy file.

Flex :: Preferred Socket Policy File Server Implementation?
Jan 22, 2010I'm trying to get my Flash application to connect via socket to my server, so I need to set up a socket policy file server. It seems like there are various roll-your-own implementations floating around out there, but is there any kind of standard or best practice with what to use?
As an aside, it seems strange that Adobe imposes this restriction but doesn't make something readily available to support it.
Java :: Encrypt Sqlite Db File With Server Side / So Flex / Air Client Can Read It?
Jan 23, 2012We are trying to create a sqlite db file using java on the server, and encrypt it.Then we send the encrypted db file to a client's pc, which has an Adobe Air desktop app running.The air app then needs to be able to open/read-from the encrypted db file (client is read-only).We are using java 1.6, flex/actionscript 4.5, and Air 3.1.We can create the sqlite db file on the server and send it to the client, and it can be read by the client without issues, when we do not encrypt it.But we are having trouble with the encryption part. We've read quite a lot of documentation about Actionscript's ability to open encrypted sqlite files using AES + CCM (URL...).And we're trying to use java's crypto package to encrypt the sqlite db file.The encryption is important because we don't want the client to be able to open the sqlite db file with any sqlite browser, only with our Air application.

Flex :: Policy File Check Closes Socket
Sep 27, 2011I have created a flex app that uses sockets. I published the flex app in a web application that runs on glassfish server. Now from that flex app i create a socket connection to a C# server and start sending/receiving data.The problem is that after i create the socket connection to C# server the flex app first checks the policy file, and after it get's it, it closes the socket, without keep the connection alive.[code] Now after i create the connection and it gets the policy from server it closes this socket, so to be able to use this connection i have to call again [code]After i do this, i can use normally the connection
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Socket Sending Policy-file-request Twice?
Dec 8, 2009Running my Flash app from localhost (in debug) I can connect/contact the socket server just fine. Note: It doesn't seem as though the server detects any 843 connection (e.g. the policy file port) this way. However, when I move the app to the server itself and run it from there (i.e. from the website), it will send the policy file, get a disconnect (as it should), and then try to execute the regular port stuff but doesn't read anything from Flash. It seems like my Flash app isn't writing to the port as it should, or something else is going wrong. I did also notice that Flash seems to be trying to send the policy-file-request twice.My process right now is like this:
1) Flash tries to connect to port 843. The server responds to its <policy-file-request/> with the policy file.
2) Flash reads it, disconnects from 843
3) Server gets graceful disconnect, then gets another connection on 843.
4) Just after that, the server gets a connection on 2188, but reads another <policy-file-request/>, so sends the policy file again.
5) At this point, Flash SHOULD simply write the string "Test" to the socket (that's in my connect handler). However, my server doesn't seem to read anything on the socket after the second <policy-file-request/>.[code]
Flash :: Creating A Java Policy Server For A Application
Apr 3, 2010I'm trying to create a simple Flash chat application for educational purposes, but I'm stuck trying to send a policy file from my Java server to the Flash app (after several hours of googling with little luck). The policy file request reaches the server that sends a harcoded policy xml back to the app, but the Flash app doesn't seem to react to it at all until it gives me a security sandbox error.

Flex :: Client / Server Messaging (RPC Or Socket)
Apr 9, 2010I'm building a Flex application, which is going to perform many server requests (let's say, that almost all interactions require an update from server). At the moment I'm using remote procedure calls for it. But I was wondering if using a socket would be better. In other terms, is maybe better to keep the connection alive rather then performing many calls in sequence? For my demo app I only have 1 client. Is the number of clients connecting to the server a factor for this choice?

Jun 9, 2011I have an application that connects to a binary socket server running on port 2234. I use the python policy file server, which I downloaded from [URL], which runs on port 843. If the client app is trying to connect to a socket I can see that the server is receivng the request for a policy file and that it sends it to the client. However, in the client, I get a security sandbox error. How is this possible? And is it possible to check whether the client really received the policy file? BTW, here is my policy file:

View 1 RepliesProfessional :: Publishing .fla Project Including Client - Server Socket Connection
Nov 20, 2010I have designed with Adobe Flash Professional CS5 a .fla project that integrates a client - server connection. After publishing it, I have the following issue:- when running the generated .exe file for Windows, then the connection to the server works perfectly- but when I am running the published .html file, then nothing is sent to the server.
I have tried to change the Publish Settings. When setting the Local Playback Security in Flash menu to "Access network only" instead of "Access local files only" then the last packet that was send using the .exe file is resent once and that's all (the html client does not receive the response from the server and the next connection attemps generate data transfer). I guess I have to change some security settings somewhere but I didn't find which.

Java :: Flex Socket - Can't Receive The Command From Server
Aug 20, 2010I am writing a online game with flex and java server and I have a big problem. In normal case, my game run smoothly but some time the clients can't receive the command from server. I found that if server send message too fast or client is doing something when server send message, the game client can't detect for a new message so my game is freeze. I only tested with 4 clients and I don't know what happen when thousands clients online in the same time. So terrible :(. In the game client, I use one EventDispatcher class to dispatch any command from the server. Do you have any solution to warranty that client must receive any message from server when the connection is still alive or server must know if client received the message or not. I use flex 3 with Socket (binary) and Java QuickServer.

View 1 RepliesJava :: Authorized Flash Client To Server Connection
Feb 22, 2011I'm building a Flash-based Facebook game with a Java backend, and I'm planning to use a RESTful approach to connect the two of them (not a persistent socket connection). I'm using the AS3 library to connect the client to Facebook, so that's where I have my session information stored. However, how do I authorize client connections back to the server? I can't leave the callback URLs open since that'd let people manipulate game state without playing the game. I need to make sure that the calls are coming from a valid client and through a valid session.
At the moment, users have no direct login to the backend server -- it's all handled through the client frontend. Can I pass the Facebook OAuth2 access token to the backend in a way that the backend can verify its validity? Should that be enough to trust a valid frontend connection?
I could do a two legged OAuth signed request or just use a simple shared secret, but the keys would have to be packed in with the flash client, which makes that almost useless for this use case.

Then request again, implementing something like a Comet server.Anyways, what is the industry standard for this type of communication: Flash Client talking to Java server, supporting asynchronous "push" notifications from server.

Sep 24, 2011We have a typical Flash+J2EE application that makes multiple requests from client to server (over Flex remoting), which is taking quite a long time on some client systems (and hence results in poor application performance on such systems).
Now, suspecting issues with network connectivity (latency) on such client system(s), we need to identify how far does it contribute to the slow response of the application (rather than performance issues in the application itself).
So, what are the best way(s) to diagnose this on a client system (Windows)?
Note that we have tried profiling our application, which does not indicate bottlenecks there, so we just need to clearly identify the possible network issues.
Flash :: Connect To Socket Even Though Policy Allows It?
Dec 31, 2010In my Flash app, I'm connecting to my server like this:
Security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://example.com:12860");
socket = new Socket("example.com", 12869);
socket.writeByte(...);
socket.flush();
At port 12860 I'm running a socket policy server, which (according to this document) correctly serves up my policy like this:
[Code]...
I get no security warnings, which I used to get before the policy server was in place. Still, the connection to port 12869 doesn't work. It's made (I can see with Wireshark and on the server), but no data is sent by Flash. It might be worth knowing that the SWF itself is served from example.com as well.
