Can you make httprequests in flex the same way one does with AJAX? I would like my flex page to access a database on the web or a servlet.
View 2 RepliesI'm making an application (web based) using flex and i have a requirment to access the SQLite database on the local system. There is no server running and i've decided to give them the link to the html file and see how that works out.
So in the root directory, there will be all required swf, html files, etc and a .db file. Can i access that database thro the flex web application ?
How do I connect Flex3 to a MS Access 2007 local database? Could you provide some example code for a login page using username and password and validating it?
View 2 RepliesI have developed a Flex application. I have also developed a Java servlet program for an Access database using Tomcat. How can I use that servlet backend for my Flex application using HTTPService ?
View 1 RepliesI have a problem using Flex with BlazeDS on a Tomcat 5.5 through a Proxy (Apache). I already searched for it but didn't find answers which solved my problem. I hope you guys can help me out. Our scenario is the following: Flex-App using BlazeDS to communicate with our Dataservice on a Tomcat 5.5.The Webapp is balze enabled and the services config contains channel definitions like the following:
<channel-definition id="my-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
<endpoint url="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8180/myDataService/messagebroker/amf" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint">
</channel-definition>
[Code]...
This is my method in actionscript
var urlVars : URLVariables = new URLVariables();
urlVars.myname = byteArr;
var urlReq : URLRequest = new URLRequest('MyServlet');
[Code].....
How do I recieve the byte array on servlet ?
Also the byteArr above comes from java side,
byte[] byteArr = aMethodWhichReturnsaPDFByteArray();
HttpServletResponse response = FlexContext.getHttpResponse();
ServletOutputStream os = null;

Is it possible for Flash or possibly Adobe AIR to have access to a local Access database?
I will have either a Flash EXE or AIR application running on a local PC (WinXP). The PC will also have a local Access database. I need my Flash application to get the data from this Access database. How would I do this?
I doubt it can be done with Flash or AIR alone (someone prove me wrong or right), but is there an option for some middle-man application to access the data base and send it on to Flash? How would this work?
Or could I read the MDB file into Flash and parse it myself? is there a library for this?
I am new to Flex. I am just wondering how to manage session and cookies for logging in, logging off in Flex? I am using Flex HttpService and Java servlet.
View 1 RepliesI have a collection of Objects in an ArrayCollection in my flex page.
What is the best approach to send this data to a Java Servlet?
The object in the ArrayCollection is a VO that consists of an id and message for now. I want a solution that is scalable in case more properties are added later on.
I am passing some parameters as POST to a Servlet from my Flex WebApplication. I am able to pass and retrieve strings properly. I used new Date().getTime() in my flex code and tried passing the timestamp variable hoping to parse it at the servlet and convertit into a java.util.Date object. But i am getting a NumberFormatException when i try to parse the variable from the string that i got from request.getParameter.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a flex application and I need to call some data with a synchonous method. After some research, I've found a code from adobe that use ajax and external interface. That great. the code from adobe
When I send data with the GET method, the servlet read the parameters and print some infos (to check). But when I send data with the POST method, the servlet recieve the request, but the parameters disappeared.
[CODE]...
I use fileReference.download() to download files. The fileReference send request to java servlet.In servlet, some error may be checked. For example error - 'File not found'. I want to send the error to flex side. I tried lots of methods,but fileReference in flex can't receive them.Such asresponse.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND, "File not found");r PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter(); out.print("File not found");It seems fileReference can't triggers event 'DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA' and'HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS'.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a Flex 3 application running in Adobe Air that accesses an SQLite database and I need to keep this database in sync with an SQL server 2005 database running a website.Is this something that Flex supports or is it going to be a custom script? Also, has anybody done anything like this?
Edit: The synchronisation can be done on a daily basis rather than real time. The data will be read only from a front end perspective with a CMS to do updates on the website.
I have researched this issue all over and most people say use the .refresh() method to update a datagrid after updating or adding a new record. This does not do anything. So, my issue is this. I have a mySQL database hosted I am connecting via PHP, I have 1 mxml file and 2 php files (I know I can use just 1 but I am learning and this was easier for me to use for troubleshooting). The issue is no matter what I change on the datagrid the update does not show on the datagrid unless I close out of IE and reopen it. I can refresh or open the page in another window and the update does not show. I have to exit entirely and restart in order for any updates or additions to show.Here is my licenseTracker.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I have updated the mxml code to only show the needed code for the program to run the update.

I am planning on using Flash Builder 4/Flex to write an AIR application which is primarily based around recording, storing and analyzing data.I'll be creating charts etc that need to update in almost real time.It's essential to me that the application be able to function without an internet connection so I need a local database of some variety,but I would also eventually like to build in online synchronization of the data where either database can be update each other based on newer information. Moreover, some type of encryption would definitely be welcome, and speed is a large concern
Synchronization: Primarily updates/additions/deletions will be done on the offline database, but ideally I want to have a web interface that will allow the same updates/additions/deletions and will be synced (beyond that I'm not sure exactly how to do it as I can model that based on what is most achievable).I'm wondering if there's any prebuilt engine that could handle the synchronization of 2 databases. I may end up having the web interface only be for additions, which would be significantly easier to sync.. and I may start that way, but i want to build with technologies that will best allow me to implement full online crud at some point.
Here is the issue: a client wants his entire equipment inventory accessible by persons navigating to his jquery mobile site. The inventory that exists on the desktop site was, as I understood, built with Flex. Is it possible to access this database for the jquery mobile site? I believe it is. I was then given this information from someone in the know:
Database:
mlxx.db.xxxxxxx.hostedresource.com
login: mxxx

I am planning to develop a standalone application, which infact will be used for personal purposes. So only single user access may be there. I want to develop it in Flex. Just want some opinions from the gurus over here : Whether i should use Flex or AIR (I know only Flex, AIR i need to start learning)Which database i should use? SQLLite or HSQLDB or some other.

I am writing a large flex app that has to connect to a database many times. I currently am using asp pages to connect, but I would like to use the most efficient option. What do you think is the best way to connect to a database from a flex app?
View 1 RepliesWhat I am after is to be able to connect to a SQL database directly or via a ASP Page (whichever is easier) to pull out some variables and display them as text in a text field. Basically we have a news section on our intranet (stored in an sql) and I want to be able to pull these out and put them into flash. I have looked on the internet for examples, but everything that I do don't seem to work.

I am accessing my MySQL database through Flash using AS3. I am using php scripts to access my database and send and receive variables. Everything is working fine. No problems there. The problem, or rather the question is, is it possible for flash to run a script to access a database without a webserver running on the machine? Isn't there some sort of plugin or adapter or interface class available in flash that will allow me to do that?

View 2 RepliesI'm a beginner with Flex Builder. I need to get application to communicate with an Access Database. I'm in the planning phase of implementing a Call Log for myself. I'd like my app to run on my desktop (AIR) and as a web app. Basically, I need to document my incoming service calls. My customers will give me an ID number, with this number I can post new service call info, or pull up past service calls and/or display their system info all different tables. How Flex communicates with databases? I know it uses XML, PHP, AMF, etc. Do I have to use PHP to return the XML coding for Flex to read? I'm familiar with PHP and MySQL within Flash; however, it seems that I have to use MS Access for this app.
