I use this resultHandler and instead of using my data with four(4) separate field I would like to use the following code in one field. and as a one line read out?
E.g (title + "." +firstName + " " + middleName + " " + last Name) = (Mr. Harald E. W. Buttweiser). I get it with static Xml e.g. models but cant find the right way to get it with my Http!

How does one change / modify the Result property of a web service operation?
For example, I have declared my WebService as follows:
<mx:WebService id="ws">
<mx:operation name="Call_One" result="Call_OneRH(event)" fault="Call_OneFH(event)" />
[Code]...
I want to be able to change the result of the operation "Call_One" to another result, since I am planning to re-use the same web service, but the result would be treated differently.
Am not sure if this would work:
ws.operation.Call_One.result = "myOtherResult"
I am trying to access a .Net service which requires an authentication header. If WebService is used it works fine. But when it is accessed using HTTPService it throws error. The project is already done by somebody else using HTTPService. Now changing to webService requires some time since there needs to be modification in a lot of files.
Below is the SOAP envelop required by the service.

I'm working though the Adobe "Flex in a Week" video training series, and I've reached Exercise 9, which deals with creating a remote service call. Up til this point, the data source and images have been local assets (located in src/assets in my Flash Builder project).
I access the room list by this:
<mx:HTTPService id="rooms" url="assets/roomList.xml"
fault="httpFaultHandler(event)"
result="httpResultHandler(event)"/>
Here are the two result handlers:
private function httpFaultHandler(event:FaultEvent):void{
Alert.show("There was a problem","Error");
}[code]...........
However, when I run the application in the blazeDS container, I get no rooms despite the fact that the room list clearly exists in the deployment directory after running the application:
$ find . -name roomList.xml
./tomcat/webapps/odt/adobeODT-debug/assets/roomList.xml
How can I debug the reason for this failure? The deployment process used by the Flash Builder tool is fairly opaque, and the tomcat instance isn't advertising 404s from Flex apps. Is there logging somewhere, or something, that needs to be turned on?
I've written a Flash (Flex) client connecting to a back-end server to exchange data. I've also written my server from scratch, and it serves two purposes:
(1) Web (HTTP) Server- By default listens on port 80
(2) Socket/Application- Server - By default listens on port 443
Just FYI, both servers run in the same process space, for convenience reasons. They are not expected to handle massive loads, so I'm fine with that. As soon as the Flash client is served to the browser from the HTTP socket, the client attempts to open an XMLSocket to the Socket/Application server. I now want to implement HTTP tunneling, so that my client can connect to the Application server even if the user is behind a firewall. I do not want any external servers involved (proxies etc.) - simply use the servers I already have.
My questions:
(1) Is it better to use port 443 for that? (does it better fool firewalls?)
(2) As far as I can see, what I am required to do, is just ensure that my actual application data is simply encapsulated in an HTTP structure (preceded by a dummy HTTP header), both from the client and server sides. Is that so or am I missing anything here?
(3) Do I need to keep hiding/encapsulating my data every message I send through the socket, or can I just encapsulate the first message when opening the connection?
We have a Flex client and a server that is using the Spring/Blazeds project. After the user logs in and is authenticated, the spring security layer sends a redirect to a new URL which is where our main application is located. However, within the flex client, I'm currently using HTTPService for the initial request and I get the redirected page sent back to me in its entirety. How can I just get the URL so that I can use navigatetourl to get where the app to go where it needs to?
View 2 RepliesI have used wsdl2js to generate the javascript needed to communicate with the service.However I end up getting a http 500 error and have not been able to get past that. I have looked through the provided examples from the Apache CXF download and I have done some searching and cannot find a solid example of creating the javascript client. A lot of examples seem to somehow access the wsdl file at runtime from a server but my javascript is already generated from the CXF tool and I just include the scripts.
Adobe Flex and AS3Another option I have considered is using Adobe Flex. I create a new Mobile Flex project in Flash Builder using the BlackBerry PlayBook SDK and Flex 4.5. However when I use the menu options to connect to a web service I get prompted with "This option is only available for flex projects."Are there any other options out there that provide a solution to this problem? If you need more information just let me know

View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a simple board game (a kind of checkers), where users will be able to play online with each other using flex application as a client.
I am using django application to process the game on the server side. And I come across the problem, if one user made a move, I can send it to a server, but how do I let the opponent know about it?
The way I am thinking to do it is to create a timer and send requests to the server asking was opponents move done or not....But here we have 2 limitations:
1) Each client would produce big amount of requests (not sure how server will work if I have e.g 100 such clients)
2) If players will chose game with a time limit for example 5 minutes/per game it will be very important to show them situation on the board as soon as it changes (without a pause), but timer will send request only on timer event, so if for example I will chose tick interval to 5 seconds it will mean that 5 seconds another side will not be aware of the situation changes.
I've got a simple YouTube API client put together, written in Flex, that uses a plain ol' URLRequest object to handle Google's "ClientLogin" authentication scheme. Everything works perfectly, except for one case: when Google responds with a 403 and a response body indicating that I should prompt the user for additional information (specifically, a CAPTCHA request).
The problem I'm having is that in this case, I need to be able to retrieve the body of the 403 response, as the body contains information Google expects me to use to assemble the CAPTCHA (e.g., an image URL, etc.). It looks like Flash fails to populate the URLLoader's data property when it encounters a 403 (which is where the response body would normally show up), so I can't tell the difference between a "403: Login Failed" and a "403: Login Succeeded, but We Want a CAPTCHA".
As a backup, I figured I'd have a look at as3crypto's TLSSocket code, but I haven't been able to make any of that stuff work with Google (or even one of my own SSL certs, for that matter).
Is it possible to access the body ofa 403 response with Flash (and if so, how)? And if not,Does anyone have personal experience with a suitable workaround?
I am building a FLEX web application that also has a payment module where the user needs to enter his credit card details.
The whole Flex application runs on HTTP. However, whenever the user lands on a page where we ask for credit card details, we want these details to be sent over HTTPS.In this page we need information from the model of the application, because it holds certain selection the user did, the state the application is in, etc.
Do I need to make this page a Module that runs on HTTPS?
Or can I just configure the specific 'credit card' services (we have a JAVA back end) so that these run on HTTPS?
My Mysql database stores images (in PNG, JPG)of our personnel and it's field type is set to longblob.

I am trying to send a simple HTTP message from Flex to C# server, but it seems that I am getting tow calls, first is the real one and the second is an empty one.
Why is that and how can I handle it?
This is my C# code:
TcpListener listener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, 9400);
listener.Start();
Console.WriteLine("Server started");
[Code].....
I been trying to send a true HTTP response a notice another thing, the second call is coming without waiting for the first call, if I am putting the response thread to short sleep(100 milliseconds in my test) then I am getting the second call before I been able to response for the first one.
I tried using both HTTPService and URLRequest/URLLoader. But I can't figure out how to get either the response output or the response headers in case of a server error(like 500).
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a flex application that polls an xml file on the server to check for updated data every few seconds, and I'm having trouble preventing it from caching the data and failing to respond to it being updated.
I've attempted to set headers using the IIS control panel to use the following, without any luck:
CacheControl: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
I've also attempted adding a random HTTP GET parameter to the end of the request URL, but that seems like it's stripped off by the HttpService class before the request is made. Here's the code to implement it:
http.url = "test.xml?time=" + new Date().getMilliseconds();
And here's the debug log that makes me think it failed:
(mx.messaging.messages::HTTPRequestMessage)#0
body = (Object)#1
clientId = (null)

View 1 RepliesWe use 3 types of services in Flex; HTTP, Remoting and WebServices and would like to increase my understanding about their use cases. As far as I understand,
Remoting can be used only in homogeneous environment like Flex-RubyOnRails (through RubyAMF) while Webservices can be used in Heterogenous environment using SOAP protocol. Remoting has advantage of native object support that web services don't have. That also means no parsing/extraction will be required in former. Now, talking of HTTP services, they dont support complex operations or parameter passing and can be used for only basic operations.
Is there a way to know the proxy setting of web browser under Flex 3, namely actionscript 3?
We use socket library to connect remote HTTP server. It is nice to read web proxy setting to connect to HTTP proxy instead of directly to HTTP server.
I'm writing an application, Flex front-end & Grails back-end, in which I need to integrate security. All the information around Grails gives me the impression to be well suited for when your client is written in HTML but how can I use Flex's HTTPService to integrate into it?

View 1 RepliesMy swf is being served via http protocol. I don't really see this being easily changed. There's a resource that a website has opened up via their api that I need to access but it is using https protocol. Because of this my swf can't access the resource because of security settings.
Option 1 would be to serve my swf via https. I can't do this at the moment.
Option 2 would be set secure="false" property of the cross domain policy file. I can't do this, I dont have access.
We're developing a Flex-based component that's going to be hosted inside another company's product. Due to the nature of their hosting environment, the Flash movie will run in its own <iframe> tag.The Flex app calls out to our REST services via HTTPS, and authenticates with an HTTP cookie. This works beautifully in Chrome, Firefox, Safari... everything except IE. I compared requests from Chrome and IE using Fiddler, and noticed that they are identical, save for the HTTP Cookies. IE omits several, including the one used for authentication.

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to find the right configuration for supporting both http/s requests in a Flex app. I've read all the docs and they allude to doing something like the following:
<default-channels>
<channel ref="my-secure-amf">
<serialization>[code]..........
I'm running with Tomcat 5.5.17 and Java 5.The BlazeDS docs say this is the best practice. Is there a better way? With this config, there seems to be 2-3 retries associated with each channel defined in the default-channels element so it always takes ~20s before the my-amf channel connects via a http request. Is there a way to override the 2-3 retries to say, 1 retry for each channel?
I need to call an HTTP service using Flex that has variable arguments. I'm using Flash Builder 4 (Gumbo) to create the service definition, but there's no UI for variable arguments, and the subclass of HTTPServiceWrapper that it creates doesn't seem to support it.
