Flex :: Session Sharing Between BlazeDS Servlets And Http Servlets?
Apr 30, 2011
I'm developing a Flex application that employs BlazeDS with Tomcat on the backend. The Flex client authenticates through the ChannelSet which in turn creates an authenticated session on Tomcat. From then on, all of the client calls are authenticated transparently. However, I have a regular HttpServlet for uploading files, which does not get the session information from the BlazeDS servlets.
Is there a way that I can get the Principal object in the HttpServlet? I know that I can get the session ID from the BlazeDS servlet, pass it to the client, and then send that along with the upload request.

Any standard way to keep alive the http session as long user has open the flex app in the browser? I played around with the polling mechanism of blazeds. But it had no affect on the http session.

I am preparing a document for a project. The project's backend is developed in Java, frontend is adobe flex.
I am not sure about the correct way of describe the project in Model-View-Controller way.
For Model layer: Using Hibernate Java beans to implement all the business logic and persistence? For View Layer: Using Adobe flex send post or get request to Controller layer, and get respond in XML format. For Controller Layer: Using Java servlet to handle requests from Flex client?

friend and I are working on this Flash application that retrieves data from a IBM DB2 database and displays it. We read somewhere that Flash can't connect directly to a database, thus some middleware is required. So we are using JSP or servlets for our middleware. The problemIn our best (but limited haha) knowledge, we understand that we need to first declare an XML object, and then use a Load method to invoke a servlet that accesses the database and fills the XML object with records of the database. Finally it'll return the filled object back to Flash. Are we correct in this sense?Er, the problem is, we have no idea on how the servlet code works. We can successfully connect to the DB2 database and retrieve records, thoughBtw, we did try loading a XML file into a XML object. However, it's wierd. This is our XML file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>

my aim is to catch when the session is invalidated and send message to all destination that the FlexClient subscribed that the client wiht id .... has disconnected. I implemented a service which listens for
[Code]...
Problem is that i want to catch messageClientDestroyed and send to that destination a message that the user has disconnected.But blazeds destroys messageClient when you add a subtopic.So how to understand that if session is invalidated and all messageClient are being destroyed or the user just enter another place and add a subtopic to his consumer. I'am also open for other solutions to implement that mechanism.When user disconnected by session timeout or closed the site browser etc. i wanna catch it and send a message to subscribed destinations.

I have my flex object embedded to JSP page.The JSP page retrieves user information like user name and group from portal profile object and stores in http session parameters. The flex Object makes a remote call to Employee.class to perform persona based operation.
I retrieved the session id in JSP and also in the Employee.class both are same. But I am not able to retrieve the username stored in the http session from FlexSession. I read in the internet that the FelxSession will hold all httpSession information as well. It's always coming as null. Correct me if I am wrong.

Am facing issue with session timeout. Say for instance, the user logs into the application and he waits for 30 mins (session timeout time) and then tries to get a service through remote object.Ideally speaking, since the session has timeout the user shouldn't be able to hit the remote object, but this is happening the other way round.

I was recently able to get AS3.0 to connect to a MySQL database using PHP. However, my employer decided that he wants me to use a Java Servlet for the communications rather than PHP. I have written the servlets and they are all working properly, however, I can't get flash to run them properly in the application. When running the servlet I get an error stating "Error opening URL" Are there any specific changes that I need to change in my code so that I am able to communicate with a servlet?

I'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've been searching for the last couple days but can't seem to find a basic example of what I'm looking for. I'm developing a Flex 4.5 app and in it I have a viewstack of 2 components that use some of the same services. Currently the only way I can get the app to correctly use the web services is by defining 2 different web services that use the same PHP web service file. For example: I have an app, and within it I have a viewstack with tab navigation of 2 components: #1) retrieve a list of all Salary Employees, and #2) retrieve a list of all Contractors. Currently to get it working I am defining a UsersTableEmployees webservice within component #1 and a UsersTableContractors webservice within component #2, but they both point to the same PHP class, and only differ in the arugment value I pass to them. Ie, getUsers("employee") and getUsers ("contractors"). Of course this is not best practice.
Searching StackOverflow and Google gives me many results about ColdFusion and MVC (example What's the best way to share data between components in Flex?), but I'm still confused. Can anyone here point me to a basic example (even sample MVC) and source code of an app that uses Zend AMF and allows different components to call common web services?

Lets say I have two swfs A and B, and at runtime, swf A loads swf B, and I wish to share code between them, to minimize file size and download times.If swf B has some code (say. com.blah.HelloWorld), I tell the compiler to have swf B's source in swf A's classpath, but only do a compile-time link and not actually compile com.blah.HelloWorld into swfThis works, and I have tried it, using a the -includes and -externs compiler options.However, My problem is that I wish to do this the other way. i.e. swf A and B (and potentially swf C) all need com.blah.HelloWorld, but I want com.blah.HelloWorld to be compiled into just swf A, have it as an external reference in swf B ( and potentially C as well.)I tried doing this using the externs and includes, but I get ReferenceErrors when I do this.

I'm developing a FLEX application which has a Java Server as back-end.
What I need:
-The FLEX app can only be used if the user it's logged;
-The FLEX app also needs to know which user it's logged, because it will shows especific content about him;
-I need to perform authentication on every webservice call;
However, the webpages are being developed using PHP, as well the login system.
After some digging, I've discovered that I can use the PHP session ID for authenticate every webservice calls, by using the php-java-bridge so both PHP and Java can share the same session.
My problem it's that I don't know how the FLEX app can get the current PHP session ID. I know that it's possible to pass it by flashvars, but I think it's not secure.

I'm working on an app which will, like most apps, have a whole boat load of buisness logic, almost all of which will need to be executed both on the server and the Flash-based client And I'm trying to figure out the best (read: least complex) way to implement the rules engine.
These are the parameters of the problem:
The rules engine must both run in a web browser (ie, in Flash Player) and on the server. Duplicating the logic (eg, by writing a "server" version and a "client" version) would be an unacceptable risk. The input/output data is fairly complex, so serialization is a nontrivial problem. We are currently using AMF for all of our serialization needs, and using another protocol would add significant complexity So it should probably be avoided. It is infeasible to implement a "rules description language". Experimentation has shown that rules are sufficiently complex that any such language would need to be Turing complete Which would also add a significant amount of complexity. The rules engine will not need to make some, but not very many, service calls.
Currently, the best contenders are:
Writing the code in ActionScript, then running it on the server. In theory it's possible to start up an AVM instance, get it long-polling a gateway, then pass data back and forth that way But that seems less than ideal. Writing the code in haXe. I don't know anything about haXe's AMF support, so that could be a deal-breaker. Something involving Tamarin. Seems like a viable option, but I haven't done enough research to tell either way.

I have a Flex login page that uses HTTPService to communicate with server side php script. Once user's credential is verified, a session will be created and the login page will redirect to the main Flex page with that session info. I'm not sure how to implement the session logic.

I have a Flex application which is served via a JSP page. In this page I output the session ID using HttpSession when the page is loaded: System.out.println("Session ID: " + session.getId()); In a very simple remote object hosted in BlazeDS (called from the flex application using an AMF Channel and standard RemoteObject functionality) I also output the session ID but this time using FlexSession (which as I understand is supposed to wrap around HttpSession).
System.out.println("FlexSession ID: " + FlexContext.getFlexSession().getId()); I would expect both IDs to be the same but this is not the case. The session IDs differ which is causing problems as there is data stored in the HttpSession which I need to be able to access from my remote objects within BlazeDS. I've exhausted the reading material on BlazeDS and FlexClient/FlexSession/FlexContext but can't see why the FlexSession is not being linked to the HttpSession.

In IE, the session work, but in Firefox, it always return empty value.
I have set $_SESSION['apple']='1' in index.php
When executing a Flex 4/flash app that will allow user to browse an image file using filereference for upload to the server (this app is image uploader), the file will then pass to second.php to validate whether it is an image.
In the second.php itself, I have a function that need to retrieve $_SESSION['apple'] value which was set in index.php, it always return empty string in Firefox and Chrome but work on IE9.
Has anyone came across the same problem with $_SESSION on Firefox and Chrome?
How do I make sure the second.php can retrieve $_SESSION?

I have a simple site made with python (django). User registers, inputs some basic info and it stores it to mysql. User then is able to log in with his username/password which he created...
Now i want to add a flex application which will run once the user is logged in, but i dont want the user to have to log in twice (once into django, once into flex app). For the sake of learning i just want the flex app to also load some information from the mysql database, like the users firstname or something.
how would i go about passing session information into the flex app?
