Have you tried to exchange data using JSON through asynchronous XHR using the same technology stack ? The backend exposes REST like web services. The frontend is completely decoupled from the backend implemention. It looks cleaner but it might not worth the trouble. What do you think ?

Hi! Thank you for your post!
Everything works fine, but project couldn’t compile.
I commented 1 line in client/pom.xml.
and now dependency section for common part of actionscript is:

${project.groupId}
todolist-common-as
${project.version}
swc
<!–rsl–>

what is “rsl” scope for ?
And one more question:

After I login, sometimes (almost every request to todoListService) i get an error: An Authentication object was not found in the SecurityContext. Why is that? Do you get the same error?

Thank you!

I recompiled the project and the error is:

Error resolving artifacts org.epseelon:todolist-common-as:swf:2.0-SNAPSHOT
Embedded error: Unable to download the artifact from any repository …

I’ll try to find the answer to the question about security error.

Hello, I’m try download the project source code on GitHub and it´s down.

Can you give me another link to try download the code.

Thanks for all.

I too am having problems downloading this. Can someone post it somewhere else? let me know where to get it from?

I was able to sole this by creating an account on GitHub, along with branching this code and then downloading that and deleting my branch.

Hello, thx for the updated tutorial, compilation is fine, deployment fine as well, login OK, but when i try to do anything with todos, i have issues with mysql.
Could you please remind how to configure mysql or point the proper link ?
I think compared to first tutorial, we now have on more table for todolist, but i’ve no idea how to configure it.

Thx,

Jahz

Thx for you answer, all working fine now.

Sebastien,
Thanks for the sample app! I built it and got it going in tomcat, but whenever I try to load a todolist it gives me the ‘Could not create Todo List’. The tables are getting created in my database, but something is wrong… Here is my tomcat log:

I manually inserted a todo record and it is working fine via the ui now… Thanks, mark

I want to use command “mvn eclipse:eclipse” to turn it to a eclipse project (in the root directory),but it cannot work.Can someone tell me how do it?

sebastien,
I am digging into your code… I am assuming that you used Granite to generate the .as files from your java objects?
I have created a new getter/setter on an object and am not seeing it generated in the .as file.
I deleted the file, assuming that it would be recreated but I get a compilation error now from the other .as files.

I’m sure this is a simple thing, but I can’t figure it out…
Thanks!

Hi,

I tried converting the application that you created to run against HSQLD (instead of mysql) and then I tried running it via tomcat:run-war.

However, I think it sometimes fails to communicate with the server (I’ve placed breakpoints all over the place and they don’t seem to get hit). But several restarts, and it will start to work properly. But after that, another restart would most probably bring it back to its unusable state…Any ideas?

(Btw, I tried it with your version 01 – I migrated it to use HSQLDB and to use jetty:run-war and it worked properly).

Thanks,
Franz

I figured out what my problem is. I simply forgot to comment out the mysql dependency and that was enough to cause the erratic behaviour (even if hibernate was configured to use hsqldb).

Thanks,
Franz

Hi,

I opened it in eclipse, but could not figure it out how to run it.

I have installed tomcat also, how to run it in eclipse on tomcat.

Thanks.
Kiran

Hi Sebastien,

I thought you’d be glad to know this (great!) sample performs pretty well – I’m running it on a poor machine (Pentium 4 2GHz, 2 GB RAM) but still ~400k todolists are loaded in 30secs. from localhost. I just had to change log4j level from ‘debug’ to ‘info’ as console output is a big bad performance eater. Another interesting point is that I ran it in Jetty, but I guess this doesn’t matter that much.

Once again, great job!

Kudos,
Misho

Hi Sebastien,

Im had seen a couple of sample projects at your blog and im very much impressed with your demos.I’m new bee to flex+spring+blazeds.Can you please send me tutorials on integrating flex+spring in flex builder. It will help me a lot for my career improvement.

Thanks & Regards
Uday

Hi Sebastien,

first of all, great work! However, I am having problems with optimization and metadata in the RSL module. I am using Parsley (http://www.spicefactory.org/parsley/), which requires that metadata be kept in the artifacts, which the keepAs3Metadatas configuration option takes care of when compiling swfs or swcs, but seemingly not when optimizing! The flexmojos plugin documentation mentions nothing on this matter, so I’m wondering whether this is an issue, desired behavior, or whether I am doing something wrong (should I post code here?)

Thanks,
Rade

I loved your first version and would really like to try the upgraded one but I just can’t get it to download…when I click on download source nothing happens…Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Admir

….ok got it to work, used another browser.

that’s what i am getting too, but your advice didn’t help i still get the same no matter what i do…

Thank you for this great example!

Hello Sébastien,

Thanks for the great example!
One question – what is by you the best way to build/redeploy application during the development – during code changes? The one that reduces time to the possible minimum.

Thanks at advance!

I need a little help.. after running “mnv install” it says I am missing two required artifacts:

1) net.sf.saxon:saxon-dom:jar:9.0

and

2) com.adobe.flex:compiler:pom:3.4.0.9271

I have to admit I am a n00b to maven but I just can’t seem to get it to work :( Thanks in advance.

I have the exactly problem with Job. Can anyone explains this? Thanks.

I have the same issue as well.2 artefacts missing. The flex mojo plugins are not loacted by maven.

Can you help, please

Hi,

I am getting this error:
[DEBUG] File: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/adobe/flex/framework/framework/4.0.0.14159/framework-4.0.0.14159.rb.swc does not exist
org.apache.maven.wagon.ResourceDoesNotExistException: File: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/adobe/flex/framework/framework/4.0.0.14159/framework-4.0.0.14159.rb.swc does not exist
at org.apache.maven.wagon.shared.http.AbstractHttpClientWagon.fillInputData(AbstractHttpClientWagon.java:603)

It;s apparently looking for a *.swc file. Did any one of you face the same issues? Any pointers on that? I replaced (updated) the flex-mojos rep information in the root pom. I believe that’s all the change I have made.

Hi Sebastien,

First off, thanks for this very helpful startup tutorial. I would please like to ask for help on the same problem that Mr Irshad Buchh has encountered. I have already tried the suggestion that you made by creating an environment vairable called MAVEN_OPTS and setting its value to -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xmx512m. I did this but the “mvn clean install” command still shows the java heap space Fatal Error.

I have also tried to set MAVEN_OPTS on the bin/mvn file and JAVA_OPTS catalina.bat file to the same value that you suggested but I still get the same error.
Could you please suggest any other approaches to the solution? If it could help, here are the details of the version of the software that I have been using:
Apache Maven 2.2.1
Java version: 1.5.0_09

Best regards,
Kin

Hi Sebastien,

I want to do this with ant scripts . does that make any trouble .

Shyam

Hey Sebastian. I have tried downloading the source both in firefox and IE and neither work for me. I watched the video you included and I dont even have the same buttons on the screen you seem to have, so perhaps the site has changed since you posted the vid.

Any possibility the source is somewhere else?

Great work !

it will be nice if u can upgrade it to use the latest flex,
version 4.1.

Sebastien — Awesome app, worked perfectly for me once I set up mysql security. Also — since you are not a fan of Eclipse and Flex Builder, can I ask what IDE you do use with what Flex development tooling and why?
