Video: Flex and Java

Hey James. great preso. I was wondering, where can I get those cool adobe max wallpapers?

Very interesting, but the stream stops at 22:23!

Stopped at 39% (44.9MB) in both Firefox and IE. I managed to watch the whole presentation on Effexts and skinning though…

Thanks

Yep – that seems to have worked.

Thanks for your help – really useful presentation.

Hi James,

It was a great presentation.
I am very new to Flex. I have learned so many things.

Thanks,

Hi James,
First of all thank you for this informational video.
Actually I have a very similar requirement for Flex + Spring + LCDS/BlazeDS.
I need to build a sample Spring application integrated with Flex.
Following are my questions…

1) Created a sample Spring application like http://localhost:9081/Flex/test.do... This shows me the (/WEB-INF/jsp/)test.jsp as configured in web.xml. In this test.jsp I have a configured FlexTagLib and I have used mxml code in this jsp. Application runs but flash is not displayed cauz the swf file is generated within the WEB-INF/jsp/(In my Spring beans xml view resolver is configured to /WEB-INF/jsp/=suffix and .jsp as prefix.) which the browser will not be able to detect.
Plz give me a solution for this. If am able to solve this then only my basic setup would be ready i.e a web application built on Spring and Flex….

2) Once my basic set up is up and running in my first page I need to have form fields(which would map to say UserVO.java) and when I submit the form I should be able to go the controller add the record in DB and get a list of users and dispaly the result in another jsp using .
Basically I just need how to call a bean(adduser.do) configured in spring-beans xml and return a modelandview and in that jsp display the results.

I know am asking too much but am struggling a lot. Just FYI I am very much comfirtable with Spring application new to Spring+Flex. Also I have the LCDS setup ready within my application.

Sir, I would be waiting for your reply. If required you can also mail me to myextrawork@gmail.com.

Thanks in advance.

Hi James,
Thanks for the reply.
These links I had got from google last week itself :-) but this does not have the solution for my problem.

My new basic dumb question is when we are developing a Flex+Spring MVC web application the url should be http://localhost:9081/Flex/test.do or http://localhost:9081/Flex/test.mxml Am 100% sure your answere would be the first one .do and thats how I have a basic application set up ready up and running.
Now that I have a basic setup ready from my home page(adduser.jsp) I fill in a form data (firstName, lastName,….) and I click submit the request should to AddController (as configured in my spring beans Flex-servlet.xml). In the controller implement some logic create a list of users and return the list the ModelAndView object (As my controller would implement SimpleFormController my onSubmit overridder function would return a ModelAndView object say showAllUsers.jsp as success view) . In my next page in this eg. its showAllUsers.jsp I would like to display the ArrayList in mx:DataGrid format.

I hope I have explained my issue clearly and sorry if its frustrating :-) but I need help of some expertise like you.

Thanks again in advance…

Hi James,

I am a Oracle Siebel CRM Analyst & Developer, novice to FLEX Builder. I am trying to do something similar to what you showed in the presentation here – only difference being I want to pull data from a Sybase iAnywhere database sitting on the local machine and present it on a Flex based UI.
I have a similar Java program which connects to the database and is able to pull data. I am stuggling at the point of being successfully integrate Java with Flex and being able to show Java data in Flex. I believe I don’t have the same folder structure as yours in the IDE – Under my Java project, I dont see the ‘flex’ folder and all its child folders/files (including remoting-config.xml). Could you please tell what am I missing?
I did install the plugin Flex plugin for Eclipse.

I would greatly appreciate your time and response.
Thanks!

Hey James, which book would you refer for the beginners in order to learn flex java.

Hello James,
Really very nice and useful.
Thanks a lot.

I have a problem with RemoteObject:
PositionDA file:

public List getPositions(){

List lst = new ArrayList();

try{
String sql = “”;
sql =”SELECT * FROM ChucVu “;

PreparedStatement pre = getConnection().prepareStatement(sql);
ResultSet rs = pre.executeQuery();

while(rs.next()){
//pos = new Position(rs.getString(“MaCV”).trim(),rs.getString(“MoTa”).trim());

lst.add(new Position(rs.getString(“MaCV”).trim(),rs.getString(“MoTa”).trim()));

//System.out.println(pos.strID + “:” + pos.strDescr );
}

}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

return lst;

}

Service file:
public List getPositions(){
PositionDA posDao = new PositionDA();
return posDao.getPositions();
}

Flex file:

private function resultCall(event:ResultEvent):void {

dg.dataProvider = event.result as ArrayCollection;

}

My method which get data form SQLServer, it work in Java but it is error for Flex?

I am working wrong?
Thanks!

Great presentation, James! I can’t wait to try it out. Coming from Java side with JSF experience, I really like the push in Data Management Service.
Thanks,

Tim
