Ok, I'm encountering yet another bug. 3 found in the past 4 days... I'm beginning to think the FB4 data management is pretty buggy and not a lot of time was spent cleaning it up...
I'm still not sure I understand the data management functionality very well but I found this article that helped a bit as far as code goes: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/fcf_managing_data_print.html The issue seems to be that the update function doesn't like it when there are multiple fields being updated in the single call. I had a foreign key that I was not adding to a dataGrid for display so that value was coming up null in my update function. Here's the buggy part.... I added a DataGridColumn for that field and set visible="false" then re-ran the program and received the same error: "Local item has changes to properties that conflict with remote change." I decided I wanted to see that value to make sure it was getting populated correctly so I set it to visible="true" then re-ran... All of a sudden it was working. The value should still exist if visible="false" is set on the DataGridColumn. 2 days of wasted time on this one... UG. I wish I could have found better documentation on how the process works (or any documentation at all...) I would have at least realized that it's expecting to update only one field at a time. sj ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 8:09 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] ConflictDetector... Why? I've been arguing with the FB4 / CF9 conflict detector the past couple of days and it's become very apparent that I'm misunderstand something. I have a datagrid component that is populated from a CF9/MySQL datasource. I set the datagrid to editable and created the associated functions to update the datagrid. My first issue was that the function was giving me an error : "Attempt to use managed delete method with an item that is not managed on this client". After hours of playing around with this I ended up enabling datamanagement on the object for the delete and update functions which took care of that error mesasge. I now get an error: "Local item has changes to properties that conflict with remote change". I can run the data service call manually in FB4 just fine using "Test Operation" so I know the function works. But when I try to update a record I get that error message. The data I'm presenting to the user would only be modified/changed/updated by the data owner. I know the items are different; that's why I'm updating the remote DB! 1) Why is there a conflict checker and is there a good reason that this is in place? 2) Is there an easy way to turn this functionality off? There's very little documentation out there on this subject....
