RE: [flexcoders] Flex2: AS Number to Java Long mapping

[Jim Schneider]

Same happens with NaN. Do you (Adobe) have any thoughts as to whether this is worthy of a “fix”, or will we need to remember to add the logic to check for 0 in all of our Java objects.   Thanks,   Jim   ------------------------------------------------- Jim Schneider KJ Interactive, Inc. 1-877-370-6906 1-612-605-5399 From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Matt Chotin Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2006 8:12 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex2: AS Number to Java Long mapping   What happens if you set the Number to NaN in AS?  I believe null will coerce to 0 in AS3.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jim Schneider Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2006 9:20 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex2: AS Number to Java Long mapping   I’m experiencing the following behavior. I set an AS Number variable to null prior to sending to a remote object. On the backend (Java), the Number is converted to a 0. The expected data type on the Java end is a Long (object, not primitive). This is causing us problems since we expect a null Long object to be represented as null in the database, not 0, and as an indicator of a new object that needs to be inserted rather than updated.   Is this expected behavior/mapping? Is it a bug? I can fix it on the backend with some additional logic, but I’d rather not have to do that.   Thoughts?   Thanks.   ------------------------------------------------- Jim Schneider KJ Interactive, Inc. 1-877-370-6906 1-612-605-5399   -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
