Re: Using __type__ to return objects to Flex
I think there must be a setting that I'm missing. I copied the code over to new install of Eclipse 3 and CF8 (on a clean PC) and ran the code and it returned the correctly Typed Objects (instead of the generic objects I was seeing). I'll probably go through some of the files and see if there's something that's installed on the new copy vs. my local copy. There are quite a few xml files in my jrun folder that may be affecting things. I'll have to check it out and see. What's really frustrating is that if I knew it *didn't* work in CF7, then I would just stop, but as I know it *does* work and is insanely faster than instantiating objects in CF (and transferring them back to AS), that I really want to get it working. Do you guys think that it is one of the XML files that is causing the weirdness or another setting? I just want to make sure I'm focusing my efforts in the correct area. Thanks.

Re: Using __type__ to return objects to Flex
Just figured I would post a follow up here for anyone who is following along (or may be in the future). I've tried way too many different things with settings files and could not get it working. Jon Messer retried and found that it was using a CF8 instance from his CFMX7 install, so was not actually using CFMX7 to return the values, so thus far returning objects by just using remote object on CFMX7 does not appear to work unless using LiveCycle or some other dataservices intermediary. If anyone does get it working (or knows some alterations on CFMX7 to get it working), please post. Thanks. I think there must be a setting that I'm missing.

Re: Using __type__ to return objects to Flex
Yeah, I finally finding that out (after many trials), I was wondering if BlazeDS + CFMX7 would work using the __type__ method? I didn't know if that would translate the structs to objects before passing it off to ActionScript. I don't think it will be possible in cfmx7 (I might be wrong) but I think that __type__ solution was introduced with CF8 for supporting faster object creation for LCDS 2.5.1 data management destinations. -- João Fernandes http://www.onflexwithcf.org http://www.riapt.org ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299652 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Using __type__ to return objects to Flex
Thanks for taking the time to answer all of my questions...
OK,
I had been originally trying to do this in my main application, but seeing as
that wasn't working, I set up a test environment.
I've created (all in my src folder of my Test Flex project)
Test.mxml
TestClass.as
TestClass.cfc
TestClassGateway.cfc
In my gateway file I generate a struct VO. The function I use is:
cffunction name=buildStruct output=false access=remote
cfset var i = 0
cfset var obj = structNew() /
cfset var ret = arrayNew( 1 )
cfscript
while (i lt 100) {
obj['__type__'] = 'TestClass';
obj['firstName'] = ;
obj['lastName'] = ;
obj['address1'] = ;
obj['address2'] = ;
obj['city'] = ;
obj['state'] = ;
obj['zip'] = ;
obj['country'] = ;
obj['email'] = ;
obj['phone'] = ;
obj['fax'] = ;
arrayAppend( ret, duplicate( obj ) );
i = i+1;
}
/cfscript
cfreturn ret /
/cffunction
I use a getAll function to return this newly created VO to my calling AS object
cffunction name=getAll output=false access=remote
cfreturn buildStruct() /
/cffunction
My TestClass.cfc has:
cfcomponent output=false alias=TestClass
cfproperty name=firstName type=string default= /
cfproperty name=lastName type=string default= /
cfproperty name=address1 type=string default= /
cfproperty name=address2 type=string default= /
cfproperty name=city type=string default= /
cfproperty name=state type=string default= /
cfproperty name=zip type=string default= /
cfproperty name=country type=string default= /
cfproperty name=email type=string default= /
cfproperty name=phone type=string default= /
cfproperty name=fax type=string default= /
cfscript
this.firstName = ;
this.lastName = ;
this.address1 = ;
this.address2 = ;
this.city = ;
this.state = ;
this.zip = ;
this.country = ;
this.email = ;
this.phone = ;
this.fax = ;
/cfscript
/cfcomponent
My TestClass.as has
[RemoteClass(alias=TestClass)]
public class TestClass extends EventDispatcher {
(along with getters/setters and my constructor and function call to the
TestClassGateway).
When the data is returned back to AS from CF, it is still just an array of
generic objects. If I create CF objects and return them, they come back as an
array of TestClass objects. I also noticed that in the list of properties of
the generic objects, __type__ is one of them. If it's being converted, this
shouldn't be there, should it?
Sorry I guess I wasn't clear, you absolutely can return arrays of typed
structs and have them converted for you. That's the main point of doing
this. You can return thousands of objects in arrays, and it is ridiculously
faster then creating cfcs, you do not need LCDS to do this.
I mentioned the array because in Flex if you don't have an instance of the
AddressBook object compiled into the app, it will come in as a generic
object. But if it works when you return arrays of vos that were created with
CreateObject, then that's not the problem.
Is the AddressBook.cfc in your webroot or is it under some path?
This :
[RemoteClass(alias=AddressBook)]
will only work (with this method) if AddressBook is in your webroot, if you
use CreateObject it will work without the fully qualified path, but if you
want to use this typed struct method you have to use the full path.
So if your AddressBook is actually in com.vo.AddressBook then you have to
use
struct['__type__'] = 'com.vo.AddressBook'
and
[RemoteClass(alias=com.vo.AddressBook)]
Sorry if I am making it sound more complicated then it is, but it basically
boils down to making sure your __type__ is fully qualified and matches your
alias.

Re: Using __type__ to return objects to Flex
Here's the remote object info:
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.remoting.mxml.Operation;
import mx.rpc.remoting.mxml.RemoteObject;
private var _ro:RemoteObject;
private var _op:Operation;
public function TestClass() {
_ro=new RemoteObject;
_ro.source=TestClassGateway;
_ro.destination=ColdFusion;
_ro.showBusyCursor=true;
_op=Operation(_ro.getOperation(getAll));
_op.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, receiveAll);
}
public function getAll():void {
_ro.getAll();
}
public function receiveAll( event:ResultEvent ):void {
this.dispatchEvent( new Event( TestClass.ALL_RECEIVED ) );
}
I put a breakpoint at the dispatchEvent point so I could see what was contained
in the resultEvent.
Could you post what I'm supposed to change in my services-config.xml file to
get that working? This is what I have for logging in there currently

I also wanted to point out that I'm on CFMX7 (not 8). In the mailing list I
originally saw this on, Sean Corfield mentioned that this was available in MX7
so I've been trying to get it to work (I just wanted to put that out there in
case that's what is messing things up).

Re: Using __type__ to return objects to Flex

My code is outputting to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\OptimizationDemo Do I need to do something else to aliases if I it is setup like this? I have my https://localhost pointing to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\OptimizationDemo though, so my test page would be https://localhost/Test.html My CFCs are also right in this folder.

Thanks for trying. I'll keep plugging away. If I find anything,
I'll
be sure to post back (perhaps it will help someone else)
I don't know what to say.
That exact code (and only that code) works for me on a Mac CF8, on
Linux CF8
and Windows CF7. The only difference I see is that I didn't run it
over SSL
and it looks like you are, but I use this method in production with
SSL.
I'm at a total loss... :-(

Re: Using __type__ to return objects to Flex
I am giving this a try on my current app. However, when the data is returned to Flex, it is not of the type that I specified. All fields are camelCased correctly (I added the properties argument to get around the uppercasing issue), the type is set correctly, and all data is returned, but it is not of type AddressBook. If I do cfreturn createObject( component, AddressBook ).init( arguments.id ) / the data is returned as AddressBook. Any ideas? (Code is below). cffunction name=getAllProperties output=false access=remote cfargument name=queryData type=query required=true / cfargument name=properties type=string required=false default=addressBookId,ownerId,connectionSourceId,addressTypeId,address1,address2,city,state,zip,countryId,longitude,latitude,radianLat,radianLong,lastUpdate,lastUpdateBy,lastUpdateByConnectionSourceId / cfset var INST = structNew() / cfset INST.obj = structNew() / cfset INST.ret = arrayNew( 1 ) / !--- default object to addressbook --- cfset INST.obj['__type__'] = AddressBook / !--- loop over query --- cfloop query=arguments.queryData !--- loop over columns and assign to temporary object --- cfloop list=#arguments.properties# index=INST.property cfset INST.obj[INST.property] = arguments.queryData[INST.property][currentRow] / /cfloop cfscript ArrayAppend( INST.ret, duplicate( INST.obj ) ); /cfscript /cfloop cfreturn INST.ret / /cffunction ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299343 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Using __type__ to return objects to Flex
Argh! For some reason I skipped completely over that part. Other than having to use createobject, do you know of anything that will just return the properties rather than the whole shebang (in CFMX7)? I've returned the data as a query before, but that then requires manipulation on the ActionScript side of things, so if there was a way to tell it this is an AddressBook from CF, that would be extremely useful (without going through LiveCycle). Thanks for the help. How are you calling it from Flex? __type__ only works with FDS, I believe, not with remote objects. cheers, barneyb On Feb 19, 2008 10:54 AM, Gareth Arch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299349 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Using __type__ to return objects to Flex
Hmmm...not too sure what you mean by this. I had the code setup in a DAO gateway, so the cfcomponent alias=AddressBook was in an AddressBook.cfc (the code I posted was a cffunction in AddressBookGateway.cfc). In my AS class, I have [RemoteClass(alias=AddressBook)] to handle the class that is returned from CF (and convert it to the correct AddressBook class). In the code, I'm trying to return an array of AddressBook objects (thus the array that I'm returning). If I do a createobject for CF AddressBook objects and put it in an array, it correctly returns an array of AddressBook objects back to AS; however, if I use the __type__ and a struct of the other variables (even with correct camelCasing), it returns an array of generic objects. If I try a returntype of AddressBook[] from CF, it states that it is not a valid AddressBook (which makes sense as it hasn't been converted yet). If I can only return one item back to AS from CF using this method, I'll probably just stick with the method I was using before (as creating one object vs. one struct isn't going to make a big difference), but if it can send multiple items back as VOs, then that's what I'm looking for. There's something I'm missing between the gateway and the AS. If, as Barney states, it is the LiveCycle intermediary, then I'm fresh out as my company won't pony up for that, but if there's something else that I'm missing that can do the conversion via AMF, then I'm all ears :) Thanks. Gareth sorry pressed send too soon. To finish that sentence : The only thing I see that is odd about your posted code is that you are returning an array, so on the flex side you need to make sure that you are compiling an instance of your VO into the application or you will get a generic object...

Re: SQL help - inserting a dynamic variable
You've more or less posted the answer. The method to use would be: INSERT INTO tblContactAddress(contactID,addressTypeID,address1, etc.) SELECT #contactIDValue#, ID, '#address1Value#',etc. FROM tblAddressType WHERE typename = 'General' Just make sure typename = 'General' will only return one value or it will insert those values each time it finds 'General' in tblAddressType (i.e. if you have 3 typename = 'General' it will insert 3 records) I'm making life harder on myself than I need to. Salient facts: CFMX7, SQL Server 2000 I'm trying to insert an address. The contact address table has the usual fields, i.e. id, contactID, address1, address2, city, state, zip, etc., but it also has an addressTypeID that is a lookup column that references values in an addressType table that has typeid, typename What I _WANT_ to be able to do is something like this: INSERT INTO tblContactAddress(contactID,addressTypeID,address1, etc.) VALUES (#contactIDValue#, (SELECT ID FROM tblAddressType WHERE typename = 'General'), '#address1Value#',etc.) Of course, I would be using cfqueryparam for all variables. SQL Server doesn't like this. Is there a way to accomplish what I'm after? Thanks! Pete ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: SQL help - inserting a dynamic variable
You should be able to join as many tables as you like (just as in a regular query). Just select the column names you need insert into tblthis (columnone, columntwo, columnthree) select c.dataone, d.datatwo, e.datathree from mycolumns c inner join mycolumnstwo d on (c.my_id = d.my_id) inner join mycolumnsthree e on (c.my_id = e.my_id) where c.typename = 'General' Oh, so IOW I can only do that for one join table, not more than one? I have a couple of lookup columns that I'll be inserting... Pete ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
