However, WEB-INF isn't part of the package structure as the package declaration always starts from com.proj... for all the current classes.

[flexcoders] Why the weird semantics for some of the higher-order functions?
I very much appreciate having functions as first-class values. However,
I'm finding it increasingly annoying that Array.map and .filter don't
follow the normal definitions. I keep writing
a.map( function(l){return ...} );
only to get run-time errors because map requires a function with three
(!) arguments. So I have to change it to:
a.map( function(l,i:int,a:Array){return ...} );
Why do map/filter and some of the other higher-order functions have such
an unconventional semantics? As well as being annoying, passing the
index and complete array also seems to me to violate the normal
encapsulation rules that you'd expect of map.
Is there a 'normal' version of map somewhere that I'm missing?
Thanks,
Ed

How can I make actionScript use this value dynamically, so that

switch(myComboBox.selectedItem.data){
case PRODUCT:
return item.PRODUCT;
break;
case FIELD2:
return item.FIELD2;
break;
case FIELD3:
return item.FIELD3;
break;

Something like
item.getValueofNamedProperty(myComboBox.selectedItem.data);.
[Without complicating the question, I ask because this would greatly
simplify a complex charting component I'm developing, where the user
should be able to summarize the underlying data based on any of the
fields; so I need to know the selected property for the filter
function, the toolTip, the sort function, etc. Right now I'm only
supporting 3 properties, since I'm relying on nested switch statements
like the one above].
Hopefully I'm just missing a really basic piece of actionScript
syntax. Many thanks for any suggestions!

[flexcoders] Re: Web Service Error Handling Problem
Follow-up:
Support for this is a little better documented in Flex 2, but still
feels like a hack.
If you inspect your RemoteObject and manage to find a reference to the
underlying NetConnection object, you can add a listener for the
NetStatusEvent to detect non-200 http status code responses or dead
connections.
For example, if you're using Renaun's RemoteObjectAMF0
(http://renaun.com/blog/flex-components/remoteobjectamf0/):
remoteObj.gateway_conn.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,
onConnectionFault);
Where onConnectionFault is some function to handle connection-level
failures.
I haven't tried this with the built-in FDS RemoteObject yet, but it
would be nice if both the built-in and Renaun implementations just
called the fault handler on connection failures.
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Ed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
This is killing me as well. When my server returns anything other
than HTTP status 200, like a 404 or 503, even if that's an
appropriate response, neither the success nor fault handlers are
executed. As far as Flash/Flex is concerned, it will continue waiting
as if a response is forthcoming.
I have a Flex 1.5 fix, but I don't think it works very well.
Say you have a RemoteObject:
mx:RemoteObject id=services source=com.company.Facade
fault=handleFault(event); result=handleResult(event);/
Somewhere you make a call to the facade.
services.doSomething();
Say the request is really long running. Using Apache/Tomcat, the
server may decide to timeout with a 503 (Service Unavailable), which
is an entirely appropriate and expected response.
The 503 response will arrive at my Flex app and be completely ignored.
If I've defined a busy cursor for this request.
mx:method name=doSomething showBusyCursor=true /
Then busy cursor will never go away and the Flex App will just spin.
To fix this, I created a initialize event handler in the class that
contains my RemoteObject.
private function doInitialize(pEvent:Object):Void
{
pEvent.target.services.__conn.onStatus = onConnectionFailure;
}
private function onConnectionFailure(pEvent:Object):Void
{
// 1. do something to indicate a connection failure
// 2. remove the busy cursor
}
This takes advantage of a connection level fault handler which
documented at
http://livedocs.adobe.com/fms/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=0742.html
If you just want *something* in your code to execute on request
failures, this will do it for you.
But there's a big problem with this fix. Not only will you respond to
404s, 503s, and whatever else, but you'll also respond to generic
connection failures, like pulling your network cable out. At first,
that sounds like a bonus. But in practice, connections come and go
all the time. Sometimes the server will just time you out for
inactivity. Sometimes you'll lose your connection for a few seconds
in the middle of a request. Those are false positives.
You should be able to solve that problem by checking the argument
passed to Connection.onStatus. While that is documented, in my case
(Flex 1.5), this argument is always undefined. So when a fault is
detected, you have no way of figuring out whether or not it's legit.
To top it all off, more often than not my entire App becomes
unresponsive after connection failures. You have to hit refresh.
It's disappointing to see that this isn't fixed in Flex 2 yet:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Partsfile=dataservices_099_03.html
I suspect this isn't an Adobe problem, but a browser problem, but I
don't know for sure.
Anyway, even though the cure is probably worse than the disease, this
is something you can try out as well.
