Re: [flexcoders] Flex Development on the Mac
Title: Re: [flexcoders] Flex Development on the Mac I do 100% of my Flex development on my Mac G5 Quad using Tomcat, Apache ANT, Apache AXIS and an array of databases, from Sybase to mySQL (depending on the client). I use BBEdit (cant speak for Adobes official position on FlexBuilder 2.0 on the Mac platform), Eclipse for my web services development, and a bit of command line magic here and there. The bottom line is that it is absolutely feasible to do full-fledged development on a Mac. Naturally, only Adobe can say if they will officially support 2.0 on the Mac.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: User login and logout
Title: Re: [flexcoders] Re: User login and logout The answer here is quite simple- JAAS. Every major servlet container on the market today supports JAAS, from Tomcat to JRUN, WLS to WebSphere. Write your JAAS component to track users logging in. Youll have to build in logic to handle situations where the user doesnt formally log-out, i.e. They close the browser window. Remember, this is still a web app and no notification will be sent to the containers if the user abandons the application that route. You could get creative here, or use any of the pre-built JAAS authentication libraries from NTLM to LDAP to authenticate above and beyond controlling the roles and capabilities of the principles. Search for JAAS here and in the NNTP groups and youre guaranteed to find a number of threads discussing the techniques further. HTH, Jason __ Jason Weiss Cynergy Systems, Inc.

RE: [flexcoders] datagrid column sorting
The sorting relies on ASCII values. In the ASCII table Uppercase comes before lowercase.

RE: [flexcoders] Maintaining Session Data/Passing data to other apps
The right way to do this is to establish
single sign-on at the J2EE container level between your two deployed
applications. Depending on the state being maintained, storing that data
on the client using a SharedObject could be the worst solution in the world for
security reasons. In Tomcat you can use the crossContext attribute on the
connector to allow session state for authenticated sessions to be shared among
all of the web applications deployed in that engine. Macromedia even provides
documentation of deploying CF and using the crossContext attribute Im
suggesting (other containers have equivalents- check your containers
docs for more details):
http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/j2ee/cfmx7j2ee_tomcat_deploy.html
If you already have the apps in a single J2EE
instance as youve described, this solution is the right choice if you have
any data that is remotely sensitive in the session. For example, on some
of the apps Ive been involved with here at Cynergy Systems we leverage
single sign-on extensively. Our web services are in a different web
context then the main application. When web service calls are made from
the Flex client, we dont transmit any user data whatsoever. Instead,
the web service receives the raw data and turns around and asks Tomcat Hey
Tomcat, which authenticated user is making this request? and then uses
their credentials as managed on the server by the server to fulfill the
request. In architecture like this one, if someone should manage to hack
their way into your web services they wont be able to get at any real
data because retrieves and updates ask the container for the user details, not
the caller. The only way around this is to obtain compromised login
credentials.

Session Data/Passing data to other apps
Hi,
I'm developing an app at the moment which
maintains user info for a
suite of applications. It works by authenticating
and retrieving user
information then redirecting to the target
application. The problem is
i was hoping the session data would be maintained
between the apps, as
i would use redirection ( getUrl('http://www.hotmail.com') within the
same browser, but the session data gets destroyed
between the two. How
can i maintain the session data? An alternative
would be some method
to pass data between the apps, but the data is
sensitive, so i can't
use query string parameters e.g
http://localhost:8101/flex/charts/PieChart1.mxml?
fname=Reinerlname=Knizia
The app i am redirecting to is another j2ee
instance on the same
server.
I am using CF7 and Flex 1.5
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Scott

Re: [flexcoders] Is Flex mature?
Title: Re: [flexcoders] Is Flex mature? Steven, You cited that you know of teams of 30+ developers using Cairngorm on projects today, implying that there are multiple Flex projects with these characteristics. I was curious if those projects have resulted in production (released) software, and if the companies could be publicly cited? My experience in the Java/J2EE world was miserable when teams bloomed beyond 10, 12 people. In fact, I cant think of a single multi-million dollar Java project with over a dozen people that succeeded, as measured strictly by software that was done close to on time, close to on-budget, close to meeting expected business functionality and finally, absolutely meeting the companies expected ROI prior to starting the project looking back. Literally every project that I was on that had under a dozen developers met these metrics. In fact, one project in particular had 8 engineers on it, and it meet managements goals, and then it exceeded them substantially to the tune of 8 figures. Yes, flame bait, my position is that too many developers means too many hands in the cookie jar, if you will, and a project destined to fail regardless of tools or technology or methodology. Im very conflicted by your positioning in this response, and thats why Im asking you if you can remove the veil on these clients you reference. The terms agile practices and 30+ developers are paradoxical, wouldnt you agree? Agile, by definition, is about developing software in short iterations of 1 to 4 weeks. 9 women cant have a baby in 1 month, no matter what they try. Likewise, I cant imagine the project management nightmare of having 30 developers crank out iterations in 1 to 4 weeks. Agile development promotes face to face communication over written documents. That must be one helluva meeting room to have 30 developers ~LOL~. Agile development contends that customers and engineers work together in a single workspace, some refer to it as the bullpen though we always preferred the term Bat Cave! 30 engineers plus customers in one space doing 1 to 4 week iterations? Perhaps these folks are doing pair programming (!) so there are really only 15 engineers on the project ~LOL~. Im not looking to pick a fight with this post, but merely inquiring about the feasibility for you and your team to publish white papers that back these positions up. Until then, Im afraid Ill have to treat these positions as suspect because they are counter-intuitive and go against every bit of my experience and likely the experiences of other seasoned J2EE developers. On a slightly different topic, the Core J2EE patterns the book with the Sun logo splashed all over its cover **mostly** documents patterns (used extremely loosely because I content that the only real patterns were those introduced by the classic GoF book) that were often fixes or work-arounds for missing functionality in the J2EE spec and/or container design flaws. This isnt meant to belittle the engineers that worked on the related J2EE specs, but merely that you have to start somewhere and there were gaps along the way the core J2EE patterns helped plug the proverbial holes. To recap, Id be very interested in seeing you and the former iteration::two team deliver white papers that discuss this environment in particular you have repeatedly cited now in a number of posts- large projects with dozens of developers using agile methodologies and J2EE-adapted patterns (with or without Cairngorm- my inquiry isnt about Cairngorm per se) in a Flex environment. In particular, Id hope that these papers would cite metrics that our community could agree on metrics like those I cited earlier so that proper conclusions can be reached based on fact, not supposition or unproven statements. Until papers are published with legitimate metrics that depict success demonstrated by what I view as a counter-intuitive position, I feel compelled to cast doubt upon your claims, to both the FlexCoders community and to my Flex prospects and clients.

EJB was the same overcomplicated that Cairngorm is and as far as I understand Cairngorm uses the same patterns and fully inspired by J2EE. EJB and Cairngorm have nothing in common; both are frameworks, one as you know is a (excuse the simplification) framework for object persistence, the other is a framework microarchitecture for RIA. That the EJB spec is overcomplicated does not mean that Cairngorm is, just because both can be called frameworks or both have reference to J2EE. Cairngorm does borrow heavily from the body of work
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Is Flex Mature ?
Title: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Is Flex Mature ? Steven, Thanks for taking the time to respond to my concerns.

But to address a couple of your points: characteristics. I was curious if those projects have resulted in production (released) software, and if the companies could be publicly cited? The very nature of projects of this size, is such that their release schedules are not in the days or weeks ahead. Or in the past. So I'm afraid, I can't cite client names, or describe their projects in any degree of detail. I'd love to - and perhaps these companies will step forth on the list and discuss their own implementations; but I don't necessarily expect them to. My apologies.

Likewise, I cant imagine the project management nightmare of having 30 developers crank out iterations in 1 to 4 weeks. I didn't say that 30 developers were all working on the same iteration of development. Careful application architecture, a well-defined framework for development, good coding standards, collective ownership, a strong emphasis on unit-testing and continuous integration, all enable the modularisation of a project of this size into a number of almost concurrent mini-projects, each of which can be delivered by agile teams. In a specific project we're engaged with right now, the developers within the organisation are all engaged in parallel iterations of development, on different modules of the same overall application. Each teams' iterations are aligned, each team continously integrates into the same code-base, yet the average team size working on any given iteration is within the magic numbers that you rightly specify - 4-6 people. I've personally worked on agile teams as big as 10 developers, with 4-week iterations, and would agree that this is getting to as big a team-size as you'd be comfortable with. Agile development promotes face to face communication over written documents. That must be one helluva meeting room to have 30 developers ~LOL~. There is a pragmatic approach here; each team (working on their own iteration) has a morning standup meeting with their 4-6 developers. Meanwhile, a representative of each team engages in a company-wide standup meeting with the business stakeholders. This ensures the necessary granularity of team-wide discussion while ensuring that teams are aware of project-level issues and opportunities. This allows the agile approach to scale. And just to be clear; I'm not suggesting ever that agile development is the only way to deliver these projects. Other teams have their own methodologies, based on their own experiences, and they'll work for them. But agile works for us. Agile development contends that customers and engineers work together in a single workspace, some refer to it as the bullpen though we always preferred the term Bat Cave! 30 engineers plus customers in one space doing 1 to 4 week iterations? Perhaps these folks are doing pair programming (!) so there are really only 15 engineers on the project ~LOL~. The approach to pair-progamming is also pragmatic, on a story by story basis. And yes, there is a customer on-site to whom the development team have permanent access. Im not looking to pick a fight with this post, but merely inquiring about the feasibility for you and your team to publish white papers that back these positions up. When I propose whitepapers, I'm proposing technical whitepapers around unit-testing, continuous integration, architecture of large Flex applications, etc. There are other books/whitepapers that cover agile development in large teams; it's not high on my priority, nor do I feel particularly compelled, to back the position up
RE: Sho - anything wrong with a Class Example app like BeatPort -- RE: [flexcoders] Re: Links to Nice-looking Flex Apps
I guess best should be a relative term and put into context. The Fortune 1500 companies that we work with would likely be very disappointed if we presented them with a UI like BeatPort for a mission critical enterprise-class application. Let me stress upfront that my point is not to detract from what surely was a lot of work by the developers of BeatPort, work Im sure they are proud of, but to point out that different class applications expect different levels of sophistication and standards. For an application focused a niche music market, the BeatPort UI might be categorized as a best-in-class solution, especially if it were compared to the rest of its competitive field. Im not familiar with their target market nor am I interested in the value-proposition that their site offers, so before flaming me please take that into account. However, as a published author, lecturer and software architect on systems in production that have literally generated billions of dollars in revenue for my clients, including Crisis Coach that was nominated for a MAX award at this years conference, my experience and client interactions give me the insight to believe that enterprise customers will lean toward the other end of the UI spectrum. Our customers insist on clean and functional interfaces. Soothing color schemes, not neon green. Breadcrumbs and navigational cues- not things that look like buttons that serve no apparent purpose (like the sub-navigation button on their main screen). With this in mind, a multi-national billion dollar+ insurance company or financial institution looking to write a customer facing application would neither consider the BeatPort UI as a standard nor as a target to aim for. The interface is far too busy for Joe Customer who looks to the banks online services to get things done, like pay bills. Enterprises respect simple and intuitive interfaces for a reason- theyve spent millions over the years on case studies and focus groups that back up their position. Again, Im speaking constructively and in-context of the customers we service and not trying to detract from the hard work of the BeatPort developers. But before we lay a blanket statement out there that BeatPort is the best example of Flex development we should consider where Macromedia is targeting Flex and where the growth in the Flex market will come fromFortune 1500 customers writing customer facing applications. In this context, BeatPort is a poor representation in my opinion of what Flex is truly capable of. As a final example to support my premise, consider the Flex application development by Yahoo! Maps. Very clean lines. Very distinct functions, soothing color scheme and an interface that is very functional, yet still sexy enough to scream lets see you do this with DHTML baby. Thats the UI goal I shoot for when I work with my customers, and to me, a Yahoo! Maps or a Crisis Coach UI sets the bar for how Flex UIs should be written.
