Re: [flexcoders] XMLHTTPRequest in Flex instead of Javascript
Tracy, Rock on. Thanks for the tips -- especially the login example using JSP. I've got to look through our CMS though. All the pages are, technically, JSP pages, so this should be interesting to try out. thanks again! jon On May 11, 2007, at 5:00 PM, Tracy Spratt wrote: I have a simple example here, using either jsp or aspx.

Re: [flexcoders] XMLHTTPRequest in Flex instead of Javascript
James - Cool, thanks for that. Are you using caringorn per chance? Thinking about getting into that - I come from a more traditional AS2 background and usually follow that type of development paradigm, but doing so in Flex 2 / AS3 is, at the moment, just a tad beyond my experience level. cheers, jon On May 12, 2007, at 5:36 PM, James Ward wrote: You can also use the HTTPService and integrate with JAAS pretty easily.

You can also use the HTTPService and integrate with JAAS pretty easily.
We do this in the Meldware Flex based email client. Here are a few code
snippets:
From Services.mxml:
mx:HTTPService id=loginService
url=j_security_check
showBusyCursor=true
useProxy=false/
From LoginDelegate.as:
public function login(user:UserVO):void
{
var params:Object = new Object();
params.j_username = user.username;
params.j_password = user.password;
var call:AsyncToken = service.send(params);
call.addResponder(responder);
}
Hope that helps.

Re: [flexcoders] XMLHTTPRequest in Flex instead of Javascript
Yea, probably a good thought. I'm actually looking at Caringorn (sp?) as a solution to the service issues that I will probably run into in the near future. At the moment, there are only two of us on the team developing this application we're working on, but I'm already aware of the use cases for Caringorn - and it definitely fits the bill from a development perspective. thanks, jon On May 10, 2007, at 5:26 PM, Persaud, Anthony wrote: Take a look at the HTTPService class. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/rpc/http/HTTPService.html I prefer to use the pure actionscript interface to it than using MXML – especially if you have a lot of services on the server. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] XMLHTTPRequest in Flex instead of Javascript
As I understand what you are asking, yes. Do something like this: Var oRequest:Object = new Object(); oRequest.myArg1 = myValue1; oRequest.myArg2 = myValue2; myHTTPService.send(oRequest); myArg1 and 2 become posted form variables, normally accessible server-side from the page Request object. Some folks have tried to put credentials in the header, but not with much success, I gather. There is an AS3 class out there that does MD5 encryption.

[flexcoders] XMLHTTPRequest in Flex instead of Javascript
So... I've got a backend server running Apache Tomcat and I've got the ability through our CMS to dynamically create gateways, and use an AJAX API to get information from them. I've never used AJAX and I'm pretty new to Flex, so the question is how can I make the same type of call that an XMLHTTPRequest is making in Javascript, but rather do it in Flex? I really have no care for Javascript ... and see no need to use it unless I absolutely have to. I'd rather keep all my communication within Flex/Flash. Maybe I'm overlooking something pretty obvious, but any pointers would be appreciated. thanks! jon

How about HTTPRequest? Doesn't it actually use URLLoader underneath, but is optimized for RPC data transport?

Take a look at the HTTPService class. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/rpc/http/HTTPService.html I prefer to use the pure actionscript interface to it than using MXML - especially if you have a lot of services on the server.

RE: [flexcoders] XMLHTTPRequest in Flex instead of Javascript
I'll also add that you should take a look at setting up a crossdomain.xml on your server - if not, nothing might work (depending on how you are building your application). http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14213 From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Bradley Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 2:21 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] XMLHTTPRequest in Flex instead of Javascript I love simple answers. thanks man. now I just have to figure out how to use it.

i am quite new to flex too, but maybe mx:httpService is what you need? If you
are returning valid XML i think it would be quite easy to work with.

So...
I've got a backend server running Apache Tomcat and I've got the
ability through our CMS to dynamically create gateways, and use an
AJAX API to get information from them.
I've never used AJAX and I'm pretty new to Flex, so the question is
how can I make the same type of call that an XMLHTTPRequest is making
in Javascript, but rather do it in Flex? I really have no care for
Javascript ... and see no need to use it unless I absolutely have to.
I'd rather keep all my communication within Flex/Flash.
Maybe I'm overlooking something pretty obvious, but any pointers
would be appreciated.
thanks!
