Hi,

Can someone please detail me as to how can I deploy my flex
application on a J2EE server. I tried to deploye the same as per
the guidelines in the flex builder Help on building and deploying
the flex applications on a J2EE server, but in vain. My wrapper
HTML file cannot access the .as(action script) and other required
files. Besides my .swf cannot access the Internet when I run it
from my application server.

Please someone help me out.

TIA,

Shishir;
I would recommend creating an ant script that cleans,
compiles, and deploys. If you are already building J2EE
applications, then all you really need to do is and your flex stuff
to your ant deployment script.;
Thanks for the reply. I am a mere novice in the field of
these technologies for web applications, so I am not aware of Ant
or of other such things. Can you please detail me in layman terms,
how to deploy an example flex application on a j2ee application
server.

TIA,

Shishir;
Which J2EE application server are you using? Their deployment
procedures differ.;
Oracle’s JDeveloper.;
JDeveloper is a client-side integrated development
environment (IDE), not a J2EE server. From a quick glance at
Oracle’s
JDeveloper
documentation, it seems to work with a number of app servers,
including Oracle’s OC4J and Apache Tomcat.

So back to my previous question: which J2EE app server are
you using?;
Ok, I am sorry for the last post. Its Oracle’s OC4J am trying
to deploy my flex application on. OC4J is the default app server
that comes along with the JDeveloper IDE.;
The Flex Data Services J2EE install gives you three WAR
files, which you should be able to deploy into OC4J.

* See the OC4J docs for deployment instructions

* See the
Flex
installation instructions for more information, including a
special step for OC4J.;
Thanks for the links, but I still dont understand the role of
flex data services in the process of deployment of a simple flex
application on an app server. Why do I need to install the flex
data services application.?;
Among other things, Flex Data Services offers enhanced
security, proxy functionality, messaging, and the Data Management
Service (for real-time data synchronization among multiple
clients). That said, one of the major features of Flex 2 is the
ability to deploy your Flex application _without_ a server.

Have you read the Getting Started with Flex 2 book? It’s
online in HTML format
in
LiveDocs and in PDF from the
Flex
Documentation page. In particular, I think the tutorial lessons
are very helpful, although you may have to adapt them a little if
you’re using JDeveloper.

HTH;
I see, that’s interesting. But right now the only concern I
have is to deploy the application on the server. I did read the
‘Getting Started’ and specifically the Deploying flex application
part of it, but the directory structures given in there have no
similarity to what is available on OC4J.

;
You should be able to install the flex.war, flex-admin.war,
and samples.war web applications using the instructions Oracle
provides. There is a lot of doc on their website, and
this
might be the page you’re looking for. Also, there is an additional
tweak to OC4J listed
here.

My advice is to start by deploying samples.war and running
the sample applications on OC4J. This will verify the
installation/deployment. Once you’ve done that, set up a Flex
Builder project for one of the samples and make sure that works.
That should get you going.;
hi,

I know am pushing it a bit too far, but can you please let me
know where do I get these .war files from. As in, my installation
of the flex builder doesn’t contain the .war files for the sample
applications which are there already. Also , if I wish to make a
.war file for my application how do I do that.?

thanks,

shishir;
No problem. You get the WAR files by downloading Flex Data
Services and choosing the J2EE option when you run the installer.
You can get the installer by going to
http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/,
clicking on the Flex for Developers tab and downloading free Flex
Data Services 2 Express.

As I said earlier in this thread, you can get installation
instructions from
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/2/install.html#flex j2ee

That should do it!;
Is .war file any different from an archive such as .zip of
all the project files associated with the application. That is to
say, can I zip all the contents and rename it to a .war extension
and give to my OC4J server which will deploy it.;
Here’s what I think you do:

1) Deploy the flex.war file (this is the empty WAR file you
use to start new FDS apps) onto your test/development server.

2) Modify configuration files, create and test assemblers,
define resources, as necessary. Create MXML and AS files, compile
them, define HTML wrappers, etc., and store them in or under the
web application root (not under WEB-INF).

3) Zip up the app into a WAR file and deploy on other
servers, as necessary.

HTH;
Is that not too much to ask for.[:(]. I seriously wonder if
the whole web application deployment technology needs a
restructuring to get rid of these cumbersome issues. I am perplexed
if the same application can run from inside the flex builder , WTH
it cannot from within the web server.

I’ve been working on a simple site to play flash videos, user
clicks on a button and the corresponding video plays in the
FLVPlayback Component. This works fine, the issue is when they
click on another button, the second video loads, but stops on the
first frame and the component becomes unresponsive (all linked
buttons are grayed out). The component completely ignores any
commands from this point, it won’t pause, play, or accept another
flv to load. I’ve tried creating a very simplified version and
still the problem persists, perhaps I’m missing something easy that
someone can point out for me, so here is the simplified code:

First click of ‘nxtBtn’ plays video properly, second click loads
the second video of the array, but stops it at first frame &
FLVPlayback component stops responding.

How did they do the fullscreen mode?

Thanks a lot!

;
type ‘fullscreen’ into flash help search and click on the
first item under Programming ActionScript 3.0, ‘Setting Stage
Properties’ and look at ‘Working with full-screen mode’.

Or have a look at adobe articles, for example,
here.

Hi,

In your conditional comments (CC) in the head of the page
look for

this……

#sidebar2, .thrColFixHdr #sidebar1 { padding-top: 30px; }

and replace with…….

#sidebar2 .thrColFixHdr #sidebar1 { padding-top: 30px; }

So you have created a rollover image or sidlet. Some of mine
take up 1/2 to 3/4 of the captivate screen, so I can not see the
square for the rollover box. I have to shrink the image, 1/2 size,
grab the roll over, and then resize the image, I have tried to find
ways of selecting the rollover square but I have not found it.

I hope u guys are not going to tell me its not
possible;
Hi jane101933

Perhaps take a different approach with your workflow?

In cases such as these, it’s usually best to configure the
rollover area before you attempt to configure what appears. This
way you have no concerns over whether what appears covers the
rollover area.

Cheers… Rick

Hi Jane101933 and Rick

I often run full screen rollovers and a quick trick here is
to click on the Rollover in the timeline. The actual rollover box
is now selected with its resizing handles showing.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
