Yoav Zibin — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 08:35:11 -0000

I followed the instructions in the readme,
surfed to:
http://localhost:8080/openamf/examples/client2.html
and got this exception:
any ideas?

Integration with Red5 open source project

Yoav Zibin — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 07:46:46 -0000

Hi,
I'm using the Red5 project (http://www.osflash.org/red5), and I recently discovered that it doesn't support the entire AMF format.
For example, when I send a BitmapData it doesn't attempt to deserialize it (just returns null). see:
http://jira.red5.org/browse/SN-72

You can see the datatypes it supports:
http://osflash.org/documentation/amf/astypes

Does OpenAMF support sending BitmapData?

Thanks,
Yoav

Socket Server for FDS-like capabilities

Brian Scott O'keefe — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 23:59:41 -0000

include a socket server option that is multi-threaded to allow this project to be used for chat / multi-player gaming as well as the current uses...

Exclude Transient fields from Serialization

ashkon — Thu, 28 Jul 2005 07:08:27 -0000

It will be particularly useful if feilds (data members)
marked as transient are excluded from object
serialization when being converted into Flash objects.

Add RequestContext.getHttpSession(boolean)

Isaac Arias — Sat, 19 Feb 2005 14:12:26 -0000

Hi,

I noticed we were creating sessions unnecessarily for a
high-traffic site and realized there is currently now
way to passively query Session information from the
RequestContext. In other words, getting the Session
from RequestContext alsways creates a new one if one
doesn't exist.

I'm attaching a simple patch that creates a new method
(RequestContext.getHttpSession(boolean create)) that
mimics the behavior of the Servlet spec. We cannot
afford to create new sessions on every request so we
need this, and I thought it may be of general interest
to the OpenAMF users.

I hope you find it useful.

Service Browser

andre cardozo — Tue, 11 Jan 2005 13:13:27 -0000

the macromedia flash IDE has a service browser that
describes the service and methods, you guys could add
this to the openamf, i was looking to it with eclipse
debug and it calss a "query" method.

Unable to connect !!!

James Chong — Fri, 31 Dec 2004 06:04:41 -0000

Hi all,

I am new to Flash Remoting. I have downloaded the
latest example and sucessfully installed to my PC. I
managed to run the client2.html demo.

My problem is when I try to use my own Flash file to
access a javabean in the Tomcat, I get error
connection 'Can't find the URL
http://host:8080/openamf/gateway'. I have copied the
openamf.jar to
CATALINA_BASE/webapps/myapps/Web-inf/lib
directory. I have also copied the sample web.xml,
openamf-config.xml and build-webservice.xml to the
respective directory (/Web-inf). I also amended the
web.xml according to the guide in the example. I am
using version 1.0RC10, Tomcat 5.5.4, JDK1.5.0 and
Flash MX2004Pro with Actionscript 2.0.

I have browsed thru the forum and found a similar
problem faced by another user but is another way round.
Please refer to :

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?
thread_id=3829481&forum_id=32430

Please let me know what other things that I need to
configure or install...

Record Set Page Size Override

HMK — Fri, 24 Dec 2004 16:58:00 -0000

We would like to have a way to override the record set
page size if we need to for a specific webservice.

i.e., in the config file we have it set to defaultPageSize
= 99999999999 (return everything)

We would like to a specific number for a given instance
of a Web Service.

It would then return to the defaultPageSize =
9999999999 for the next webservice call.

Add RequestContext.getHttpServletResponse()

Isaac Arias — Tue, 14 Sep 2004 22:34:41 -0000

Add a RequestContext.getHttpServletResponse() method.
Is there any reason why this wasn't added with
getHttpServletRequest()?

You can currently get at the HttpServletRequest and
therefore to the HttpSession and SevletContext.
However, there is no clean way to get the
HttpServletResponse.

I have an updated version of RequestContext and
DefaultGateway that add this functionality. Let me know
if you're interested.

RecordSet support

Jason Calabrese — Sun, 20 Apr 2003 23:24:41 -0000

Add support for Deserializing java.sql.ResultSet to a format that flash
can handle.

This should be based on the code from amfphp project.
