I am a Sun Certified Java programmer. Graduated from BITS, Pilani in 2006. Big fan of Flex, Java and BlazeDS. I believe that If it is RIA it is on Flash Platform and all applications should be RIAs.
Currently working as a Computer Scientist in the Flash Builder team at Adobe.

Hi Ravish,
Can you please explain what kind of a comparison you are looking for? Is it in terms of the API or is it the security?
Hi Sujit,
is ther any sample source code avil to integrate flex with struts…
Hi sujit,
I am a flash developer. recently i made a CAD application in flash using AS2. this was my first experience of any note in object oriented programming..however the project even though fairly complex went very well..
Now the clients wants me to convert this to flex. I have no prior exp. in flex, i just downloaded flex 2 builder. But am having lil problems figuring out what excatly needs done here.
I am just looking for some hints n suggestions on how to go about this.
warm regards
siddhartha
** the application is basically a drawing application, which allows for object to be drawn, scaled, rotated, depths changed, erased, application state saved as SVG , undo/redo and few others things..
** the client wishes to have the GUI as components extending some mx classes, but he is ready to accept for now a single component created (i only vaguely understand what that implies right now).

Hi Sujit,
It was good to get an update from your blog about the interest in Flex among Indians. I would like to see the applications created in 6 hours, waiting for that! It would be good if you send it across by email, if not possible to put on blogs. I would be happy to see the faster development results from the platform which I am thinking of using in startup.
I am Prashant Sachdev (MBA, Babson College, Boston) starting a company in area of audio / video metadata. To start with I will be building the basic functionality similar to (veotag dot com) and currently looking for people who have some experience with Flash / Flex / AIR / actionscript. Do let me know some people who you might know and could be interested in working for startup.
It would also be good to talk with the guys who participated in the contest – 6 hours application development. Do connect me with them too and especially with the winners they might have interest working with videos.
Thanks

Hey Sujit,
your tutorials are good..
I am using RemoteObject service call to get the data back from server into flex.
Here is my problem:
I am getting array of java objects into flex application, when i try to convert the java object to actionscript object in flex, am getting the error as “TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Object@d68cd59 to com.mlfcst.actionscript.dto.CardEconVar.”
Here is the code:
……………………….
public function setEconVarDetails(event:ResultEvent):void
{
a_econVars= event.result as Array;
var econVar:CardEconVar = new CardEconVar();
econVar = CardEconVar(a_econVars[0]); —–> getting error here
}
Here is my AS file:
……………………….
package com.mlfcst.actionscript.dto
{
[RemoteClass(alias=com.mlfcst.flex.dto.CardEconVar)]
public class CardEconVar
{
public var cardEconVarId:int;
private var groupId:int;
}
}
Here is my java code:
……………………………..
package com.mlfcst.flex.dto;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class CardEconVar implements Serializable {
private int cardEconVarId;
private int groupId;
public CardEconVar() {
}
public int getCardEconVarId() {
return this.cardEconVarId;
}
public void setCardEconVarId(int cardEconVarId) {
this.cardEconVarId = cardEconVarId;
}
public int getGroupId() {
return this.groupId;
}
public void setGroupId(int groupId) {
this.groupId = groupId;
}
}
your help would be greatly appreciated..

Hi Sujit,
Thank you for the time and energy you put into your blog.
I have a simple issue: I’m building a Flex/AIR app and need to print generated independently of the application. I only need to point to them and print them. Should I pursue this with LiveCycle, Blaze or something else?
All the best,

Hi Sujith,
Is it necessary to install Flex Builder 3 Eclipse Plug-in to use BazeDS? I am not able to download above mentioned builder. But I have standalone version of Flex Builder 3.
Thnaks,
Dipak
Hi Dipak,
You need not have Flex Builder or Flex Builder Eclipse plugin to use BlazeDS. If you are having standalone version of Flex Builder that’s great and enough. BlazeDS is a server side software and will help Flex application to communicate with server side classes.
Hope this information helps.
Hi Sujit,
Thanks a lot for your quick reply. I have to develop one chat application for my application. Could you please help me how to proceed. I know flex basics but dont have any idea about client-server and BlazeDS. I am from different background(C++ and database) and flex is totally new for me.
Thanks and Regards,
Dipak
Hi Sujit,

Hi Dipak,
I am sorry, I got stuck with my work and so could not reply 😦
good to know that you got this working 🙂 I hope you are using Messaging feature of BlazeDS 🙂
Feel free to contact me 🙂
Hi Sujit,
Yes I have used Messaging feature of BlazeDS.
Can I use BlazeDS for file transfer (like images or text file) in my chat application? If yes can you help me please.

Hi,
I have a servlet at the moment. I want to integrate it with Flex UI. How can I pass my data from MXML to the servlet and then get the result back?
Pls help
Thanks,
Neha
Hi Evangelist! I m really proud to put my comments here..
It was fantastic job.. Keep it up man..
I m new to Flex… Can u guide me? What are the prerequisites I have to follow for getting into flex?
Hi Sabari,
If you are comfortable with any object oriented programming language, you can go ahead develop in Flex with a very small learning curve. Please visit the URL below for details.
Hope this helps.
hi Neha,
You can use HTTPService component and invoke the servlet. Please find more details on how to do that at the URLs below.

Hi Sujit
I’m working on a web site which will have a java enterprise application based backend and a flex 3 frontend. So far I’ve managed to get them to talk and things are going well. (Partly due to some of your excellent tutorials!) However I have run into a problem with sessions. What happing is that I have a EJB factory in the WEB tier of my J2EE application which looks up the EJBs in the business tier. The EJBs need store and retrieve stuff from the session, but when I try to instanciate a Flex session in the business tier, I just have a null returned.
This is how I’m instanciating the flex session object (in the business tier of the J2EE applicaion):
session = FlexContext.getFlexSession();
I’m not sure this is relevent (as its a HTTP session listener), but in the web.xml deployment descriptor I noticed this:
flex.messaging.HttpFlexSession
Thanks for your time in advance, you help is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Drayton
Hi Drayton,
That is how you have to get access to the session object. But I think this will return a valid session object only when the request is through BlazeDS. is your request through BlazeDS (MessageBrokerServlet)?
Hi Sujit, thanks for the response!
Well I’m not quite sure what you mean by is my request through BlazeDS. If you mean am I using a Flex destination to make a call, then yes it is through BlazeDS. But I do not make use of the ‘MessageBrokerServlet’ directly, there is a reference to it in my web.xml, but thats about it.
This is the Java method in my business tier of my application:
public String sayHello()
{
Date now = new Date();
session = FlexContext.getFlexSession();
return “Hello, I am ” + this.getClass().getName() +
“The time is: ” + now + “” +
(session != null
? “Your session id is:” + session.getId()
: “Your session object is NULL!”) +””;
}
When I call this method, I get the ‘Your session object is NULL!’ response.
Thanks once again for your help!
Hi Drayton,
Can you please check if the session listener is configured in web.xml under web-app tag as shown below.
flex.messaging.HttpFlexSession
Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.
Hi Sujit, thanks for opportunity 🙂
I have started exploring BlazeDS (Turnkey) and after I followed and understood a simple hello world remoting example, it became very confusing to me 😐
Locally everything runs fine in IE, but remotely its a living hell… it simply does not work in IE, but in Firefox its Ok.
I have tried the blazeds samples and they do work in IE, locally and remotely, but if I use my own java sql classes to retrieve data, it does not work, only in Firefox.
In IE the following error appears:
code:
Client.Error.DeliveryInDoubt
Message:
error
Detail:
Invalid URL url: ‘http://nofearp_2008:8400/xelfsystems/messagebroker/
amf’
It’s very frustrating 😦
I can’t see anything
related with this on the web, at least something that makes sense to me.
Thanks again Sujit, thanks
Hi Jorge,
Can you please try changing the nofearp_2008 to complete name with .com etc. something like nofear_2008.com
Looks like Firefox is resolving it to default domain, but IE is not.
Hope this helps.
Hi Sujit, thanks for the tip.
I’m going to create a virtual host in Tomcat in order to try what you are saying, or there is another way to try this?
I’m using a VMWARE virtual machine (nofearp_2008) with Server 2008 as server machine.
Thanks again Sujit
Hi Jorge,
Please try accessing any URL to a resource on the nofearp_2008 server from IE. See if IE is resolving the address properly.
Hope this helps.
Hi Sujit,
thanks for helping all developers.I am working in a tight dead line project where Flex in presentation layer interacts with BlazeDS using RMI. Again BlazeDS interacts with java/JDBC classes using RMI. I searched in so many places but couldnt get how to do. Please let me know what API of BlazeDS i have to use and please give me any samples which i can use for this. I have to deliver within 15 days these changes to investment bank. Can you please give us your email id?????????????

Hi Sujit,
I am using mx:Tree to show the data. Certain leaf node display the check box and certain radio button using the item renderer. First time tree is expanding properly. But when I am closing and opening it again, all the leaf nodes show overlapped radio button and check box.
Here is the code
updateDisplayList method is used to add the radio button and checkbox to leaf node.
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
if(super.data) {
super.label.text = TreeListData(super.listData).label;
var currentChoice:Choice = TreeListData(super.listData).item as Choice;
if(currentChoice!=null){
super.label.text = currentChoice.name;
super.label.x = 90;
if(currentChoice.multiSelect){
this.radio.selected = currentChoice.selected;
this.radio.enabled = currentChoice.enabled;
this.radio.y = 18;
this.radio.visible = true;
this.radio.x = super.label.x +10 ;
this.radio.name = super.label.text;
addChild(radio as DisplayObject);
}else{
this.check.selected = currentChoice.selected;
this.check.visible = true;
this.check.enabled = currentChoice.enabled;
this.check.y = 18;
this.check.x = super.label.x + 10;
this.check.name = super.label.text;
addChild(check as DisplayObject);
}
}
}
}
Hi Driti,
In Flex Builder create a new AIR based project and then copy the files in src folder of your old Flex project into the new AIR project created. Also copy the SWC files, if you have any.
Hope this helps.
Hi Driti,
Please try overriding the set data function also. If you are already using this, please send code to reproduce the issue to sujitreddy.g@gmail.com

I want to create a community website in flex using blazeds. Do i have to hire a dedicated server or it will work on the normal remote server. Is it possible that if 1000’s of user are using the site at the same time will not impact the performance or wait time to the user.
Also is it possible to make a chatting application possible on normal server. Is it possible that if 1000’s of user are using the chat at the same time will not impact the performance or wait time to the user.

I have not read much on your blog so far but wanted to ask you a quick question.I want to build a full application with left navs and top navs as well and of course things change when user click or take an action in the centeral pane which effect dynamically top and right navs.So what in you opinion is the best way to develop any such application.
Using just Flex or some framework like Carigorm or Mate is a good idea and the passing the information between pages via this show / hide mechanism or should i use jsp as a parent and then pass parameters to child swf files..basically what in your opinion is a good idea to build an enterprise like application.I plan to use springs and hibernate at the server side using blazeds.
Please suggest !

eg of my server how the data i have is
asdaasdsa.in.example.com/sql124324
username – asdasda
passsword – asdasda
There is a sql server which has all dataes currently we can query using excel by using connect to database, but i wanted to use flashbuilder to connect and display datas and graphs please please please help me in this atleast if u can redirect me where i can get the info i ll be much more happier…
Hi Suresh,
You have to create a Java class which will connect to your database and return the data. Once you have this class you can use Remoting to invoke the Java class developed to get the data from the database as explained in this URL https://sujitreddyg.wordpress.com/2008/01/14/invoking-java-methods-from-adobe-flex/
If you are using HTTPService then you should create a JSP/Servlet which will invoke the Java class created above and return the data as XML/JSON.
If you are using Flash Builder 4 try articles at this URL to access Remoting destinations and JSP/Servlet easily https://sujitreddyg.wordpress.com/flash-builder-4/
Hope this helps.

I am big fan of you and continously reading your blogs. I have developed a application which does the server push using BlazeDS. The application is pushing the messages to client when we browse the applocation from server where the flex application is deployed. But we have introduced a Clustering (Load Balance) server, which routes the request to the deployed servers. Using this Clustring server the client is not recieving the messages. Do you have any guidence to resolve this issue? Your answer will help me a lot.

Hi Seetha,
services-config.xml is used for defining configuring remoting/messaging/proxy/data management services, channels and lots more; which will be used by AMF libraries like BlazeDS/LCDS. remoting-config.xml/messaging-config.xml etc are actually being referred from services-config.xml. Instead of including all configurations in services-config.xml, its distributed in multiple files and referenced in services-config.xml.
flex-config.xml is used for configuring compiler options. Please find more details at the URL below.

It would be very helpful if you could answer my query or point to someone who could help me.
Thank You in advance.
My Problem:-
I am trying to build an application that would make movie ticket booking easy. But I am unable to pass the parameters from flex to the database to verify whether a field is true or not. I’ve attached the .MXML file. In the file after I click FIND the application should be able to verify the movie, date, show, tickets with the database and give back if they are available or not. Is this possible. Can multiple parameters be passed at once. If not is there any other approach that would make my work easier. I would be also thankful if you could send me the link to access the airport app you demoed.
Thank you once again.

Hi Sujith,
I am having a doubt regarding proxy-config.xml in lcds/blazeds.
My requirement is to get data from one REST webservice(url looks like:http://{localhost:portno}/context-root?number=5&division=first&userName=Username-1).
I did everything fine by calling and meanwhile in proxy-config.xml, i was hardcoded this url under tag.
Totally, i got the data displayed in datagrid.
But now as per requirement,(if you look at url,it consists of parameters “number”,”division”,”username”),
-> if we enter some integer value in textinput box,and after hitting the search button,depending upon the number we entered,corresponding number of rows to be displayed.
Now, My Problem is earlier i hardcoded the url in proxy-config.xml.But now proxy-config.xml has to get parameters from flex front end and also have to display accordingly.
Can you help me about this issue…
Thanks in advance for helping so….

I am building a Tree component which has checkbox in it. Well I will explain it clearly. Say myTree consists of Branches like US, India and Sub-branches like California,Washington and Delhi, Bangalore respectively. All the branches and sub-brances will have checkboxes beside them and all these are created dynamically using ArrayCollection.
Now my requirement is if the checkbox of main branch is checked, all the check boxes of sub-branches should be checked automatically. For Example: If the checkbox of US is checked, the checkboxes of sub-branches corresponding to US i.e., California and Washington should also be checked. And if we remove the checkbox of main branch, all the checkboxes corresponding to that branch should be removed.
And another condition is if the checkbox of one of the sub branches is clicked, other checks should disappear. For Example: If I click India, both Delhi and Bangalore will be checked. Now if I click on Bangalore, the check should be at Bangalore only. The checks at Delhi and India should disappear.
Can you help me in this respect.

Hi Sujit,
If there is a third party server communicating with action script objects to a Flex app client and I do not have access to the server and know nothing about the objects, other than what i can see on the wire using Firebug, is it possible to create a java client that can send and receive action script requests and responses to the server just as their own Flex app does?
I believe a starting point is to set WebService.useProxy = “true” since I do not have access to the third party’s server crossdomain.xml.
However, is there some introspection that can be used to reveal the object structures and commands that are needed to communicate ??
Hi, thank you for your articls about flex and java, it was wery helpfull for me!

Hi,
Thanks for you contributions as a Flex evangelist. We need more folks like you to keep Flex alive as an alternative to SilverLight. I’m not a big fan of Adobe’s developer support but you certainly are helping to fill the gap. Keep up the great postings.

Thanks and regards

Hi Sujit, Is it possible to call java class which has overloaded methods in it using blazeds.
Sujit,
We are using blaze 4 and weblogic 10.3
We are using 1 polling amf channel for all destinations (about 8). we do not have any netwrok bandwith crunch and have about 20 users using the system at peak.
The problem is channel disconnects.
one point worth mentioing is that one destination fetches message of size – 50kb every 10 seconds.
We see channel diconnects for over 7 minutes, following which we kill the client session, and request users to log back in.
The problem occurs mostly when most users login at once.
please note that the weblogic attains at peak 140MB of perm gen size – to give you an idea of the server side load. The max mem is set to 6g but on the whole the utilization is aboiut 2.5g.
Also please note note that we have set time to live for these destinations as about 2-3 mins only so that no unnessesary build up happens on server.
If you could please throw some light on this issue of polling amf disconnect it would be really helpful.
Hi Sujit,
we have an internal webservice developed in our company and i have connected that web service using flex and am able to get all the methods/operations from that service. but wen i try to get data from methods i get the following error msg while running the application
Security error accessing url
Unable to load WSDL. If currently online, please verify the URI and/or format of the WSDL (http://ispl30:8080/MGEMWS/MGEMWS?wsdl)
am not able to figure out what the problem is?
Hi Sujith,
I need to test my java services which uses Blazeds from Java. So for that I am using AMFConnection class. By invoking AMFConnection.call(method,param) is giving me the response properly but its throwing an exception only when my service method encounters a FlexContext.getFlexClient().
I can understand that Java AMF Client which uses AMFConnection cannot have multiple clients over a single interface. But I badly want to test all my services using AMFConnection and most of my services will have a FlexClient usage.
I also tried using SoapUI and tested my services which in turn uses the same AMFConnection but in groovy. SoapUI also throws the same null pointer exception.
Is there any way to trick the FlexClient and fill it and test my services fully… It will very nice if i can get a solution to test all my services which uses FlexClient from Java….
What I think is somewhere the FlexContext is getting primed with FlexClient so can i able to set seomthing on the static class. I might be wrong but just a wild guess….
Please help me to resolve this issue…
I build a chat application using blazeds+red5+flex.video chating works fine,bt text chatting work only in IE,it doesnt work in any other browser
Hello Sujit,
We have created a web conference application using LCDS developer version and FMS 3.5.
Now we have stuck with licensing issues of LCDS.
So can we shift the whole project to BlazeDS without any major code changes ?
Please this is very crucial for us.
At least give some hint or directions.
Thanks.
Hi Asha,
Try to add a debug point and check the data type of event.result. Hope this helps.
Hi Sid,
Yes, you can. But you will have difference in performance based on the services and channels used in your application. Please find details in the URL below.
If you are not using any features of LCDS, its very simple. Please find the feature difference between LCDS and BlazeDS in the URL below.
LCDS supports NIO based endpoints like RTMP, if you are using NIO based endpoints, you might have to change the same.
Hope this helps.
