I want to make sure the end user has a version of Java installed the is compatible with the Jar I ship with my AIR app. To do so I use the following (pseudo) code below:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. var args:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
  2. args.push("-fullversion");
  3.  
  4. var info:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
  5. info.executable = javaLocation;
  6. info.arguments = args;
  7.  
  8. javaProcess = new NativeProcess();
  9. javaProcess.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, versionOutputHandler);
  10. // Fun fact: -fullversion output is considered error data! :s
  11. javaProcess.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_DATA, versionOutputHandler);
  12. javaProcess.addEventListener(NativeProcessExitEvent.EXIT, versionExitHandler);
  13. javaProcess.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_IO_ERROR, versionErrorHandler);
  14. javaProcess.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_IO_ERROR, versionErrorHandler);
  15. javaProcess.start(info);

To my surprise the result of the call to "java -fullversion" is send to the standard error stream and thus triggering the ProgressEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_DATA to be fired.

Flex FTP doesn't support this so I added some functionality to be able to send an abort.

First I added the Abort command to the Commands class:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. public static const ABOR:String = "ABOR";

After that I added a new invoker to the invokers package, AbortInv.

The FTPInvoker class required a new public method to support the Abort command, which can be overridden by the specific implementations. In FTPInvoker I added an abort method like this:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. /**
  2. * Stops this Invoker from executing.
  3. */
  4. public function abort():void {
  5. // Some Invokers just don't need to do anything.
  6. finalize();
  7. }

There was only one invoker where I had to override the abort method to get things working correctly and that was the UploadInv class. Here I added the following code:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. /**
  2. * @inheritDoc
  3. */
  4. override public function abort():void {
  5. super.abort();
  6.  
  7. if(interval) clearInterval(interval);
  8. if(sourceFile) sourceFile.close();
  9. if(passiveSocket && passiveSocket.connected) passiveSocket.close();
  10. }

After that it was a matter of updating the FTPClient class with an abort method to get the circle complete.

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. /**
  2. * Aborts the previous FTP command.
  3. */
  4. public function abort():void {
  5. if(currentProcess) {
  6. if(currentProcess is UploadInv) {
  7. swallowNextResponse = true;
  8. }
  9. currentProcess.abort();
  10. currentProcess = null;
  11. }
  12.  
  13. invoke( new AbortInv(this) );
  14. }

Unfortunately I also had to update handleData method in the FTPClient class a little bit, because aborting an upload would result into 2 (or more) resonses at once from the FTP server.
My handleData method now looks like this:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. private function handleData (pEvt:ProgressEvent):void
  2. {
  3. processing = false;
  4. var response:String = ctrlSocket.readUTFBytes(ctrlSocket.bytesAvailable);
  5. var responseList:Array = response.split("\n");
  6. // Apparently we always get a linebreak with a response...
  7. responseList.pop();
  8.  
  9. var eventList:Array = new Array();
  10. var evt:FTPEvent;
  11. for(var i:int = 0; i <responseList.length; i++) {
  12. evt = new FTPEvent(FTPEvent.RESPONSE);
  13. evt.response = FTPResponse.parseResponse(responseList[i]);
  14. eventList.push(evt);
  15. if (FTPClient.DEBUG) trace("->" + evt.response.code+" "+evt.response.message);
  16. }
  17.  
  18. if(swallowNextResponse) {
  19. if (FTPClient.DEBUG) trace(" - ignoring this response...");
  20. swallowNextResponse = false;
  21. responseList.shift();
  22. }
  23.  
  24. if(responseList.length> 0) {
  25. for(var k:int = 0; k <responseList.length; k++) {
  26. dispatchEvent(eventList[k]);
  27. }
  28. }
  29. }

To verify that an upload has succeeded, I created a hash (md5) of the entire file and sent that to the backend for verification. The AS3CoreLib contains a nice MD5 class, MD5Stream, but it's much too slow for creating a checksum of files.

Actually, it's so slow that when I was uploading a 5+ MB file the application would slow down so much that the upload speed dropped to a third of the speed without feeding the MD5Stream data during uploading.
Luckily, with AIR 2.0 NativeProcess has been introduced, it made it much easier to "outsource" complicated calculation to a process that can deal with that much better, i.e. Java.

The nice thing about Java is that it's cross-platform just as AIR, and these days many people will have the JRE installed.  So first of all, I wrote a small Java class that would print out an MD5 hash of a file based on the path that I passed. I jarred the class and added it to my AIR project.
The second step was to call my Java class instead of the AS3 MD5Stream class. This is surprisingly easy. The NativeProcess documentation comes with a pretty clear example and Piotr Walczyszyn has created a small framework, Flerry, to let Flex talk to Java and vice versa.

Looking at how Flerry is built will give you some more insight on how to deal with NativeProcess.
For my application, I only use the BaseStartupInfoProvider class from Flerry to find where Java is installed on the user's machine. After that I set up all event listeners as per the NativeProcess documentation and call NativeProcess.start() with a NativeProcessStartupInfo as passed in parameter.
Now my uploads are fast again and I can generate a checksum in a fraction of the time I could before.

There are unfortunately some downsides to this approach. You have to deploy your AIR application as native installer to be able to use the NativeProcess class. So instead of having one AIR file, you'll end up with four native installers (.exe, .dmg, .deb, .rpm). On the plus side, you can create the native installers from an AIR file without needing to resign the application.
Another downside is that now I'm relying on two runtimes being installed on the end user's machine, AIR and Java.
My final thought is that now that I am outsourcing some calculations to Java, why not built the whole thing in Java? Then again, building a decent UI can take ages using Java. To me, my application feels like I'm creating a bit of a Frankenstein.

All in all I'm glad I now have a fast way to generate a checksum and my uploads aren't slowed down by it any more.

EPSV is roughly the same as PASV, exect that you only get a port number to connect to back and not an IP address. You can read up on RFC 2428 "FTP Extensions for IPv6 and NATs" if you want more details.

The first thing I did to add support for EPSV in Flex FTP is adding a response to the Responses class.

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. public static const ENTERING_EPSV:int = 229; //Entering Extended Passive Mode.

Second was the commands class, where I added the following line:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. public static const EPSV:String = "EPSV";

Then I added an extra argument to the FTPClient class' constructor that will indicate whether or not to use ESPV.

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. public function FTPClient (host:String="", port:int=21, useEpsv:Boolean = false)

I store the value internally and use a getter method to determine if an Invoker class (i.e ListInv) needs to use EPSV.

Based on the client epsv setting any invoker can be updated to send the EPSV command instead of the PASV command when needed, i.e. my implementation of ListInv's startSequence method:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. override protected function startSequence ():void {
  2. if(client.useEpsv) {
  3. sendCommand(new FTPCommand(Commands.EPSV));
  4. } else {
  5. sendCommand(new FTPCommand(Commands.PASV));
  6. }
  7. }

I also update the responseHandler method in ListInv to include the following case:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. case Responses.ENTERING_EPSV:
  2. passiveSocket =    PassiveSocketInfo.createPassiveSocket(evt.response.message,
  3. handlePassiveConnect,
  4. handleListing, ioErrorHandler,
  5. null, true, client.hostname);
  6. break;

On top of that I made some tweaks to the PassiveSocketInfo class.
The parseFromResponse method now looks like this:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. public static function parseFromResponse (pasvResponse:String, usingEpsv:Boolean = false, hostName:String = ""):PassiveSocketInfo {
  2. var host:String;
  3. var port:int;
  4.  
  5. if (usingEpsv) {
  6. host = hostName;
  7. port = pasvResponse.match(/\d+/)[0];
  8. } else {
  9. var match:Array = pasvResponse.match(/(\d{1,3},){5}\d{1,3}/);
  10. if (match == null)
  11. throw new Error("Error parsing passive port! (Response: "+pasvResponse+")");
  12. var data:Array = match[0].split(",");
  13. host = data.slice(0,4).join(".");
  14. port = parseInt(data[4])*256+parseInt(data[5]);
  15. }
  16. return new PassiveSocketInfo(host, port);
  17. }

The createPassiveSocket method now takes two extra optional arguments (usingEpsv:Boolean and host:String) and just passes those on to the parseFromResponse method.

Hope this helps anybody looking for EPSV support for Flex FTP.

PS: It's been a while since I added EPSV support, so let me know about any gaps.

I had a quick look through the code on how the other FTP actions were implemented. Being surprised with the nice setup of the code I had quite easily added the "make directory" action and got it working properly. You can download my MakeDirInv class here: http://ansuz.nl/toys/randomcode/MakeDirInv.as
All you need to do after that is patch the FTPClient class by adding the following method.

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
  1. /**
  2. * Creates a directory on the remote host.
  3. *
  4. * @param newDirName The name of the new directory to create.
  5. * @param parentDir (Optional) The directory to create the new directory in.
  6. */
  7. public function makeDir(newDirName:String, parentDir:String = "/"):void {
  8. trace("FTPClient.makeDir(newDirName, parentDir)");
  9. invoke(new MakeDirInv(this, newDirName, parentDir));
  10. }

Once you've done that, you're ready to create directories on the FTP server you're connected to, see the example below.

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
  1. ftpClient.addEventListener(FTPEvent.CREATE_DIR, dirCreatedHandler);
  2. ftpClient.makeDir("myNewDir", "/someSubDir/");

PS: This isn't fully tested yet, so do let me know if you find some bugs.

Very useful when your Flash is on a layer in HTML that could be covered by something else when you're scrolling the page.

Flex IRC Client aims to be a Flex / Flash based IRC Client. Currently most browser-based chat solutions are either proprietary or applets. Flex IRC Client wants to bring the power of IRC to the majority of the Internet-users without requiring a download or an install.

I know this client is still under development, but it could really do with a window showing some progress when connecting to a server. Also, a proxy of sorts would be nice since I get a lot of Security Errors when trying to connect to a server: "SecurityErrorEvent type="securityError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://ansuz.nl/toys/irc/FlexIRCClient.swf cannot load data from irc.efnet.nl:6667."", probably due to no cross-domain policies being set on the IRC servers. Connecting works when running this locally ;)

I've compiled a list of some of the frameworks I've found. I'm sure I've missed a couple of other good ones, if you know of one, please let me know. :)

Gaia
A framework package as a Flash component. Handy for designers, but it kinda made me shrug... Though reading through the docs a couple of interesting features showed through, like the generation of the navigation through the context menu.

Cairngorm
Used this framework / micro architecture a lot already. Nice Event-Command pairs as well as delegates for calling all (web)services.
Link: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cairngorm/Cairngorm

PureMVC
I've been working with a PureMVC project lately and looked at it before, quite similar in some ways to Cairngorm, just different names. ;)
A nice resource for pureMVC: http://puremvc.tv/

Swiz

Swiz is a framework for Adobe Flex that aims to bring complete simplicity to RIA development. Swiz provides Inversion of Control, event handing, and simple life cycle for asynchronous remote methods.

Link: http://code.google.com/p/swizframework/

Dawn

Dawn is a lightweight framework for ActionScript inspired by Google Guice. In addition to Dependency Injection, it provides type safe notifications and helps you to build apps which are loosely coupled, easily unit tested, and less error-prone.

Link: http://wiki.github.com/sammyt/dawn

Mate

Mate is a tag-based, event-driven Flex framework.

Mate framework has been created to make it easy to handle the events your Flex application creates. Mate allows you to define who is handling those events, whether data needs to be retrieved from the server, or other events need to be triggered.

In addition, Mate provides a mechanism for dependency injection to make it easy for the different parts of your application to get the data and objects they need.

Encyclopédie, ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers (English: Encyclopedia, or a systematic dictionary of the sciences, arts, and crafts) was a general encyclopedia published in France between 1751 and 1772, with later supplements and revisions in 1772, 1777 and 1780 and numerous foreign editions and later derivatives.
