Ah, OK. Um, why are you using that constructor? As you say, it does
not take XML. Wishing won't make it so.
String theXML = context().request().stringFormValueForKey("NewOrder");
NSData xmlData = new NSData(theXML, "UTF-8"); // Or whatever
encoding you are using
// you might even be able to use request().formValueEncoding() for
the encoding
// I've never tried it.
CustomBar custBar = (CustomBar)xmlDecode.decodeRootObject(xmlData);
_that_ constructor matches what you have.

Have you used XMLDecoder much ? and if so, do you possibly have any
sample source code or explanation on how to properly use it. I have
been reading the API but I am a little confused with it. It seems
that there would be a straightforward method that would allow me to
pass in a string of XML and then parse each node as I would like.
It doesn't seem to be that straight-forward ??
Again, the big thing here is DECODING the xml back into WebObjects
so I can deal with it there.
thx..

I'm trying to send XML from Flash to my app and I am a bit
confused on the decoder. I constructed an XML file with similar
code in Flash:
data_lv = new LoadVars();
data_lv.NewOrder = _root.myXML;
data_lv.send("http://nateg5.local/cgi-bin/WebObjects/
TikiBarz.woa/-50088/wa/newOrder","_self");
Not at all sure what that does or if it is right or not...
and then I receive the XML with the Direct Action code below:
public WOActionResults newOrderAction() {
WOComponent nextPage = pageWithName("Main");
Add:
System.out.println("URL: " + request().uri());
String theXML = context().request().stringFormValueForKey
("NewOrder");
Add:
System.out.println("NewOrder XML: " + theXML);
WOXMLDecoder xmlDecode = WOXMLDecoder.decoder();
CustomBar custBar = (CustomBar)xmlDecode.decodeRootObject
(theXML);
System.out.println(custBar);
return nextPage;
}
i know I'm not doing that right. But I'm just confused as to how
to go about this. I get a malformed URL,
From where? Is there an exception? What is it? Which line is it
raised from?
Chuck
of course with that because I'm not passing in a URL. Can someone
help set me on the right path here. Below is the XML that is
getting sent (It'd be nice to use a mapping file but I believe
I'd like to just manually parse it for greater control):
<customizebar><step1><roofSelection>Spanish Tile</
roofSelection><frontPanalSelection>Galvinized Steel</
frontPanalSelection></step1><step2><CustomBarTop CustomName="Name

We have a technology demo application that works well with Flash
and WebObjects. We made it work by returning the data in XML.
You will probably have to use XMLHttpRequest to make it work as
you cannot reload the Flash without loosing the state.

Thanks for this, I will give this a try and see what happens.
The OpenLaszlo project looks VERY interesting.

Hi Nathan,
You could try making a direct action and call request
().formValueForKey and simply call it from flash
For example in flash (action script)
data_lv = new LoadVars();
data_lv.forumData = someXML;
data_lv.send("URL to directaction", "target window");
Then in your direct action:
String theXML = (String)request().formValueForKey("forumData");
You can also return XML databack to flash and then use action
script like
data_lv.sendAndLoad("URL to directaction", variable to load
returned data into);
Hope this helps.

Has anybody out there successfully deployed a solution that
integrates Flash with WebObjects ? I'm working on a project
right now that would benefit greatly if I could do just that.
I'm thinking about writing ActionScript that will either save
data to text files or send XML information to a Direct Action
which would then allow WebObjects to pick up the data the
Flash application is sending. Anybody had to deal with this ?
This would be an awesome combination !
Thanks,
Nathan
