ColdFusion Portlet Toolkit

From Adobe Labs

Table of contents [showhide]

[edit]

Overview

The ColdFusion Portlet Toolkit is a proof-of-concept library that allows you to use ColdFusion as a Portal Application within an IBM WebSphere Portal Server (WSPS version 5 and greater). A Portal Application can serve several different portlets. Every portlet you deploy will run inside the same ColdFusion Portal Application. This toolkit provides one concrete Portlet called CFCPortlet. This Portlet simply passes the requests on to the ColdFusion server. The ColdFusion then invokes CFC methods to render the Portlet, and to perform actions. You can deploy several instances of this Portlet on your Portal Server. The setting cfcName defines which CFC will be used to marshal the Portlet events.

The ColdFusion Portlet Toolkit is a proof-of-concept. As such, all items available in the toolkit are of experimental quality; we have released them "as is" under the Adobe Labs source license.

[edit]

Download and Installation

To use the ColdFusion Portlet Toolkit, follow these steps:

1. Download the ColdFusion Portlet Toolkit and see the Adobe Labs source license for terms of use.

Note: Your use of this site including software downloads, submission of comments, ideas, feature requests and techniques on this and other Adobe maintained forums, as well as Adobe’s rights to use such materials, is governed by the Terms of Use.

2. Unzip the Portlet toolkit to a directory on your server, for instance c:\cfportlet\.

3. Follow the detailed installation instructions at Portlet Toolkit Directory\docs\admin-guide\index.html

[edit]

Documentation

The ColdFusion Portlet Developers Guide will be installed at Portlet Toolkit Directory\docs\cf-dev-guide\index.html. Items covered in this guide are:

• Portlet Overview
• Your First Portlet
• Building a Simple Portlet
• ColdFusion Portlet Reference
• Converting Existing Code to Portlets
• Known Issues
• WebSphere API vs JSR-168

[edit]

Known Issues

There are a few known limitations in the current version with the following features:

• DateFormat

The DateFormat function does not work from within a Portlet. Workaround: Use the LSDateFormat function instead.

• TimeFormat

The TimeFormat function does not work from within a Portlet. Workaround: Use the LSTimeFormat function instead.

• SetLocale

The SetLocale function does not work from inside a Portlet. No workaround is available.

• CFFORM

The CFFORM tag with format="flash" does not work inside the Portlet context. No workaround is available.

• CFCHART

The CFCHART tag with labelformat="currency" may display the generic currency symbol ¤ by default instead of a $. Workaround: The default locale setting on WebSphere is en (English) with no country setting. To deal with this simply set the default locale to en-US. For Example:

You can also set the default locale using a JVM startup argument.

Edit MS Flex Grid in Two Ways

Note: This is an unedited contribution. If this article is inappropriate, needs attention or copies someone else's work without reference then please Report This Article

• Download FlexGridEdit - 752.1 KB

Introduction

Hi all!

This is my second article on Code Project. This is about how to edit MS Flex Grid. I was using TextBox and ComboBox to edit flex grid at run time, for that I had to add reference of Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility and some complex coding to move TextBox or ComboBox on grid. But this is good idea if some one wants to edit grid with some predefined itemsusing ComboBox.

But if you want to text than there is a simple way to do this; that is the use of Text property of MS Flex Grid Control.

Using the code

To edit MS Flex Grid without using TextBox we have to use .Text property and KeyPressEvent of MS Flex Grid Control.

 
Private Sub AxMSFlexGrid1_KeyPressEvent(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxMSFlexGridLib.DMSFlexGridEvents_KeyPressEvent) Handles AxMSFlexGrid1.KeyPressEvent

   Select Case e.keyAscii

   Case 30 To 136

       AxMSFlexGrid1.Text += Chr(e.keyAscii)

   Case 8

       If AxMSFlexGrid1.Text <> "" Then AxMSFlexGrid1.Text = Mid(AxMSFlexGrid1.Text, 1, Len(AxMSFlexGrid1.Text) - 1)

   Case 13 And AxMSFlexGrid1.Col <> 2

       AxMSFlexGrid1.Col = 2

   Case 13 And AxMSFlexGrid1.Col = 2

       AxMSFlexGrid1.Rows = AxMSFlexGrid1.Rows + 1

       AxMSFlexGrid1.Col = 1

       AxMSFlexGrid1.Row = AxMSFlexGrid1.Row + 1

   End Select

End Sub               

In second techinque I have used a function name moveTextBox to move TextBox at appropriate posiotion and to sent enter text in Grid I have used .Textproperty of Grid control.

 
 Private Sub moveTextBox()
       TxtEntry.Visible = True
       TxtEntry.Left = VB6.TwipsToPixelsX(AxMSFlexGrid2.CellLeft + VB6.TwipsToPixelsX(AxMSFlexGrid2.Left)) + 17
       TxtEntry.Top = VB6.TwipsToPixelsY(AxMSFlexGrid2.CellTop + VB6.TwipsToPixelsY(AxMSFlexGrid2.Top)) + AxMSFlexGrid2.Top
       TxtEntry.Width = VB6.TwipsToPixelsX(AxMSFlexGrid2.CellWidth)
       TxtEntry.Height = VB6.TwipsToPixelsY(AxMSFlexGrid2.CellHeight)
       TxtEntry.BringToFront()
       TxtEntry.Focus()
 End Sub

On TextBox's KeyDown event I have assigned TextBox's .Text property to Flex Grid's .Text property

 
Private Sub TxtEntry_KeyDownEvent(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TxtEntry.KeyDown
       If AxMSFlexGrid2.Col = 1 Then
           If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
               AxMSFlexGrid2.Text = TxtEntry.Text
               TxtEntry.Clear()
               AxMSFlexGrid2.Col = 2
           End If
       End If
End Sub

On EnterCell event of Grid Control I have called this function.

Private Sub AxMSFlexGrid2_EnterCell(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AxMSFlexGrid2.EnterCell
       If AxMSFlexGrid2.Col = 2 Then
           Call moveCombo()
           If AxMSFlexGrid2.get_TextMatrix(AxMSFlexGrid2.Row, 2) <> "" Then
               CmbEntry.Text = AxMSFlexGrid2.get_TextMatrix(AxMSFlexGrid2.Row, 2).ToString
           Else
               CmbEntry.Text = ""
           End If
       Else
           CmbEntry.Visible = False
       End If
       If AxMSFlexGrid2.Col = 1 Then
           Call moveTextBox()
           If AxMSFlexGrid2.get_TextMatrix(AxMSFlexGrid2.Row, 1) <> "" Then
               TxtEntry.Text = AxMSFlexGrid2.get_TextMatrix(AxMSFlexGrid2.Row, 1).ToString
           Else
               TxtEntry.Clear()
           End If
       Else
           TxtEntry.Visible = False
       End If
 End Sub

Thanx And Happy Coding..

AIR Badge

From Adobe Labs

Additional Seamless Install Badge with new look and feel

Last update: 2/25/2008

Overview

We have been working hard to create an additional seamless install badge sample for launch. Actually, Grant Skinner (gskinner.com) developed this sample badge for us so that it would be available in time for launch. The badge is "BETA QUALITY", so you may discover bugs. Please report any bugs. You can report bugs at Adobe AIR wishlist or on the Adobe AIR forums. We may post updates to this badge sample on this wiki periodically based on feedback.

This sample badge has a new look and feel with additional detection logic and leverages AIR's "launch now" capability.

You should consider using this sample badge if:

1. Want a new look and feel (it looks cool!)
2. Intend to continue distributing a beta 3 application until you port to AIR 1.0. (Logic handles these situations much more gracefully)
3. Want to leverage the application detection and "launch now" feature
4. Want a simple way to upgrade end users to correct Flash Player version using express install
5. Want to provide "help" links

Download

Download Install Badge (113 KB)

Features and Capabilities

1. Leverages SWFObject to upgrade end-user to supported Flash Player version (Version: 9,0,115,0). Badge installer uses SWFObject embed method by Geoff Stearns. Developers can disable this feature.
   • Flash Player detection:
     • If Flash Player is not installed, text and Flash Player download center links are displayed to end-user. End user must install the Flash Player manually
     • If unsupported Flash Player version is installed (Flash Player 7, Flash Player 8, or pre Flash Player 9,0,115,0) , end-user prompted to upgrade the Flash Player inline via the Express Install feature. Upon successful upgrade the install badge is displayed.
2. Additional detection logic to handle Beta 3 application deployments when end-user has Adobe AIR 1.0 installed. Please see list below for expected behaviors
   • 'Handling for Beta 3 based applications'
     • If application requires Adobe AIR Beta 3 and no Adobe AIR runtime is installed, badge will install Adobe AIR Beta 3 runtime plus application.
     • If application requires Adobe AIR Beta 3 and Adobe AIR Beta 3 is the only installed runtime, badge will install the application only.
     • If application requires Adobe AIR Beta 3 and Adobe AIR 1.0 is installed, badge will display download links requesting end-users to download the Adobe AIR Beta 3 runtime and application manually. The Adobe AIR 1.0 runtime does not support downloading or installing Beta versions.
   • 'Handling of AIR 1.0 based applications
     • 'If application requires Adobe AIR 1.0 and no Adobe AIR runtime is installed, badge will install Adobe AIR 1.0 runtime plus application.
     • If application requires Adobe AIR 1.0 and Adobe AIR 1.0 runtime is installed, badge will install the application only.
     • If application requires Adobe AIR 1.0 and Adobe AIR Beta 3 is installed, badge will install the Adobe AIR 1.0 runtime plus application
3. Includes capabilities to detect and launch ("launch now") installed applications. Note: Application must have opted-in to be detected and launched. Pleas see Adobe AIR documentation for details on how to make your application detectable.
4. Provides customizable "help" text and links. This allows end users who encounter problems installing the application to get more information
5. Customizable text display

Please see the "Getting Started Guide" for features, parameters, documentation. All necessary files including the source code can be found in the .zip file.

Simple Flex Tutorial

I've been learning Flex for a presentation at my local CFUG, and I'm actually quite impressed with how much you can do with so little code.

However, most of the Flex tutorials I have found are very long and over simplified, so I've created a simple blog reader in 23 lines of MXML code to use as a tutorial. Here's what our Flex Application will look like:

How does the example work?

When you click the Load Blog Entries button my RSS feed entries are loaded into the datagrid. When you click on a row in the datagrid the corresponding entry is loaded into the text area.

Step 1 - XML and Application declaration

Start your XML file with a XML declaration, and an mx:Application tag:

Step 2 - Define your HTTPService

Our first step is to define the HTTPService that we will use to connect to my RSS feed. We will give an id of httpRSS so we can refer back to it.

Step 3 - Enclose your controls within a panel

A panel is simply a container to put controls (the DataGrid, TextArea, and Button) into. We are going to set some attributes on the panel as well, it should be pretty easy to figure out what they mean:

Step 4 - Define your DataGrid

We are using the DataGrid component to display the list of blog entries in my RSS feed, along with their date.

This step is probably the most complicated step because we have to bind our RSS xml data to the datagrid, and define an event handler when the rows are clicked.

In the attributes of the DataGrid we are using dynamic variables or expressions denoted by the curly braces {variable}.

Ok so there is a lot going on there, first so I'll break it down a bit:

width

We are setting the width dynamically based on the size of its parent panel reader, specifically we set it to be 15 pixels narrower than its panel.

dataProvider

In the dataProvider attribute we are binding the data for this grid to the result of our HTTPService named httpRSS. More specifically we want to bind each item tag in our XML file to a row in the datagrid. Since the item tags are inside the rss and channel tags we refer to it the array of items as httpRSS.result.rss.channel.item.

cellPress

Next we want to create an event handler that will display the contents of the description tag inside the item that is clicked on. Using the variable entries.selectedIndex we know which item was clicked on, and we can refer to the description (the entry body) of that item as: httpRSS.result.rss.channel.item[entries.selectedIndex].description.

Now we just need to set the value of our TextArea which we will define in the next step to the rss item description, so we simply assign that value to the htmlText property of the TextArea (whose name will be body).

columns

Now we need to define which columns we are to display in the datagrid. The columnName must match the tag name that we want it to correspond to.

Step 5 - Define the TextArea

Use the mx:TextArea tag to define the text area where the entry body will go:

Step 6 - Create a Button

Our last control to define is a Button which will simply tell the HTTPService to make the request.

In the click event handler we call the send() method on our HTTPService object.

Step 7 - Close Panel and Application

Simply close some tags, and your done!

One Caveat

Flex 1.5 uses a proxy to invoke HTTPService calls, and other remote service calls, and for security reasons the proxy will block the HTTP call. You add the RSS feed url (or simply http://*) to the proxy whitelist in your flex-config.xml. See this KB article for more info.

Adobe to Open Source Flex

On April 26, Adobe announced strategic plans to move the development of Flex to an open source model.

• Adobe to Open Source Flex (press release on Adobe.com)

Overview

Adobe is announcing plans to open source Flex under the Mozilla Public License (MPL). This includes not only the source to the ActionScript components from the Flex SDK, which have been available in source code form with the SDK since Flex 2 was released, but also includes the Java source code for the ActionScript and MXML compilers, the ActionScript debugger and the core ActionScript libraries from the SDK. The Flex SDK includes all of the components needed to create Flex applications that run in any browser - on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux and on now on the desktop using “Apollo”.

Developers can use the Flex SDK to freely develop and deploy Flex applications using either Adobe Flex Builder or an IDE of their choice.

License

The source code for the Flex SDK will be available under the Mozilla Public License (MPL). The MPL will allow full and free access to the source code, allowing developers to download, extend, and contribute to the source code for the Flex compiler and framework classes. The Flex SDK will also be available under a commercial Adobe license. Offering a choice of licenses serves the needs of enterprise Flex customers and partners.

Mozilla Public License FAQ: http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/mpl-faq.html

The annotated Mozilla Public License (explained in layman’s terms) http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/MPL-1.1-annotated.html

Schedule

The source code for the Flex framework is already available within the free distribution of the current Flex 2 SDK. By this summer, Adobe plans to put in place most of the infrastructure (public bug database and public daily builds) required to run the Flex SDK as an open source project. We expect to complete the transition to a fully open source project (source code for the compiler, infrastructure for community contributions, etc.) by early 2008.

Currently Supported Platforms

• Windows XP, Server 2003, or Windows Vista Professional/Ultimate with Java 1.4 (Sun, IBM, or BEA) or 1.5 (Sun)
• Mac OS X 10.4.x, Java 1.5 (as shipped from Apple) on PowerPC and Intel processor
• Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 or 4, Suse 10, Java 1.4 (Sun, IBM, or BEA) or 1.5 (Sun)
• Solaris 9, 10, Java 1.4 or 1.5 (Sun) Compilers only

More Information and FAQ

This FAQ will provide all the details and hopefully answer all your questions.

• Flex Open Source FAQ
• David Wadhwani, VP of Flex Engineering and Ely Greenfield, Flex Architect discuss the Flex Open source announcement with Robert Scoble of PodTech.

Mono offers open-source spin on Silverlight

The Novell-led Mono project this week made the first, though incomplete, public release of Moonlight, an open-source implementation of Microsoft's Silverlight, a browser plug-in that competes with products such as Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, Adobe Shockwave, JavaFX, and Apple QuickTime.

The project has received Microsoft backing as part of a controversial 2006 intellectual-property arrangement between Novell and Microsoft.

Mono, directed by Novell employee Miguel de Icaza, is aiming to create an open-source, cross-platform set of tools compatible with Microsoft's .Net programming framework.

Moonlight is the project's upcoming implementation of Silverlight, a plug-in first introduced in September 2007, which supports rich Internet media such as animation, vector graphics, and audio-video playback. (CNET News.com's Martin LaMonica got the early word on Moonlight last month.)

Silverlight supports Windows and Mac OS X, and Microsoft has planned support for mobile devices, but the software does not support Linux operating systems.

Moonlight supports the Silverlight 1.0 profile for Linux, de Icaza said in a blog post Tuesday.

Users can install a downloadable version for Mozilla Firefox on Linux that does not include media codec support, or can compile the software from source code, de Icaza said. Firefox 2 and 3 are supported, he said.

The release is not yet feature-complete, and is intended for developers who want to contribute to the project, according to de Icaza. Missing features include components in media codecs and the media pipeline. The release also features about 70 known bugs, he said.

There are also some problems with recent changes to Firefox 3 that stop Moonlight from working and which require a workaround, de Icaza said.

The release supports "windowless" mode, which allows Silverlight content to blend with other HTML elements on a page, but this is supported only in Firefox 3, according to de Icaza.

The final version of Moonlight is to use audio and video codecs provided by Microsoft, as part of a wide-reaching and controversial intellectual-property deal between the software giant and Novell in late 2006.

The support of proprietary media codecs, such as those used in Silverlight, has caused some controversy within the open-source world, with Tristan Nitot, the founder of Mozilla Europe, recently warning that companies building Web sites should beware of proprietary rich-media technologies like Silverlight and Adobe's Flash.

Matthew Broersma of ZDNet UK reported from London.
