Seondly, yes, I’ll have a Proxy class. First is a DataAccess class. This has all the Remoting logic, and ties in with the Model/ValueObjects passed in form the server (Java or PHP or .NET). It’ll generate events when it gets data back from the server. You MUST pick up the data from exposed public properties (getter/setters). Since the DataAccess knows how it’s really handled, it only exposes a generic type to the application in case something changes (switch from PHP to Java, or changed array to recordset). The Proxy class is merely a global class; global in that it’s the main Model in Flash terms, and this Proxy class implements your standard ‘login’, ‘getUserData’ etc. Whether or not those methods are actually implemented on the server doens’t matter. The point here is I can either call methods to update my data, or get responses. This Proxy class could also be your DataAccess class; depends on how tightly coupled you want things to be. In cases where FLash is merely displaying data, this is typically how I’ll do it because all I do is:

– get a RecordSet/DataSet from the server
– tie this model object to a View (say a DataGrid via the Controller)
– any time the data updates, it generates a model changed, which in turn updates the View (DataGrid)

This update can be triggered by a new RecordSet from the server, a DataAccess class actually generating the event, or the Controller calling it manually.

Hopefully you guys can help me with a question related to the above topic.

I would like to create a central class for all the remoting services.. Example: I have a service that returns a custom java object. This object my be needed in several places in the app. So I don’t want to create a connection and everything each time I need this data. If I place the service in its own class I’m having alot of trouble returning the result to the calling class. Any suggestions? Some people call this a service proxy. Thanks!

What problem are you trying to solve? If you can’t have the webservice return what you need, is it merely a client problem remembering context of the call? Like, ‘I need to know this call has this ID…’ type of deal? Is that why you want the result to have some data?

Prob. not the exact right place to post, but thought I’d try anyway, seeing as I need a higher brain source :)

Is there anyway to pass arguments into the onResult and onFault functions from a relayResponder? I know a resultEvent and faultEvent object get passed respectively, but what if you wanted to pass custom params to the functions as well?

e.g.

pc.responder = new RelayResponder2(this, getSome_Result(aNum, aVar2), gen_Fault());
