i extendet the example so that you have full crud functionallity .
Its pretty funny if you see how easy it is to delete a Todo aswell :P

require ‘weborb/context’
require ‘rbconfig’

class TodoService

# getTodos for remoting
def getTodos
getTodoLists
end

def getDeleteTodos
return todos
getTodoLists
end
# toggleTodo for for remoting
def toggleTodo(id)
todoToToggle = Todo.find(id)
# set to true(1) if false(0) or vice versa (1 - 0 = 1, 1 - 1 = 0)
todoToToggle.done = 1 - todoToToggle.done
# if save send new data back to Flash
if todoToToggle.save
getTodoLists
end
end

def deleteTodo(id)
Todo.delete(id)
todoToDelete = Todo.find(id)
if todoToDelete.delete
getTodos
end
end
# toggleTodo for for remoting
def addTodo(title)
todoToAdd = Todo.new
todoToAdd.title = title
# if save send new data back to Flash
if todoToAdd.save
getTodoLists
end
end
# get the todo lists (used throughout)
def getTodoLists
# putting lists in a hash as we have two sets of data
todos = Hash.new
todos[”not_done”] = Todo.find(:all, :conditions => [”done LIKE ?”, false])
todos[”done”] = Todo.find(:all, :conditions => [”done LIKE ?”, true])
return todos
end

end

Has anyone had any experience with fixing something like this? There are people all over the midnightcoders forum with similar issues, and not many viable solutions. If anyone has insight, you might have an army of people indebted to you… :)

The error you’re getting is on the server side, all the Flash stuff ends up packaged in the SWF file. If it works locally then something on the remote server is different than your local version, this could be one of many things; a different version of Rails, a different ruby gem on the server (or a missing gem).

When I get problems like this I try to get weborb working on the server in a fresh Rails app just to make sure it’s not my code messing stuff up :)

Follow this example http://themidnightcoders.com/weborb/rubyonrails/gettingstarted.htm up until they say to check http://localhost:3000/examples/main.html , that’s the weborb test suite, if it runs in a clean rails app you know weborb can work on your server and the problem is in your code.

Hope that helps, good luck!

Thanks for this tutorial - I learned a great deal, and have things working great locally. I’m having the same problem as Mina, however - “I got a NoMethodError in WeborbController#index
and exactly, request.raw_post.each_byte {|byte| input.push byte } is the problem”, but only when I upload the interface through my hosting service (Dreamhost). could this be a server-side issue? I don’t know if there are server-side components in the Flash Remoting Components…

anyone else encounter this or try it on a 3rd party hosting service?

Thanks!

Yes I should change the font the code tags use, I’ve even had that problem when copying stuff from my own tutorials!

thanks,
Alastair

thnx alot for the very nice remoting tutorial i found out the solution myself :

in the case that you dont want to use the sourcefiles supplied @ the beginning of the tutorial and you copy and paste the Code out of the sourceview you need to replace the apostrophies in the .rb files maybee they are bitwise wrong from the css view :P

thnx alot m@

i am havin a Error too . In the Flash Ide i get the trace
“// remoting - getting todos” but nothing appears and the webrick is running ?.
Since i am using amfPhp Remoting alot i still stick to the mx Remoting Classes . But i already installed the new Remoting Components .
Does anybody knows why ??

please give me a hint

thanks for the Tutorial and the help upfront

( btw : why did you deleted my post before ? )
