基于BlazeDS的Java与Flex的通信

1.  安装环境：eclipse, tomcat插件, tomcat, blazeds.war。用于部署基于blazeds的项目。

2.  将blazeds.war 文件导入eclipse，并输入项目名称。

3.  建立Server端的Java对象，用于完成服务器端的数据和逻辑操作。本例简单构建了一个EmployeeHelper的类用于返回所有雇员的基本信息，并可以根据客户端的查询请求返回某些雇员的详细信息。Java类写在上面导入的工程中的src目录下。

EmployeeHelper.java:

package com.qilin.hammer.blazeds;

import java.util.*;

public class EmployeeHelper {
	
	private String getPhone(){
		Random r = new Random(47);
		String phone="";
		for(int i=0;i<11;i++)
			phone+=String.valueOf(Math.abs(r.nextInt())%10);
		return phone;
	}
	
	/**
	 * Get all the employees basic info
	 * @return
	 */
	public List<Employee> getEmployees(){
		List<Employee> employees = new ArrayList<Employee>();
		employees.add(new Employee("hammer",25,"male","engineer"));
		employees.add(new Employee("jenny",23,"female","engineer"));
		employees.add(new Employee("jacky",27,"male","engineer"));
		employees.add(new Employee("tracy",28,"female","manager"));
		//System.out.println((ArrayList<Employee>)employees);
		return employees;
	}
	
	/**
	 * Use map to transfer the anytype object.
	 * Get the detail info of employees queried.
	 * @param employees
	 * @return
	 */
	public ArrayList<EmployeeDetail> getDetails(List<Map<String, Object>> employees){
		System.out.println(employees);
		ArrayList<EmployeeDetail> result = new ArrayList<EmployeeDetail>();
		for(Map<String, Object> map:employees){
			String name = (String)map.get("name");
			int age = (Integer)map.get("age");
			String sex = (String)map.get("sexual");
			String position = (String)map.get("position");
			result.add(new EmployeeDetail(name, age, sex, position, name+"@gmail.com", getPhone(), name+"'s address"));		
		} 
		return result;
	}

}

EmployeeDetail.java:

package com.qilin.hammer.blazeds;
import java.io.Serializable;

public class EmployeeDetail implements Serializable{
	/**
	 * 
	 */
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	private String name;
	private int age;
	private String sexual;
	private String position;
	
	//For detail
	private String email = "";
	private String phone = "";
	private String address = "";
	
	public EmployeeDetail(){}

	public EmployeeDetail(String name, int age, String sex, String position, String email, String phone, String address){
		this.name = name;
		this.age = age;
		this.sexual =sex; 
		this.position = position;
		this.email = email;
		this.phone = phone;
		this.address = address;
	}
	
	public void setName(String name){
		this.name=name;
	}
	
	public String getName(){
		return this.name;
	}

	public void setAge(int age){
		this.age=age;
	}
	
	public int getAge(){
		return this.age;
	}
	
	public void setSexual(String sex){
		this.sexual=sex;
	}
	
	public String getSexual(){
		return this.sexual;
	}
	
	public void setPosition(String position){
		this.position=position;
	}

	public String getPosition(){
		return this.position;
	}
	
	public void setEmail(String email){
		this.email = email;
	}
	
	public String getEmail(){
		return this.email;
	}
	
	public void setPhone(String phone){
		this.phone = phone;
	}
	
	public String getPhone(){
		return this.phone;
	}
	
	public void setAddress(String adr){
		this.address = adr;
	}
	
	public String getAddress(){
		return this.address;
	}
		
}

Employee.java:

package com.qilin.hammer.blazeds;
import java.io.Serializable;

public class Employee implements Serializable{

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	private String name;
	private int age;
	private String sexual; 
	private String position;
	
	
	public Employee(String name, int age, String sex, String position){
		this.name = name;
		this.age = age;
		this.sexual =sex;
		this.position = position;
	}	
	
	public void setName(String name){
		this.name=name;
	}
	
	public String getName(){
		return this.name;
	}

	public void setAge(int age){
		this.age=age;
	}
	
	public int getAge(){
		return this.age;
	}
	
	public void setSexual(String sex){
		this.sexual=sex;
	}
	
	public String getSexual(){
		return this.sexual;
	}
	
	public void setPosition(String position){
		this.position=position;
	}

	public String getPosition(){
		return this.position;
	}

		
}

4.  配置flex/remoting-config.xml，指定EmployeeHelper类的位置。

remoting-config.xml:

    <destinationid="employeehelper">

        <properties>

                   <source>com.qilin.hammer.blazeds.EmployeeHelper</source>

        </properties>

    </destination>

5.  将项目export为war文件，直接部署到tomcat的webapp下并启动tomcat。

6.  打开Flex builder新建一个Flex project，命名为BlazedsClient。基本功能如下：

    （1） 使用remoteobject组件调用Server端的Java方法getEmployees()去获取所有雇员的基本信息并显示在datagrid中。该方法返回类型为collection，与flex端的  arraycollection相映射，从而可以将返回结果直接作为datagrid的dataprovider。

    （2） 通过同样的方法调用Server端的getDetails(list<map>)方法去获取指定雇员（们）的详细信息并显示在datagrid中。该方法的形参类型为collection，用于接收flex中的arraycollection实参，返回类型同样为collection，但在flex端通过对象绑定进行了转换，从而直接得到一个actionscript对象，当然也可以省去这一步而直接将返回结果作为dataprovider。有一个疑问是：我在java中用了map来与flex中的object进行映射，我不知道有没有更加直接的方法。为了从flex传一个自定义的对象类型employee到java，如果简单地在java中用list<employee>来接受flex中employee对象的arraycollection，却不能成功。但有意思的是，从java返回的employeedetail类型的对象却直接可以通过对象绑定转换为as中的相应自定义对象employeedetail，却不需要返回一个map来与flex中的object进行映射。

EmployeeDetail.as:

package com.qilin.hammer.blazeds
{
	[Bindable]
	[RemoteClass(alias="com.qilin.hammer.blazeds.EmployeeDetail")]
	
	public class EmployeeDetail
	{
		public var name:String;
		public var age:Number;
		public var sexual:String;
		public var position:String;
		public var email:String;
		public var phone:String;
		public var address:String;

	}
}

总结：

         在做这个demo时遇到一些问题，有这样几点需要注意：

        1. 为了将java返回的对象直接拷贝构造为as中的对象，要保证as中的对象没有自定义的构造函数，只需要声明绑定即可，同时需要将所有成员属性设为public。

         2.  需要指明remoteobject的endpoint属性。
