I have rewritten the j-amfphp so that it works within the joomla framework, and have yet to publish it. If you like, i couild provide you a copy so that you can alpha test it. It works the same as j-amfphp except that it uses goes through your component . You will have to modify you controller.

Could you please shed some light on how you might have dealt with logins?

I have developed a number of Joomla components / modules using J-amfphp but all will suffer from the single problem of not knowing if a user is logged in or not – UNLESS i force them to process username password.

Thanks a lot for your article.

It helped us create our first application JEPUM – Joomla! Easy Picture Uploader and Manager that integrates Joomla! and Flex.

If you want to know more about this application or some of the challenges we faced, please let me know.

Please accept my sincerest apologies for taking so long to answer you.

Your question goes to the very heart of why I haven’t been speeding up on Joomla an AMF for a while.

Any joomla method that sometimes returns a $this->setRedirect or JApplication redirect (e.g. on incorrect credentials or as a notification message) breaks the communication between Joomla and your AMF enabled app.

That’s because the desktop app (and the AMF protocol itself) doesn’t know what to do with a return value of (e.g. JError::raiseError(…)).

Sadly the implications are that there needs to be a parallel method re-written for every single Joomla one that tends to redirect. An impractical and monumental task.

How have you managed to work around this issue?

thanks for this article, it is what i am searching for, but i have a question on the authentication service (plugin).
when i use the service browser to test the login method, i’ll get an error message:

(Object)#0
message = “faultCode:INVALID_AMF_MESSAGE faultString:’Invalid AMF message’ faultDetail:’JError Application Instantiation Error
‘”
name = “Error”
rootCause = (null)

if i call the login method from my flex application, i’ll get the Error #2044: NetConnection.Call.BadVersion

i think the BadVersion error is because oft the JError, which is fired at JFactory::getApplication

it seems there is no instance (global $mainframe) of the application, but i dont know it really.

the other methods from the JoomlaUser.php Service do their job well.

i am really confused about that and hope you can help me.

function cleanComment($comment){
$comment = str_replace(“/**”, “”, $comment);
$comment = str_replace(“*/”, “”, $comment);
$comment = str_replace(“*”, “”, $comment);
$comment = str_replace(“\r”, “”, trim($comment));
$comment = preg_replace(“`\n[ \t]+`U”, “\n”,trim($comment));
$comment = str_replace(“\n”, “\\n”, trim($comment));
$comment = preg_replace(“`[\t ]+`U”, ” “,trim($comment));
$comment = str_replace(“\”", “\\\”", $comment);
return $comment;
}

I hope I helped you.
