Spring ActionScript 0.7.1 Released

[cherreman]

Dear Community,

I'm pleased to announce that Spring ActionScript 0.7.1 is now available.

Download | API Documentation | Changelog

This is a minor release that fixes 2 blocking issues:
- import nodes were not parsed correctly, which resulted in the imported nodes not being created.
- circular reference error when 2 objects have bidirectional references.

We also added some extra classes to the domain package.

best regards,
Christophe

First things first, Thank you so much for the Spring Actionscript Framework, it's a great Framework.

I just downloaded the new Release 0.7.1 and it works perfectly ...
Although, when my Application is loading I get this trace output in my console:

2/7/2009 18:29:49.921 [INFO] SpringActionScript.FlexXMLApplicationContext Loading XML object definitions from [application-context.xml]
2/7/2009 18:29:49.993 [INFO] SpringActionScript.FlexXMLApplicationContext Loading properties file from [application-context.properties]

Type.forName error: Error #1065: Variable AuthenticationAgent is not defined. The class '::AuthenticationAgent' is probably an internal class or it may not have been compiled.
Type.forName error: Error #1065: Variable AuthenticationAgent is not defined. The class '::AuthenticationAgent' is probably an internal class or it may not have been compiled.

seams that everything goes fine except here:

Type.forName error: Error #1065: Variable AuthenticationAgent is not defined. The class '::AuthenticationAgent' is probably an internal class or it may not have been compiled.
Type.forName error: Error #1065: Variable AuthenticationAgent is not defined. The class '::AuthenticationAgent' is probably an internal class or it may not have been compiled.

so, now I'm not sure what this error means, since everything work just as expected and in my Project I definitely do not have such a Variable nor Class definition. Should I care?

Thank's in advance for a reply.

Saludos,
Alex

Hi,

this is a warning trace from the AS3Reflect lib. I'm not exactly sure where that class is coming from, but I'm thinking that it is compiled into the Spring AS swc. I'll have a look at it. You shouldn't worry about it though.

regards,
Christophe

Is it possible in the current version of Spring Actionscript to create a Map (Dictionary) in a condensed way?

<property name="valueMap">
   <map>
     <entry key="something" value="hello"/>
   </map>
</property>

rather than 

<property name="valueMap">
   <map>
      <entry>
          <key>something</key>
          <value>soemthingelwe</value>
      </entry>
   </map>
</property>

Trying this code in 0.7.1 doesn't work. Would it be possible to add this in the next release? It cuts lines of XML code for maps by 75%.

hi,
I was trying a HelloWorld example of SpringActionScript, but some how I keep getting Unhandled ioError
I have an XML file in the same folder with the content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<objects xmlns="http://www.pranaframework.org/objects"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.pranaframework.org/objects
	http://www.pranaframework.org/schema/objects/prana-objects-0.7.xsd">
	<object id="..." class="...">
	<!-- collaborators and configuration for this object go here -->
	</object>
	<object id="myObj" class="MyObject">
	<!-- collaborators and configuration for this object go here -->
	</object>
	<!-- more object definitions go here -->
</objects>

trying the following code

package  
{
	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.events.Event;
	
	import org.springextensions.actionscript.context.support.XMLApplicationContext;
	import as3reflect.AbstractMember;
	
	/**
	 * ...
	 * @author Saumya
	 */
	public class HelloWorld extends MovieClip
	{
		
		public function HelloWorld() 
		{
			trace(this);
			
			var applicationContext:XMLApplicationContext = new XMLApplicationContext();
			applicationContext.addConfigLocation("application-context.xml");
			applicationContext.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleComplete);
			applicationContext.load();
		}
		
		private function handleComplete(e:Event):void 
		{
			trace(this,' : handleComplete :  ');
		}
		
	}
	
}

Hi,

It seems that your xml file cannot be read by the application. Are you sure the xml file is in the same folder as the compiled swf file?
