Don’t you need to add something to the urls.py as well? Like (r’^gateway/$’, gateway.gw),

login is successful and i do get the user object in flash.
but when using the netConnection to call the @login_required
def - registered_user_protected_function, django prints - anonymous user.

this page and one more are the only examples in the entire web!!!!

Should i forget about auth sessions in django with flash? what about piston api , is that the solution for non-browser usage?

Hi Joel,

I follow your Pyamf guide and on django site, it return the user for example: [u'loi', u'0000']. But, in flash site, it run into error:

ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Authentication/::onResult()

Could you please give advice for this?
Thanks,
Loi

Joel,

Working for a large news organization for the past year I’ve created a dozen or so Flex applications that use Django with DjangoAMF on the back end. Recently I’ve been seeking a replacement for DjangoAMF, something that will work with Django 1.0. It is encouraging to see your success stories and helpful code samples posted here. Thank you for that, and keep up the good work.

Jay

Hi Albert,

I would highly recommend asking on the pyAMF User List. The developers are >extremely< helpful.

Also, look at the example files on the pyAMF web site. There are several related to mapping objects.

Hi Joel

I am wondering the details of mapping classes between FLEX and python
for example how the register_class functions and how shall I do that in my application, if please would you send me your example on that, thanks alot.
Besides, recently I encountered problems when retreiving a list data in side another list from djangogateway to flex. the inner list was filtered so that I can’t get those data, do you know how to figure this out?
thanks a lot

Hi Wolfgang,

I just noticed that I didn’t register the methods for registered_user_protected_function and staff_protected_function in the gateway.py in my example code. This is necessary, of course, to call them from Flex.

Since login returns a user, I usually have a corresponding class mapped on the Flex side as a VO. The result will be a UserVO in this case so your function would be like this:

private function handleLoginResult(user:UserVO) { if(user)//do some stuff }
