The trickiest thing about how this service works is that we want to take over the existing service's invocation so that user code is minimally impacted by the addition of data management. The service call works the same way, same events and tokens are fired only the result must be managed. To make this work, the RPCDataServiceAdapter associated a ManagedOperation with a regular RPC service operation. The operation's "operationManager" property is set and during initialization time and the end-user's call is redirected to a proxy method in this class (e.g. queryProxy). This generates the corresponding data management call and returns the managed token to the end user so they get the result of the managed operation.
order is:
user calls service method
calls service delegates to operationManager - ManagedOpertion.xxProxy methods
calls managerOperation kicks off DMS op --> DataManager.xx
calls DMS op calls adapter to do the op --> DataServiceAdapter.invoke
calls: RPCDataServiceAdapter invokes the service operation and sets the "raw" lastResult
returns: adapter's result comes back in and is converted to DMS Result Message - RPCDataServiceResult.xxResult
returns: data manager processes result - updates managed object --> DataListRequestResponder/CommitResponder
returns: service is updated to lastResult from the operation
returns: user's result event is called

asyncRequest | property |
asyncRequest:AsyncRequest [read-only] [override] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
An abstract method which returns an AsyncRequest that is used to handle all DataService operations. By overriding the AsyncRequest.invoke method you can intercept managed requests. The AsyncRequest class also exposes the various methods for determining if the service is connected or disconnected.
Implementation
override public function get asyncRequest():AsyncRequestdataManagerRegistry | property |
public static var dataManagerRegistry:Object| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Static map from destination name to data manager for that destination.
destination | property |
public var destination:String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Name of destination for this data service adapter.
serializeAssociations | property |
serializeAssociations:Boolean [read-only] [override] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
This controls whether or not DMS wraps the items into a serialization descriptor which excludes the associations. The MessagingDataServiceAdapter will use this approach for sending associations - not used in the RPCDataServiceAdapter.
Implementation
override public function get serializeAssociations():BooleanthrowUnhandledFaults | property |
throwUnhandledFaults:Boolean [read-only] [override] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Returns false because this data manager does not throw an error if there is a fault with no listeners on the data manager. For RPC servies, those errors are proxied to listeners on the service and so throwing the error is not appropriate.
Implementation
override public function get throwUnhandledFaults():BooleancheckForConflict | () | method |
protected function checkForConflict(resultEvent:ResultEvent, token:mx.rpc:AsyncToken):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
This method gets called after a fault which might determine a conflict.
In the fault handler for that fault, issue a getItem() call to retrieve the server's current
version of the item.
One reason you might want to override this method is if you need to take action after no conflict is detected.
Parameters
resultEvent:ResultEvent — The event object from the getItem() call.
| |
token:mx.rpc:AsyncToken — Contains a cause property which is the original DataMessage for the change.
This method can call Conflicts.raiseConflict() when there is a conflict, or it can
do nothing if it determines there is no conflict.
|
createItem | () | method |
public function createItem(dataManager:RPCDataManager, item:Object):mx.rpc:AsyncToken| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
This method is called by the RPCDataServiceAdapter when it needs to perform the createItem operation. The default implementation is to invoke the managed operation registered for the createItem operation using the item as the first parameter. If you need to invoke more than one service or change the parameter signature for this operation, you can extend the RPCDataServiceAdapter and override this createItem method.
Parameters
dataManager:RPCDataManager — manager in control of the create operation to be invoked.
| |
item:Object — item to be created.
|
mx.rpc:AsyncToken — You can use this token to register one or more callback functions to receive result or
fault events from this create operation. This token is also returned in the call property of
the ResultEvent.RESULT or in the FaultEvent.FAULT.
Custom data can be attached to this object and inspected later during the event handling phase.
|
deleteItem | () | method |
public function deleteItem(dataManager:RPCDataManager, item:Object):mx.rpc:AsyncToken| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
This is called by the RPCDataServiceAdapter when the management layer wants to delete an item from the server. The item to be deleted is provided as an argument. The default implementation of this method looks for a ManagedOperation of type="delete". That method is called with the item to be deleted, or the id of the item to be deleted if the parameters of the ManagedOperation is set to "id".
Parameters
dataManager:RPCDataManager — manager in control of the delete operation to be invoked.
| |
item:Object — item to be deleted.
|
mx.rpc:AsyncToken — You can use this token to register one or more callback functions to receive result or
fault events from this delete operation. This token is also returned in the call property of
the ResultEvent.RESULT or in the FaultEvent.FAULT.
Custom data can be attached to this object and inspected later during the event handling phase.
|
executeQuery | () | method |
public function executeQuery(dataManager:RPCDataManager, queryName:String, includeSpecifier:PropertySpecifier, queryArgs:Array):mx.rpc:AsyncToken| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Called when the adapter needs to execute a named query. If paging is enabled, this will fetch the first page in the collection.
Parameters
dataManager:RPCDataManager — manager in control of the query operation to be invoked.
| |
queryName:String — query name
| |
includeSpecifier:PropertySpecifier — set of properties to be retrieved.
| |

| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Adapter method called when a list of items for a specific destination need to be fetched. The PropertySpecifier indicates the minimum set of properties needed. The default implementation of this method is to call the getItem method repeatedly. If your server can perform this operation more efficiently it may improve some operations to implement this method.
Parameters
dataManager:RPCDataManager — associated data manager.
| |
ids:Array — array of identities for the items to be retrieved.
| |
includeSpecifier:PropertySpecifier — [optional] set of properties to be retrieved.
|
mx.rpc:AsyncToken — AsyncToken bind to the result property of the AsyncToken to retrieve the

responders to the token and add additional information as dynamic properties of the
token to keep track of the results of the operation.
|
handleFault | () | method |
public function handleFault(errMsg:ErrorMessage, cause:DataMessage):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
This gets called after we've finished processing a fault of a create, update, delete, or update collection operation. It is an adapter's chance to customize logic associated with the error handling and check for conflicts. The default implementation implements the RPCDataManager conflictMode feature. When it gets a fault for an UPDATE or DELETE operation, it compares the current server version against the original version of the updated/deleted object. If the server version is different, we raise that as a conflict. This assumes that the faulting change has already been put back into the uncommitted batch of changes.
Parameters
errMsg:ErrorMessage — The description of the error.
| |
cause:DataMessage — The operation that caused the error.
|
internalGetItem | () | method |
protected function internalGetItem(dataManager:RPCDataManager, identity:Object, defaultValue:Object = null, includeSpecifier:PropertySpecifier = null):mx.rpc:AsyncToken| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
This method actually performs the getItem operation but the result handler will not be used to update the managed result. This method is used by the default getItem implementation to invoke the operation. When conflict detection is enabled, after a fault is received for an update or delete operation, this method is called to retrieve the current server version of the object so we can see if the fault was an indication a conflict and to get the current server version so we can resolve that conflict.
Parameters
dataManager:RPCDataManager — associated data manager.
| |
identity:Object — identity of the item to be retrieved.
| |
defaultValue:Object (default = null) | |
includeSpecifier:PropertySpecifier (default = null) |
mx.rpc:AsyncToken — AsyncToken bind to the result property of the AsyncToken to retrieve the
result. Otherwise, you can listen for the result property change event, add one or more
responders to the token and add additional information as dynamic properties of the
token to keep track of the results of the operation.
|
pageQuery | () | method |
public function pageQuery(dataManager:RPCDataManager, queryName:String, queryArgs:Array, startIndex:int, numItems:int):mx.rpc:AsyncToken| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Perform a query for a single page of a client side query. This method is called when pagingEnabled is set on a ManagedQuery. The client code will invoke the query as normal with just the usual query parameters. The management layer will insert the startIndex and numItems parameters before it makes the call.
Parameters
dataManager:RPCDataManager — manager in control of the query operation to be invoked.
| |
queryName:String — query name.
| |
queryArgs:Array — arguments to the query operation invocation.
| |
startIndex:int — start index for the page to be retrieved.
| |
numItems:int — size of page.
|
mx.rpc:AsyncToken — You can use this token to register one or more callback functions to receive result or
fault events from this query operation. This token is also returned in the call property of
the ResultEvent.RESULT or in the FaultEvent.FAULT.
Custom data can be attached to this object and inspected later during the event handling phase.
|

| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
This gets called when we get a fault that might be a conflict from the server. We'll try to get the current values for the item which is in conflict and then compare them to the original item in the change we tried to apply. If there are differences, that is a conflict which we'll raise.
Parameters
dmgr:RPCDataManager — the data manager associated with this adapter's destination.
| |
cause:DataMessage — original data message that may have potentially caused a conflict.
| |
errMsg:ErrorMessage (default = null) |
updateCollection | () | method |
public function updateCollection(dataManager:RPCDataManager, mq:ManagedQuery, ucmsg:UpdateCollectionMessage):mx.rpc:AsyncToken| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
This is called when a collection managed by a query (not an association) has items added to the collection or removed from the collection. There is a single message with a list of individual changes. Often you do not need to override this method as those changes are not needed to persist changes made on the client.
If you are implementing associations such as a many-to-many relationship using queries, it may be helpful though to add/remove a row during these operations.
The RPCDataServiceAdapter implementation maps these to individual add and remove calls.
Parameters
dataManager:RPCDataManager — The data manager associated with this adapter's destination.
| |
mq:ManagedQuery — the managed query for which items have been added or removed.
| |
ucmsg:UpdateCollectionMessage — update collection message detailing the items that have been added or removed
|
mx.rpc:AsyncToken — AsyncToken reference to the token that will identify this
operation in a result or fault event dispatched from this service.
|
updateItem | () | method |
public function updateItem(dataManager:RPCDataManager, item:Object, origItem:Object, changes:Array):mx.rpc:AsyncToken| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform Data Services for Java EE 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
This method is called by the RPCDataServiceAdapter to perform a specific updateItem operation. It is given the new version of the item, the original version of that item before it was modified on this client and the list of properties which are changed. The default implementation looks for a ManagedOperation of type="update" and calls that. The managed operation should at least take the new version of the item as a parameter. If it additionally declares parameters with the special names "origItem" and "changes" those parameters will be provided as well to the remote service.
Parameters
dataManager:RPCDataManager — The data manager.
| |
item:Object — The new version of the item.
| |
origItem:Object — The original item.
| |
changes:Array — list of properties which to change.
|
mx.rpc:AsyncToken — AsyncToken reference to the token that will identify this
operation in a result or fault event dispatched from this service.
