  • Continuing to work on a python code completion engine.  Phil helped me with some ideas and pointed out a few built in introspection methods in Python.
  • Built something basically using the existing visibility script engine to run “info” on the variable in question and a problem arose:
    • For example, say your cursor is at the end of this script:
    • def solrXmlFromListList(doc, root, headers, table):
      for row in table:
      rowNode = doc.createElement(‘doc’)
      root.appendChild(rowNode)
      for i in xrange(len(headers)):
      fieldNode = doc.createElement(‘field’)
      fieldNode.setAttribute(‘name’, headers[i])
      textNode = doc.createTextNode(str(row[i]))
      fieldNode.
    • I can’t run info on ‘fieldNode’ without appending info(fieldNode) to the end of the script and executing the entire script which is obviously not an option
    • So basically I need to find a way to run introspection on a script without running any of the script

Keil 8.19.2010

  • Learning to use BlazeDS
  • Successfully passed a string from BlazeDS to a Flex application using the tutorial located at http://raajasoft.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/blazeds-and-java-together-a-simple-tutorial/
  • Unfortunately the tutorial uses flex 3, so many of the steps don’t apply in this version, such as the instructions for connecting to the data source.
  • Instead of following the instructions, accept the defaults when creating a new project and then go to “data” and select “connect to blazeds” the instructions make much more sense in this dialog box.
  • Also note that the instructions want you to use mx components, but with flex 4 you can use spark if you want.
