Wouldn’t such an interface be better served with an AJAX style approach (with django serving JSON)? Check out django serialisation:

http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/serialization/

On saying that, however, fantastic that we’ve got more and more people using django as a backend for fetching data. I’m particularly interested in using django for lightweight web services at the moment. Great stuff!

This is our first Flex app. Its built using Modest maps, djangoAMF and Django. Please give it a test drive and tell us what you think.

AMF_GATEWAY_PATH = ‘/gateway/’

AMF logging might also help:

AMF_LOG_LEVEL = ‘DEBUG’
AMF_LOG_FILE = ‘log/amf.txt’
AMF_LOG_FILE_ENCODING = ‘utf8′
AMF_LOG_FILE_MODE = ‘a’

— vi settings.py —
#install applications
INSTALLED_APPS = (
‘django.contrib.auth’,
‘django.contrib.contenttypes’,
‘django.contrib.sessions’,
‘django.contrib.sites’,
‘example’,
)

— vi /www/Django/calculate/example/views.py –
def calculate(request, arg1, arg2): #1
return arg1 + arg2
def calculate2(request, obj): #2
obj['sum'] = obj['arg1'] + obj['arg2']
return obj
def getCurrentDatetime(request): #3
import datetime.datetime
return datetime.now()
def getAllCustomers(request): #4
from example.models import Customer
return Customer.objects.all()
————————————————————

————— vi urls.py ———————————————-
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
import amf.django

urlpatterns = patterns(”,
(r’^gateway/calculateService/(.*)’, ‘amf.django.views’, {’views’:'example.views’}), #1

(r’^gateway/timeService/whatTimeIsItNow’, ‘exampe.views.getCurrentDatetime’), #2
)

———-test AMF in python ————————-
import amf;
service = amf.RemotingService(’http://bsd6.tv:8000/gateway/’, ‘calculateService’, 3);
print service.calculate(2, 3);

===> Then, I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in ?
File “/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/amf/__init__.py”, line 255, in __call__
faultString=result.get(’description’, ”),
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘get’

Would you please give me some hints for debugging? Thanks a lots.

I’ve just tried it myself. was about to go post on the sourceforge site…but trolling around google led me here.

Are you using FlexBuilder? If you are, do you get a security sandbox violation when you try to run or debug the app from FlexBuilder?

Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation:

Just curious if you did, and if you did happen to — if you found a workaround

Cheers,
