dart_amf

AMF3 library for dart

Work in progress - not complete. Many things may not work. Not optimised. Lots of debug output currently that will be slowing things down. Etc., etc.

Uses dart mirrors, so understand the implications of that.

Usage

Do something like the following:

Initialise the AMF system, and make it search for classes with the @RemoteClass annotation
```
  AMF.init();        
  AMF.findAnnotatedClasses();
```

Declare a Server class that uses channels

  class Server {
      String baseUrl;
      Channel _channel;
  
      Server(this.baseUrl); // Call with something like http://mysite:8080/messagebroker/amf
  
      Channel get channel {
        _channel = new Channel("my-channel-id", baseUrl);
        return _channel;
      }
  }

Create a base class for your services

  class BaseAmfService {
    Server _server;
    String _service;
  
    BaseAmfService(this._service, this._server) {
  
    }
  
    RemoteService get remoteObject {
      RemoteService remoteObject = new RemoteService(_server.channel, _service);
  
        return remoteObject;
      }
  }

Implement services that match your remote AMF protocol, and implement some methods

  class SomeKindOfService extends BaseAmfService {
      SomeKindOfService(Server server) : super("SomeKindOfServiceName", server)
      {
  
      }
  
      // Methods
      Future<Object> doSomething(bool param)
      {
         return remoteObject.callMethod("getRoles", [param])
                            .then( (ResultEvent event) => event.result );
      }
  
  }

Call your services!

  AMF.init();        
  AMF.findAnnotatedClasses();

  Server server = new Server("http://mysite:8080/messagebroker/amf");
          
  SomeKindOfService svc = new SomeKindOfService(server);
  
  svc.doSomething(true).then((r) {
    print("I got it ${r}");
  } );

Serialization options

You can serialize your classes much like in Actionscript.

Named types that don't exist will be constructed as ASObject instances (and you can use it like a map).
Named types that do exist will be constructed. If they implement Externalizable, that will be called. Otherwise the object will be populated dynamically.
Annotate your class with @RemoteClass("the.name.of.the.class") to name it.

(Externalizable must match on the java side)

E.g:

    @RemoteClass("com.nirima.model.Activity")
    class Activity implements Externalizable
    {
        bool done;
        Activity relatesToTask;
        
        void writeExternal(ObjectOutput output) {
           super.writeExternal(output);
           output.writeObject(done);
           output.writeObject(relatesToTask);
        }
    
        void readExternal (ObjectInput input) {
            super.readExternal(input);
            done = input.readObject();
            relatesToTask = input.readObject();
        }        
    }
