BBB - Client

[yacine]

I checkout the latest version (0.35r from constants.as) of the client
code from svn and I would like to build the client for BBB.
After setting the path to the Flex SDK in build.properties I ran ant
build but no luck.

Are there other parameters to set somewhere?

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry, I haven't tried building outside of FlexBuilder so I don't know
what steps to take.

Try downloading FlexBuilder and use that to build.

Hi,

We've built the client in Flex Builder. We zipped and copied the bin
folder and put it into /tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/webapps/client
We modified the modules.xml with the appropriate IPs and we noticed
the following error in the tomcat log on startup. Do we have to do a
special release build?

Login appears fine, but we get an "IO Error When Uploading File" when
we try to upload a pdf for presenting.

Thanks in advance,

You don't need to do a special realease build.

I believe the IO error you are getting is due to Flash security
restrictions. You need to put a crossdomain.xml in your tomcat's
webpass/ROOT folder. Put your server's IP/hostname in your
crossdomain.xml.

Google for "crossdomain.xml" to get more info about it.

Here is an example crossdomain.xml file
--
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*.carleton.ca"/>
<allow-access-from domain="present.sce.carleton.ca"/>
<allow-access-from domain="present.carleton.ca"/>
<allow-access-from domain="134.117.226.246"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

i realized the issue could be that your tomcat server is listening on
a different port that specified in module.conf.

Make sure that the host part of the Presentation module has the port
that tomcat is listening.

<module name="PresentationModule" url="PresentationModule.swf"
uri="rtmp://localhost/presentation"
host="http://localhost[:{tomcat's port}]" />

[Matthew]

Thanks for the info. We tried both ideas. Crossdomain.xml and
changing the modules.xml in the client.
We also removed a renamed war file that was one of the tomcat
directories and we have slides uploads working now.
We'll try Asterisk integration shortly. Is it just a matter of
changing the AMI configuration in a handful of files? I noticed
several files that have this info now.

Thanks again!

Yes, change the one in webapps/astmeetme/WEB-INF/astmeetme.properties.
The other place doesn't have any effect.

Great, got it to work. Thank you.
