Apache Flex 4.12 / AIR 4.0 / GDS 3.0.3GA / Tide application not initialising

[Jasen Martin]

Hi

I am just starting out using graniteds 3.0.3.GA and having issues setting up gds-tide-example (as an AIR app / Tomcat 7 Spring 2)

I am using the latest granite-client-flex45 advanced projects to compile the swc's.

My question is, why am I receiving an error when initialising the Tide Application.

After looking at the issue, I found app flexGlobals.topLevelApplication is returning null in org.granite.tide.Tide class.

var flexGlobals:Class = getDefinitionByName("mx.core.FlexGlobals") as Class;

        app = flexGlobals.topLevelApplication;

I know this is strictly speaking a flex sdk/air issue, but have not found anything helpful elsewhere yet, so I thought I would ask you guys.

Any help much appreciated

Jasen

Just an update, I have continued trying to get the gds-tide-client project to work (using granite-master 3.0.3GA libraries) and Apache Flex 12.1/AIR 13 release.

and found the issue seems to be with:

[Bindable]

  private var tideContext:Context = Spring.getInstance().getSpringContext();

For some reason the tideContext is failing.

I will continue checking my setup.

In my application I have a preinitialize handler:

<s:Application ... preinitialize="onPreinitialize()" >

public static function preinitialize():void {
    Spring.getInstance().initApplication();
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks Gavin

Yes, I have this in main.mxml:

                                      <s:WindowedApplication ..

preinitialize="ApplicationController.preinitialize()" 

creationComplete="init()"

And I found I could not init the tideContext like this:

[Bindable]

  private var tideContext:Context;// = Spring.getInstance().getSpringContext(); //returned null

Needed to init tideContext in init() instead from the CreationComplete()

                        public function init():void { 

                                        ApplicationController.init(); 

                                        tideContext = Spring.getInstance().getSpringContext(); //works now

                       }

Knew it had to be something simple.
