How to create and write data into a file using flex3? - apache-flex

I want to create a file and write some data (userid) into the file at first run of my application, during the second run all the operation (will go to the next state) based on the file data, is it possible? How to create and write data into file?

It depends if you're working on a pure-Flex or an AIR project.
If you are making an AIR application, you can access local files using the File class (more informations can be found here and here) ;
If not, you'll have to use a server-side script (PHP, ColdFusion, Java EE...) to do the job, calling it using a HTTPService object for instance.

If you are not concerned about file's location and max content of file is less than 100 KB then you may make use of Shared Objects in flash.

Database using Sqlite in C# windows phone 8

I have doubt regarding windows phone 8 application development. The database using sqlite for windows phone 8 is pre-loaded into the application or it should be created dynamically at the time of installation in windows phone..? and if it is pre-loaded then how to create the database.db file..?? and also if it is dynamically created, what is the procedure to create dynamically...??
I would say, pre-loaded into the application is the very common way.
Take a look at this article, I think the steps to accomplish your task are quite the same: http://wp.qmatteoq.com/import-an-already-existing-sqlite-database-in-a-windows-8-application/
The first step is to copy your database in to the Visual Studio project and, from the Properties window, set the Build action to Content.
Once you’ve done this operation, you’ll be able to access to the files embedded in your project thanks to the Package.Current.InstalledLocation object that is available in the Windows.ApplicationModel namespace.
The InstalledLocation’s type is StorageFolder, which is the base class of all the folders mapping in WinRT: for this reason, it exposes all the standard methods to interact with the storage, like getting a file or a folder. This way we can use the GetFileAsync method to get a reference to the database embedded into the project and, after that, using the CopyAsync method we can copy it into the local storage of the application. We can copy it in the root of the local storage (like in the following example) or in a specific folder, by getting a reference to it first using the GetFolderAsync method.
For those who are not able to work with sqlite I would like to suggest them to follow this link : http://dotnetslackers.com/articles/silverlight/Windows-Phone-7-Native-Database-Programming-via-Sqlite-Client-for-Windows-Phone.aspx and when you are dumping the data into the project .. you just need to change the properties of the "database1.sqlite" i.e. Build Action = resource . Thats all you need to do ..

In Meteor how can I include a js file in another js file server side?

In Meteor is there a way to include a js file in another js file.
Specifically, server side and most importantly at start up.
The use case I am running into is for complicated Meteor.startups where I need to load quite a bit of data to the mongodb into a variety of collections.
In order to have different test scripts I have to have more than one file each with duplicate data.
So, is there anyway to have say a boostrap.js file that calls Meteor.startup and then is able to load different files in order to load up the test data?
Or can this be done in a different way through some kind of object?
By design Meteor will automatically include all the javascript files in the the entire project (except in the public folder) but only segregate them between the server and client.
You could create objects in separate files and just use the functions or objects whenever you please, they should all be available at startup.
Try using my module loader made for use with Meteor. It's very similar to AMD: https://github.com/matb33/meteor-smd

asp.net Web API retrieve file(s) without saving them

I want to retrieve file(s) with ASP.NET Web Api, XML file(s) or zip file(s).
There are many examples how to do this, like this:
http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/working-with-http/sending-html-form-data,-part-2
But the problem is, I don't want to save them on HDD!
I just want to validate the XML with some functions and generate a report on the fly and want to return this report.
But every tutorial use the "MultipartFormDataStreamProvider" witch save the files on HDD.
How can I get the file(s) and file name(s) in memory?
Kind regards
I think you can use the MultipartMemoryStreamProvider?
See a way to implement file upload without writing to the file system.

How to write a webscript in Alfresco that returns a zip file

I need to write a webscript in alfresco that returns to the user a single zip file that contains several files, some of them created on the fly by the script and some of them stored on the server.
How can i do it?I know how to create different files on the server, i don't know how to zip them and how to include files that are stored on the server.
Well, you can develop a Java action that would do the zipping part.
Last time I was looking into this, I didn't find an out-of-the-box solution.
As for returning, you can specify that by specifying webscript format, ie:
<format default="html">any</format>
Only, there is a problem, you can't set a zip format, but alfresco wiki says how you can add more:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/3.0_Web_Scripts_Framework#HTTP_Response_Formats
Edit: I just found this thread (while looking for a solution for another problem). In the thread a custom "unzip" action is described, maybe you can use that to add a zip/unzip action in your alfresco installation and use it.

How to write to an XML file inside a jar file?

Hi Java programmers. I badly need your help.
I have a JavaFX/Java ME application. I'm trying to modify an XML file inside my project's folder (soon to be packaged jar file).
The path of the file I want to write: /parseExample/service1.xml
Sadly, my application is a JavaFx/JavaME so it doesn't contain the library java.util.jar.
So I can't use the jar classes.
Are there other ways to do that?
Even in J2SE you should consider a Jar file as read only. In J2SE the only way to do it is either using external tools or recreating a new Jar file and overwriting the old one with the new.
My recommendation would be to find a storage location as listed below and use your XML file as a default, if you need to change the just put the new one in the storage location.
Your data storage options are the following:
As per http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html These are the possible storage locations you have available:
Shared Preferences - Store private primitive data in key-value pairs.
Internal Storage - Store private data on the device memory.
External Storage - Store public data on the shared external storage.
SQLite Databases - Store structured data in a private database.
Network Connection - Store data on the web with your own network server.
