A Data Management Service destination is the endpoint that you send data to and receive data from and provides data distribution and synchronization. You connect to a Data Management Service destination using the DataService component and the corresponding ActionScript API.

Sample:

<service id="data-service" class="flex.data.DataService" messageTypes="flex.data.messages.DataMessage">
<adapters>
    <adapter id="dotnet-dao" class="FluorineFx.DotNetAdapter" default="true"/>
</adapters>

<default-channels>
    <channel ref="my-rtmp"/>
</default-channels>

<destination id="crm.company">
    <adapter ref="dotnet-dao"/>
    <properties>
        <source>samples.crm.CompanyAssembler<source/>
        <scope>application<scope/>
        <metadata>
            <identity property="companyId"/>
        </metadata>
        <network>
            <session-timeout>20</session-timeout>
            <paging enabled="true" pageSize="10"/>
        </network>
    </properties>    
</destination>
</service>
... 
<channels>
    <channel-definition id="my-rtmp" class="mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel">
        <endpoint uri="rtmp://{server.name}:1951" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint"/>
    </channel-definition>
</channels>
...
				

Security

Use a security constraint to authenticate and authorize users before allowing them to access a destination (custom authentication supported only).

Security constraints can be declared inline in the destination definition or globally and referenced by their id in a destination definition.

 

Message channels

The current version of FluorineFx supports only the Realtime Message Protocol (RTMP) channel for Data Management Services.

 

Data adapters

The Data adapter in FluorineFx is provided by the FluorineFx.DotNetAdapter class.

    <adapter id="dotnet" class="FluorineFx.DotNetAdapter" default="true"/>
