How to log flex -> cfc communication

Report · May 28, 2009

Hi,

I am working on a Flex application using remote objects and CF8.

I have dozen of cfc's with few functions inside.

What I want to realize is to log (in a database) every function called with their passed arguments (from flex) and the userid.

for example here's the information I want to store :

the_date

userid

cfc_filename

function_called

arguments

...

05/28/2009 10:05

myUser1

folder1/sales.cfc

getMainNumbers

- dptName : 'test'

- area : 'test'

- company : 'test'

05/28/2009 10:07

User2

folder2/home.cfc

getUserList

-area : 'test'

is it possible to do without changing the flex application and only using coldfusion (application.cfc + events)

I am already able to retrieve current connected users.

using this script (the authentication is done in a cfm page then it redirects to the Flex app with the userid) :

<cfparam name="application.sessionTracker" default="#StructNew()#">
<cfset objLog = {
     userid = URL.value,
     in = now(),
     area = area
} />
<cfset dummy = structInsert(
     application.sessionTracker,
     URL.value,
     objLog, true)>

Here's the structure of the different directories :

- FTP root

- my Flex app folder

. application.cfm

. index.cfm

. myapp.swf

.myapp.html

- cfc's folder

- folder 1

. file1.cfc

. file2.cfc

...

I hope that my question is clear

Regards,

Aubry

I reply to myself 😉

I used the invoke event on each of my RemoteObject tags.

I also added a function on all result and fault event of my mx:method tags.

So each time a method is called, is successful or got an error it's written in a DB !
