A decoding problem with diango

Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy.

Hi, all

I have some decoding problem with django. When I use specific class type and send it to server, it got http 500 error.

 

"RPC Fault faultString="error" faultCode="Channel.Call.Failed" faultDetail="NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 500"

 

When I use just Object or remove the alias on Flex side, It works fine.

 

It only occurs during decoding. Because object from server side to flex side can mapped exactly.

 

And if the object is not django model, it also works fine both in decoding and encoding.

 

There's not any other log except the piece above. I don't know how to config pyamf log.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ivan,

If you add a logger instance to the gateway that will log the request/response and any exceptions that may occur. E.g.:

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

gw = WSGIGateway(services)

gw.logger = logging

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Nick

Hi, Nick
Thanks for your help, now I've found what's going on here.
I have a django model like:

class Company(BaseModel):
    '''
    Company definition.
    '''
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200, unique=True)
    phone = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True)
    address = models.CharField(max_length=500, blank=True)
    fax = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True)
    zip = models.IntegerField(max_length=10, blank=True, null=True)
    website = models.URLField(max_length=200, blank=True)
    active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    city = models.ForeignKey(City, blank=True, null=True)
    objects = ModelManager()
   
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

And seems by default they are all static_attrs. So when I pass some object from flex side that only contains a few attrs, it will throw errors becasue static_attr is required.
Is this a bug or I can change it because there's no need to make all the attrs static.

I made Blank and Null to true in my Model to allow my Flex VO's to be slack; meaning if no data... then no data.  You still get into strange situations where a String is null vs. "", but makes it a ton easier to work with.  If not, you spend a lot of data validation on your Flex side.  This is ok if you have the time, but if not, Blank + Null to git-r-done.

This was intentional to force the Flex client to send a complete model  
instance. This 'feature' is run into time and again with lots of  
questions on stackoverflow and even workarounds being created like in  
Jesse's mail. I can see now that this functionality was a mistake and  
it makes sense to not require any static properties on models for all  
ORM's (Django, SQLAlchemy, GAE etc.)

I think even the 'required' fields should not be required by PyAMF and  
let the relevant ORM handle attributes. What do you think?

Yes, there's no need to make amf decide which field should be required.
 I hope it can be fixed in next release.
Thanks. both nick and jesse. Appreciated!

The only concern I have is default values.

String default so null, which is fine.  But int, uint, and Number are NaN... what would the data default to?

It wouldn't be a huge deal, but Django doesn't really give you, at least in my n00b experience, fine grained detail over WHAT it was expecting for a value; the error is like totally unrelated, at least at first glance.  There seems nothing wrong with Django requiring something for what it specifically is coded to require for... but that doesn't really make things very agile.  If you could coerce it to the nearest default value, by default, that'd be smokin' hawt.

I have done some quick investigation into defaults in Django models, for primitive types:

Given a model:

class TestModel(models.Model):

    char = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    char_blank = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True)

    char_null = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True)

    char_blank_null = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)

    char_default = models.CharField(max_length=100, default='foo')

    char_default_blank = models.CharField(max_length=100, default='foo', blank=True)

    char_default_blank_null = models.CharField(max_length=100, default='foo', blank=True, null=True)

    boolean = models.BooleanField()

    boolean_blank = models.BooleanField(blank=True)

    boolean_default = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    boolean_default_blank = models.BooleanField(default=False, blank=True)

    null_boolean = models.NullBooleanField()

    null_boolean_blank = models.NullBooleanField(blank=True)

    null_boolean_default = models.NullBooleanField(default=False)

    null_boolean_default_blank = models.NullBooleanField(default=False, blank=True)

    integer = models.IntegerField()

    integer_blank = models.IntegerField(blank=True)

    integer_null = models.IntegerField(null=True)

    integer_blank_null = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)

    integer_default = models.IntegerField(default=0)

    integer_default_blank = models.IntegerField(default=0, blank=True)

    integer_default_blank_null = models.IntegerField(default=0, blank=True, null=True)

    decimal = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2)

    decimal_blank = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, blank=True)

    decimal_null = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, null=True)

    decimal_blank_null = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)

    decimal_default = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, default=0.1)

    decimal_default_blank = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, default=0.1, blank=True)

    decimal_default_blank_null = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, default=0.1, blank=True, null=True)

Creating an instance:

x =TestModel()

print x.__dict__

gives:

{'boolean': False,

 'boolean_blank': False,

 'boolean_default': False,

 'boolean_default_blank': False,

 'char': '',

 'char_blank': '',

 'char_blank_null': None,

 'char_default': u'foo',

 'char_default_blank': u'foo',

 'char_default_blank_null': u'foo',

 'char_null': None,

 'decimal': None,

 'decimal_blank': None,

 'decimal_blank_null': None,

 'decimal_default': 0.10000000000000001,

 'decimal_default_blank': 0.10000000000000001,

 'decimal_default_blank_null': 0.10000000000000001,

 'decimal_null': None,

 'id': None,

 'integer': None,

 'integer_blank': None,

 'integer_blank_null': None,

 'integer_default': 0,

 'integer_default_blank': 0,

 'integer_default_blank_null': 0,

 'integer_null': None,

 'null_boolean': None,

 'null_boolean_blank': None,

 'null_boolean_default': False,

 'null_boolean_default_blank': False}

Which is what PyAMF is going to use to encode the instance. It all looks pretty sane to me.

It appears that AS3 (correct me if I'm wrong) that uint/int/Number will support 'undefined' so the Django ORM adapter would have to check for 'None' and convert accordingly. Is this sensible?

Not sure if there are any other cases to check for?

Cheers,

Nick
