Adobe Distribution Services horror?

I'm looking in the new distribution Services made available by Adobe and Gigya. My workflow is pure AS3, using FDT, so it made sense to download "Actionscript library" of the choice of the options available here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=distribution

The downloaded zip file contains a single class. I must say it is one of the most misspelled class files that I've seen in a long time. Let's take a peek:

  • An error in line 212 - the variable 'isInitialized' is instantiated with a * = operator, rather than be typed as a * wildcard.
  • An error in line 277 - closing of a class definition must not end with a; delimiter.
  • The name of the class and therefore also the constructor, begin with a lower-case letter.
  • A private static method arbitrary received a first letter capitalized (CreateServiceLoader)
  • There are 3 unused (MovieClip, ErrorEvent and IOError) imports.
  • Variable 'serviceInstance"on line 260 is not fully used.
  • There are a lot of 'Magic Strings' used in the whole of the class.
  • Various commented lines, the names of questionable methods (wait4Stage?) and the countless exceptions to standard Flex Coding Conventions.

Usually this stinks, at best, amateurness. I can't wait to start working with Distribution Services, but this put me in a big way. I can see the class was written by a Peleg Eyal of Gigya, and not Adobe, but I am always surprised to see that adobe should join this somehow. It of to try and developers to push the path to use Flex/Flash builder rather our own favorite development mode?

If anyone can provide info on what, exactly, this class is designed to do; why it is written so badly; and when we might see a decent update to it, it would be most appreciated.

Hi _duncanhall_,

Thank you for sharing your concerns in this forum. Many of your points are valid, and I will address below or in a later post.

I can relieve your anxiety about the hidden motives. Nothing in the class must or will push developers to use Flash builder.  The goal of this class is to orchestrate the different security sandbox code and ensure that a limited form of cross domain scripting is allowed without compromising safety.

We will examine this approach and I hope to come up with an approach that needs less "magical". "." In the short term, we will probably offer just a .swc you can statically compile in your code.

Some 'mistakes' encoding (for example, line 260) are required to run the allowDomain method in the context of the field of the safety of the SWF Campeau.

Other things are just oversight on our part. Even if the white space of the line 212 between the * and the = is not "significant" white space from the perspective of the ActionScript language parser (it is always parsed as a type with an assignment statement), but it's really bad from a readability perspective. WWE will correct this.

We discuss the choice of capitalization. The intention here was to make the class which is actually a proxy look like a package so that the calling code can look for 'smart' as in:

com.adobe.fps.distribution.services.XYZ

It looks like a path of the package but 'distribution' is actually a class that dynamically load services and the proxies from them. We will update our community once we took a decision on a more general framework of service. Please stay tuned.

Thanks again for the sharp eyes and we help to improve services.

  • Distribution service: "error occurred during the loading of an article."

    Hello

    I'm finishing a folio with 53 items.

    During the download of Distribution service, I heard this message more than 20 times:

    Untitled.png

    Each time after this message, I need to start the publication process. Items already send pass very quickly and that it slows down and after one or two new items the error occurs again.

    So it took me 4 hours to publish a folio with about 140 MB!

    This could not be a problem with my internet connection. It's very fast and absolutely stable.

    What is the reason for this?

    Thanks for your help.

  • How to uninstall software distribution service 3.0

    HOW TO UNINSTALL software distribution service 3.0

    Why would you do that?

    You use Microsoft Security Essentials?

    If you see Restore Points in your system restore calendar who say:

    Software Distribution Service 3.0

    Restore Points see you who belong to the Distribution of software Service (SDS) and are created when Windows Update detects something to do.

    Windows Update will download the updates in the folder c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution and once the download is complete, and at the start of the installation of updates (automatically or stop or manually - depending on your configuration) a new SDS Restore Point is automatically created before updates are installed.  After that the SDS Restore Point is created, then the updates are installed.  It works this way so you can still use a Restore Point to go back to a previous time before the updates were installed.

    The updates could be the usual things like updates to security updates of the operating system XP, patch, or if you are running Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) and it will update its definitions, you will see a restore SDS everytime MSE Point updates (because it is considered as an update from MS).

    If you run MSE, you see a Restore Point of your configuration / SDS each day or more a day depending on suite how often updates come out.   The appearance of these SDS Restore Points can be worrying if you don't know what they mean, but you can always find what it means if one needs to solve a problem.

    If you run MSE, expect to see the restoration of the SDS shows up every day or so and that, usually just means that your MSE got an update (not a problem).

    Now do you really want to uninstall your SDS 3.0?

  • Micrtosoft Software Distribution Service 3.0 can automatically download & install if I do not use Microsoft Security Essentials? -Malware?

    XP pro with Service Pack 3 on 10 years, Dell Dimension 4500.  I use NOT of MSE.  I use AVG, malware protection.  I authorize updates from Microsoft automatically download but I decide to install.  13/03/13, I noticed that my PC had set a new restore point called "Software Distribution Service 3.0". Checking Windows Update I found 8 updates which appear legitimate 3/13 but I did not knowingly take any action to install them.  Have I not malware?  If so, how can I recover?

    Updates were:

    KB2807986 for a Note

    KB2687505 to the Visio Viewer

    KB890830 for malicious...

    KB982726 for Office 2010

    KB2767886 also for Office 2010

    KB2809289 for IE 8

    KB2814124 for Silverlight

    KB2553501 for filter Pack 2.0

    Thank you

    When you install Office 2010, Silverlight, Windows Live Essentials or Microsoft Security Essentials, you can make two changes:

    1 Microsoft Update (vs Windows Update) becomes your update by default source (that is, if she had not already the default); [1] and...

    2 automatic updates will reset the automatic configuration by default (that is, if one of the other options had been selected.)

    [The above is specified in the EULA that you accept when you install one of the requests, but it is "buried" in the small print and difficult to anyone who bothers to read.]

    Since you had MS Office 2010 installed for a while, chances are that Microsoft Update was already your default. So, it seems that #2 happened to you after you have installed Windows Live Mail (part of Windows Live Essentials) a few weeks ago (i.e. the or after 12 February).

    If you have not already done so, do not hesitate to change your automatic updates affecting the 'download but do not automatically install... '. "option.

    ======================================================

    [1] so that Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other Microsoft software (MS Office 2010, Silverlight, Windows Live Essentials and Microsoft Security Essentials).

  • Software Distribution Service 3.0. my wallpaper, all my documents, my videos, my photos, my desktop shortcuts, etc. all gone. has had to do a system restore. How can I avoid this in the future?

    XP Professional 5.1.2600 Pack 3. Automatic updates are on. After that an automatic update on Mei and June 2012 identified as Software Distribution Service 3.0 my wallpaper, all my documents, my videos, my photos, my desktop shortcuts, etc. all gone. has had to do a system restore. How can I avoid this in the future?

    Software distribution service 3.0 is a system restore point, not an update.

    When an update is installed a SDS is created.

    To check the name of the update, go to the Microsoft Update Web site and check your update history, search for the date, that the error occurred.

    Also make sure that your system is clean:

    Download, install, update and scan with these full free malware detection programs:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/

    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    I guess 'Mei' is your abbreviation of Microsoft Security Essentials under your antivirus protection, is this correct?

  • Is there an Adobe online service that allows to convert into a smart PDF format?

    My client needs to combine the files into a pdf file, but they cannot use Adobe Pro DC because they are a government agency and their PC is locked and they cannot load new applications on them. Survey Services PDF Adobe cloud looked like a good solution. However, some of the files that are needed to combine scanned documents and their scanner produces PDF files where each page is an image. In the service of PDF, it is possible to export these PDFs from word using OCR documents, but there is no option to select the output in a smart PDF format. They need the documents to be a true replica of the original, but also be index-able. They would pay for a subscription for a service that can convert to a smart PDF format, but is there an Adobe online service that allows to convert into a smart PDF format?

    Try to think about it as "OCR on a PDF by", not some kind of conversion. Who can help you locate a service such as Adobe do not have. Be aware that, if you find the clumsy bureaucracy to get the software installed, it can be insurmountable for a service online because of privacy. Protocols within governmental organizations are strict in order to keep all not controlled.

    If you talk about photoshop cs to 2003, then you will not save it or activate it.

    Because registration is optional and not mandatory, and you meant activation, you will need to download no activation of photoshop cs2 to replace your photoshop cs and use the serial number for cs2 on the download page.

    So I try to contact the customer service team, but there is no any direct e-mail contact, only forum and phone number, no cat. I post in the forum and that answer only Member me, not the adobe staff.

    We, customer, pay US $ 33/month to get a very bad customer service. I use many online services and Adobe seems the worst customer service I've experienced up to now.

  • Can a customer with any Adobe online services sign a PDF form sent by Adobe eSign? (Mobile and desktop options)

    Hello:

    I'm trying a service allowing our small company to sign PDF documents in our offices or on our mobile devices. I came across Adobe eSign Services as a mobile solution (since we already have Acrobat Pro) However, because I am fairly new to the Adobe online services, I wonder is a customer with no Adobe eServices (eSign) could sign a PDF file that has been sent by us with Adobe eSign Manager? (especially on mobile devices. For example, if they had CudaSign or DocuSign) we do not want to cause inconvenience to our customers with download a particular application, or create accounts to anywhere just sign one of our documents. Some clarification in this regard would be appreciated.

    Hello TrinityGal,

    By default, it did not signatories to first have an account E-Sign to esign document. The signatories will receive an email containing the link to document and once it is which is clicked, it is opened in a browser to fill and esign.
