Hi,

The enqueue() command was deprecated in version 1.2.
Now you must use the start() command.

Here are the corrections:

planetsRequest.enqueue(); -> planetsRequest.start();
ipRequest.enqueue(); -> ipRequest.start();
zemblyRequest.enqueue(); -> zemblyRequest.start();

;)

You’re wellcome @Daniel. Please, if you modify a source in order to make it work in newest versions of JavaFX, feel free post them in the commentaries and I’ll update the post.

Thanx for your quick reply. I’m working on finding a solution, or a clue to adapt it to the new specifications.

Even if your scripts could be outdated, I still think your scripts are really good to begin to learn, so I’ll visit your blog regularly :-)

Hi @Daniel. Probably the problem is that some of my codes here in the blog are no longer consistent with the current JavaFX’s syntax and API. Probably minor adjustments should be done in the code in order to make it work properly.

Hi, Silveira. I’m new with JavaFX scripts (but I use to develop in Java), and I’m having some fun with some tutorials. Yours is quite good, but I got an error when trying to run your examples. I use Eclipse, and it doesn’t let me run your raw data reader because it doesn’t find the method enqueue(). I’m sure that’s a newbie mistake, easy to solve, but I haven’t found anything helpful in Internet.
Any help from you would be really appreciated.
And congratulations for your site, is quite interesting and educative.

Good article, Silveiro. By the way, we just released a new, easier way to call services at zembly. You can read about it at http://zembly.com/ui/callAPI

Basically, we now have a JavaFX client library, called ZCL, that makes calling zembly services almost as easy as calling them from inside zembly itself, with just a single line of code. (We also have a library for Java.) You can download the library over at Kenai: http://kenai.com/projects/zcl/pages/Home

One nice thing about using ZCL, beyond just the simplicity, is that it uses OAuth to authenticate to zembly so that you can use your zembly keychain to call services like Twitter, Google, Yahoo, etc. without distributing all those API access keys with your application.
