Messaging from Java to Flex without JMS
With BlazeDS/LCDS you can send messages to and receive messages from a server side destination thanks to Messaging Services and their client-side API. In your messaging configuration you can use a ActionScript Adapter: <adapter-definition id="actionscript" class="flex.messaging.services.messaging.adapters.ActionScriptAdapter" default="true" /> or a...
Examples and slides of our latest events on PureMVC, BlazeDS, Java, AIR, and RIA User Interface design
Between October and November we held a couple of events for the italian Flex User Group (FlexGala) and Adobe Italy (Adobe TechConnection events). These are the urls to some of slides and examples showed at those events:
- Architecting ActionScript 3 applications using PureMVC, by Emanuele Tatti (RIA Engineer at Comtaste)
- Designing Flex and AIR applications, by Kira Garfagnoli (Creative User Experience Designer at Comtaste)
- Applying the DAO design pattern withing AIR applications, by Marco Casario (CTO Comtaste)
- A PureMVC example that invokes a Java remote object using the RemoteObject class and BlazeDS (zip file)
- JMS Java Producer (zip file)
- JMS Messaging (zip file)
Livecycle Data Services and Flex Development Best Practices
Adobe Italy and Comtaste are organizing a series of events about Enterprise Flex development with Livecycle Data Services and BlazeDS. The next date is on 27 November at the Adobe office in Milan and it's titled:
The new BlazeDS JMSAdapter allows to pass connection-level credentials to JMS
I want to point out for the readers of this blog (mainly Java, Flex and Livecycle developers) an article I published on my personal blog : Passing connection-level credentials to the JMSAdapter of BlazeDS One of the limit if the Messaging Services of Livecycle Data Services is the inability to define a username and password in the configuration file to pass them to the JMS. I discovered that in BlazeDS there is a new JMSAdapter that allows you to set the connection-level credentials passing the username and password. The new connection-credentials XML node sets the the username and password used while creating the JMS connection.As the documentation said, use only if JMS connection level authentication is being used
Adobe announces open source BlazeDS and the AMF data binary specification release
Adobe has just announced the BlazeDS beta release. On Adobe Labs today we can read that "BlazeDS is the server-based Java remoting and web messaging technology that enables developers to easily connect to back-end distributed data and push data in...
Automating ActionScript 3 classes generation from Java Beans in a LiveCycle Data Services context
In a Flex application that uses LiveCycle Data Services or the previous Flex Data Services to manage data from a remote server there is the requirement that Flex domain model classes have to match Java domain model, in structure, properties and types.
An open source alternative to Adobe LiveCycle Data Services: Granite Data Services
Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES, formerly called Flex Data Services (FDS), provides data services such as remoting, data push, publish and subscribe for Flex applications. With LCDS you can integrate flex with J2EE infrastructures and a previuos post on our blog shows an example: LiveCycle Data Services and Hibernate integration in Flex RIA applications. There are a lot of open source projects around flex, flash and AMF, and, on java side, GraniteDS is one of the most promising. It's developed under the LGPL and proposes itself as an alternative to Adobe® LiveCycle® (Flex™ 2) Data Services for J2EE application servers.
Enterprise RIA development with Flex/LiveCycle Data Services and Java persistence
LiveCycle Data Services overview LiveCycle Data Services, formerly known as Flex Data Services, is a powerful Adobe product that allows seamless interaction between a Flex client and any Java EE based server or most J2EE servers. These services allow Java object or services to be called directly from the Flex client, in a transparent way: all the developer has to do, in the Flex code, is call remote services just like they were Flex functions or methods. All the problems related to marshalling / unmarshalling, mapping Flex and Java classes and types are solved internally by LiveCycle Data Services. For all of this to work, LiveCycle Data Services only requires some configuration to be provided, that will define the required behavior. Using LiveCycle Data Services is, without doubt, one of the best approaches to consider in developing enterprise RIA applications, as it takes care, in an efficient and scalable way, of all the information exchanged by the Flex client and the Java server.
Flex 3,LiveCycle Data Services and Adobe AIR sessions at the MAX 2007 Conference
On the Adobe MAX 2007 blog has been published the pre-conference training day, a full-day hands-on training sessions. These are the tracks dedicated to Flex 3, Adobe AIR and LiveCycle Data Services
Quality Control phase of enterprise Flex application with the The Flex Automation Framework
When you develop enterprise flex application the Quality Control phase (QC) is a fundamental aspect of each software development activity. Flex and the LiveCycle Data Services ES include The Flex Automation Framework. The Flex Automation Package provides developers with the ability to create Flex applications that use the Automation API. You can use this API to create automation agents or to ensure that your applications are ready for testing. In addition, the Flex Automation Package includes support for Mercury QuickTest Professional (QTP) automation tool.
LiveCycle Data Services ES 2.5 Documentation
Past week the Flex Doc Team at Adobe released the documentation for LiveCycle Data Services Es 2.5. The documentation was realeased in livedocs format so you were able to read on the web. Randy Nielsen, the Learning Resources Manager at Adobe Systems Incorporated, send me an email to point me out that the LiveCycle Data Services Developer’s Guide has been released in PDF format.
