Hello People,
I'm the throws of planning a rebuild on one of my applications, which will be pretty much from the ground up. One of the prospects for the application is to have a FLEX front end, in addition to a standard XHTML based UI. I know next to nothing about flex at the moment and plan to work on my skills whilst I progress the project along. The thing that troubles me at the moment is planning for that integration from a ColdFusion point of view. I will be developing the app with an MVC design, what steps should I be taking to ensure that a FLEX UI can be implemented simply over the top at a later date? Does it require any special requisites of my Controller or Model? Or can I leave those as standard and simply replace the view layer with the FLEX base? I suppose this question really stems from a lack of knowledge of FLEX and the way in which it interacts with the ColdFusion app, I mean, can FLEX handle and deal with standard data types like structures, arrays and queries? Or should I be looking to output all data as XML? Perhaps in a separate controller/proxy layer, so both the XHTML and FLEX are working from a different set of controller API's once outputting standard CF data types and the other publishing xml? Thanks chaps, I know it's a bit of an open ended question but I wasn't to try and get a feel for things and perhaps learn a little from your personal experience of how this stuff works, I really am very keen to push FLEX forward in my applications.
