Hi
I’m developing a Flex 2 app that uses CF 7.0.2 at the back-end. I’m going to outline my strategy for doing this and would appreciate any comments on whether you think I’m taking the right approach or not.
For some things we intend on using <mx:RemoteObject to directly interact with CFCs. Since Coldspring requires the use of the beanFactory to work I’m going to create a ServiceLayer / Façade that will then use Coldspring to interact with the underlying Gateways. This SL/F will be like the Coldspring Remoting feedviewer-remote example’s remoteFacade.cfc, however I don’t think it will need to make use of the flashMappings / flashUtilityService as CF 7.0.2 should take care of this automatically.
The major problem I can’t resolve is whether Coldspring can be used with the Flex Data Service Assembler. As calls from the Flex client using the FDS Assembler makes a call to Flex DS rather than directly to ColdFusion, I can’t see how Coldspring could be used here. Please tell me I’m wrong.
If anyone has any additional advice on how to get Flex, CF and Coldspring to play nicely, I’d love to here it.
