I have been tasked with building a rather robust Flex application quickly (isn't that the way it always goes). For speed reasons, I would like to handle all of the backend and services interactivity with Farcry. I realize that this is not what Farcry was created for, but I think it should suit my needs well. Basically, the Farcry Admin interface will function as normal - this is where the site contributors will submit the data for the site. However, instead of the typical frontend - there will be a Flex application.
I can think of a couple of ways (but I need your input on what would be best): 1. Create a Gateway CFC to serve all of the information to the Flex Application. This would involve no "Core" modification (I think). However, this could become a massive CFC - with a function needing to be written for every specific task "getItems", "saveItems", "getOtherItems", etc... 2. Extend every needed type (as well as custom types) and change the "access" for each CFC to be "remote". I also would create a "value object" in AS3 for each item to provide Strong Typing between Flex and CF. 3. Hack the "core" to allow remote access to basic types and fourQ. This is not a preferred method, obviously. I would be interested in everybody's input on this one. Thanks in advance.
