RE: [flexcoders] Interesting new product for Flex

[Dirk Eismann]

Basically, what they offer is a solution that automates the process of mapping an existing ER model to Java classes, AS classes and all the stuff needed to do create, retrieve, update and delete operations on your data. The Swing-like app you mention is a standalone tool that does all the magic (creating MXML, AS and Java files from model files) plus it provides a WYSIWYG editor that allows to create Flex application by drag & drop operations (i.e. mapping some server side data object to a data grid).   I haven't used it yet but they showcased their product to us some days ago.   Dirk. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Brueckmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 2:26 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Interesting new product for Flex I’m a little confused about what it is they’re offering.  Are they developing an application for you in Flex?  Nowhere on their site do they actually use the words Macromedia Flex when talking about the applications they’re building…it appears once in one of their QuickTime slides as an image plucked from the Macromedia website and that’s it…they reference ActionScript and MXML but never Flex, but it’s clearly what they’re using in their RIA examples they have on their site, yet all their examples in their slides show a Swing-like application.  Very confusing.  What is the trial application you download from them?  How they charge so cheaply for a Flex-built application?  It was my understanding you have to own a license per application if you’re a contracting company that builds these Flex apps for your customers… Robert L.

Beside the fact that our customer is not very IT experienced we searched for a product which does not require much IT expierence on our side either. What we found is Force4 on www.more4flex.com which completly satisfies our requirements. It seems to be very new and we had our first tests with a Beta Version which already run stable. Now the final version is available and they have improved a lot (and also changed a lot :) compared to the beta Version. Does someone else has heard of this product or has any expierence with it?
