RE: [flexcoders] open sourced Flex app

[Franck de Bruijn]

Since you are writing an open source application, I would stick as much as possible to open source frameworks and tools.   I’m currently prototyping a Flex 2 application on the following software stack: Frontend: Flex 2 Interface towards backend: Web services with Apache Axis Middleware: Hibernate Wiring: plain java, but this is not so modern. So, maybe you will prefer Spring. Database: any one you prefer. For the prototype I’m using HSQLDB. Building: Maven 2 Developing: Flex 2 Builder (standalone) and Eclipse WTP (unfortunately they do not work together yet)   For the build part I’m not satisfied yet. Maybe I’ll write my own Maven 2 plugin for Flex 2 applications. I’ll keep you posted on that.   People say that web services are the slowest alternative for interfacing, but I’m having very good experiences with it with respect to performance. Can anyone tell me why remoting (AMF framework?) is preferred? Does anyone have benchmarks on this?   Cheers, Franck   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas Knudsen Sent: dinsdag 3 januari 2006 15:41 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] open sourced Flex app   Ok, so I want to mess around building something to let everyone in the community have.  Using Flex 2....what to use on the backend?  With DAO Factories, I suppose any back end DB will do, eh?  start with MySQL and fill in for others.  Now what about the middle ware?  Java, ColdFusion, etc...????  What would be a good popular fit, eh?  Your thoughts? -- Douglas Knudsen http://www.cubicleman.com this is my signature, like it? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
