RE: [flexcoders] AJAX to Flex conversion?

[Carson Hager]

Unfortunately, the way ThinkCAP works, it won't be that easy. The backend and frontend are very tightly coupled and all calls are routed throug a controller of sorts that deals with security, page context, etc., etc.  The best bet here is to attempt to extract the backend business logic and re-expose as pure web services but the business logic is very coupled to the ThinkCAP Java framework on the backend as well.     Carson ____________________________________________   Carson Hager Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com   Email:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office:  866-CYNERGY Mobile: 1.703.489.6466     From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tracy Spratt Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 4:29 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] AJAX to Flex conversion? It seems to me that if the AJAX app is architected to have a clean division between the business logic tier and the user interface, then only the _javascript_/DHTML part would need to be replaced.  The Flex replacement would be able to use RPC HTTPService (XML over HTTP) calls to access the business logic tier without any modifications at all to that part of the app. I don’t know anything about “ThinkCap”.

Let’s say that you have been developing an AJAX application (using ClearNova’s ThinkCap) and you are displeased with the result.  What options might one have to convert that AJAX application over to Flex?  Is there a way to convert an AJAX application over to Flex?  What other RIA platforms could be used that would allow the AJAX work that has been done to not be a total loss?    My sense is that conversion to Flex is a long shot, but I thought I would ask anyway.
