OK I have been playing with flex for a couple of weeks now and we are planning on building out a rather large application in flex. The application is going to replace several current apps one of wich is web based the rest are not.
I am trying to get my head around the whole FDS thing. Our product will be a medical database. There are currently several different modules within the existing apps. The way I was planning this, each one would become its own flex app. the reason for this is to try and keep the swf file size somewhat reasonable. Currently our thinking is to connect to the data through web services sending XML data to a JSO file that then will communicate with a JAVA based API back to the MySQL backend. What, if anythign would FDS bring to the table? Still not sure how it is better than XML based solution. Also a concern with FDS is the pricing structure. will each FDS file be considered a different app, therefore each one require a license ($6k or $20k)? If each app was assigned only one processor on the VM based server would it be able to use FDS express?? I am just not seeing how FDS figures into the equasion. Is it faster? if so how? Does it save coding time? if so how? Does it eliminate need for a java API? if so how? Thanks for any help. ------------------------ Yahoo!
