Does anyone out there have some simplistic examples of incorporating a mySQL database via JDBC with java remote objects to a Flex project, preferably involving FDS? Super++ bonus points if it uses myEclipse too!
My googling leads to quite a few things that have bits and pieces but they all incorporate what seems like a lot of overhead (persistence layers like Hibernate, Spring java framework, factories?, etc). I haven't done much of any java programming before so perhaps that green element is adding to the confusion. For example purposes, I have four main cases of functionality I'd like to get my head around: 1) Login - User provides username / password, system provides a unique ID from the database if they are correct, or a null / error code if not. 2) Register - Validated user input passes object to create new user. 3) Display Contacts - Users unique ID passed to method to return complete contact details. 4) Edit Contact Info - User unique ID and updated object data provided to back-end for update. Returns updated contact. I've tried PHP / RPC-XML and can get some functionality out of that, but the java remote object route sounds to be the 'more better' solution and also something a larger % of our company can support once we get past the 'stumbling in the dark R&D' phase. I understand a lot of the reasons for OO to decouple functionality to the extent that they do, but when I compare what ASP / PHP / etc of non-RIA applications used to handle with database connectivity right in the code, it seems like there is a heck of a lot of overhead just to accomplish basic tasks.
