Hey, I looked through the pages but did not try the sample. My $0.02 on code generators has always been that once you understand the entirety of the code languages you are working with, they can be a great way to save time and effort. But early in the learning process they tend to cause one more harm then help as you don't grasp a lot of the W's (where, what, why) the assisting elements are doing for you. This can make debugging a bigger challenge, and integration of this to a more vanilla approach can be quite cumbersome.
The same holds true for me with Flex / backend technologies...I'd like to understand all the elements that code generator produces and be able to produce them myself. I have made some headway in that department using AMFPHP as the remote object gateway, PHP to make the SQL calls to a mySQL database. I put a blog post together covering the initial efforts and results I got: http://www.oastler.ca/index.php/development/flex/20061213_flex-middleware-success-amfphp-and-mysql/ Thanks for the thoughts, Jamie --- In [email protected], "greg h" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Jamie, > > Have you seen this sample app? > > Automatically generating code for Flex 2 data access > http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/daoflex.html > > I believe it may cover your original request for an example "incorporating a > mySQL database via JDBC with java remote objects to a Flex project, > preferably involving FDS". > > Whether or not it qualifies as a "simplistic example" I can not say :-) > > Please post back whether you find the sample app above helpful. > > (fyi ...
