Re: [flexcoders] Question
Offering an argument from the other end of the spectrum, Java is free, but Java developers aren't, and development in Java often takes a *lot* longer than in CF. And you don't necessarily need a CF Enterprise license to develop in CF or to put an app in production. The Standard license is much less, i believe something like $1200, Developer version of CF is free, and there are plenty of hosting options available to fit any budget. In the long run, developing an app in Java can be MUCH more expensive than doing it in CF. That $7000 can easily become a drop in the bucket, so to speak, in certain circumstances. If you need the low level capabilities of Java for something, you can always drop down into Java to write them. When you don't, then CF development usually is much faster for a developer with comparable skills, especially these days with the set of frameworks that have been developed for CF ... Reactor, ColdSpring, Model-Glue, Fusebox, etc. Bottom line, depending on the application, you can use both Java and ColdFusion on a CF server and reap the benefits of both. Rapid development with CF, and low level functionality with Java on the (mostly rare) occasions when you need it.

As for any of the other competitors I cannot say.

Re: [flexcoders] grief with Flexbuilder2 CF FB extentions
Try unzipping the extensions and then point the installer to the unzipped folder. That worked for me at least.

Re: [flexcoders] Error - ColdFusion/Flex Application Wizard
Hi Bill, thanks for responding. > Are there any fields in the tables which are the basis for the Users_MasterDetail object that are not numeric, date, or string in nature? Can you tell me ... ? Nope. It's a MySql 4.0 DB. CREATE TABLE `User` ( `userId` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `username` varchar(20) default NULL, `password` varchar(20) default NULL, `firstName` varchar(20) default NULL, `lastName` varchar(20) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`userId`) ) TYPE=MyISAM; Now what i've done in the meantime is download the latest build of the App Wizard ... i had one dated the 28th of April, now the zip is dated 15th May. I got it to work against a few simple forms. I did have to touch the UserDAO for some really odd reason, changing : insert into User(username, password, firstName, lastName) values ( to : insert into User( username, password, firstName, lastName) values ( Then it started working. After i added a little complexity, more forms with ComboBoxes that had selects driven from a query, it's not generating the app properly any more again. :-( I'm getting a 404 on main.html when i try and run it. I'm going to back up one step at a time and see if i can get it to work again on a simpler version. I suspect the combo box queries, because i've given it 2 attributes in the query, the id and the name, like you would in an HTML select. I don't know if the generator is sophisticated enough to know how to handle that. Bill Sahlas wrote: First, it means that the wizard didn’t complete generating all the files needed for the application. Even though there are references to the “generated.views.masterdetail:Users_MasterDetail” in the navigation.mxml file, it wasn’t created for some reason. To figure that out we can look at what tables and column data types are being referenced. Are there any fields in the tables which are the basis for the Users_MasterDetail object that are not numeric, date, or string in nature? Can you tell me what the data structures look like (generated sql scripts)?
