This book explains how to design, build and test the Flex Data Services and the
server-side Java stack of an application built with the Adobe Flash Platform.
Java EE technology such as Tomcat and Hibernate are covered in detail,
including reverse engineering ORM POJOs from a database schema, and creating a
schema from POJOs. Using the tools and techniques described in this book
series, one or two people can put together a client-server system that would
have required at least a dozen people ten years ago, in a similar time. What's
more, the software stack described in this book can support tens of thousands
of simultaneous users per server CPU, with excellent responsiveness, high
reliability and presentation-quality graphics.
Because access to remote data sources is part of many applications, the free
open source BlazeDS package is discussed with working code examples, as well as
its big brother, LiveCycle DS. This book also covers Hibernate, an
object-relational mapping technology and shows how it works with databases,
including reverse engineering ORM POJOs from a database schema, and creating a
schema from POJOs.
