Re: CF/Flex wizards (was Re: [flexcoders] Re: any disadvantages to using FDS + CF vs. FDS + Java?)

Speaking of these wizards, how can we modify the templates they are
generated from?
How difficult would it be to make them scriptable or add the ability
for them to act on mulitple tables?

  Just wanted to jump in here and say that using ColdFusion does have
  some advantages over Java.  For one thing, not having to write Java
  code to do JDBC manipulation of your data is a big one.  We believe
  that for RAD development, CFML (especially given the Flex Builder
  wizards we provide)  will get you up and running much quicker.

  A CF solution should scale very well, as you are offloading the
  processing of the DB operations on to the CF server.  You do pay a
  small price in moving the result sets from CF to Flex over a network
  if CF and Flex are on different machines.
 
  We fully support the change object model of writing Assemblers as
  ColdFusion Components.  The one thing we do not support writing in
  CFML is the 'server push' API which allows a Java application running
  in the Flex web application to 'push' changes to the data in to the
  Flex managed result sets.  We are currently evaluating supporting this
  in a future release.
 
  I hope this (biased) information helps.
