am more concerned with Adobe making enough money of LCDS Hi Jochem, I
agree 100%, it should not be given away. A lower price does make it
available to a larger market. For example, if a copy of LCDS were: -

Good to hear from you, Jeff! We are saddened too. We are quite
passionate about LCDS, and always have been. We built somewhere in the
neighborhood of 14 test cases for LCDS 3.0 during the most recent
alpha/beta, so just in the last 6 months our investment has remained
quite significant even
João, would you (and others) mind heading over to Anil Channappa's
blog post http://anilchannappa.org/2009/11/20/lcds-3-0-released/
about this to voice your concern? There's a long string of comments
which are calling for lower pricing so LCDS can be successful. We are

Hi Tom, in the same vein, Adobe downgraded ColdFusion 9 to include BlazeDS
instead of LCDS.
Dunno about price, but have you looked at ColdFusion? Comes with LCDS and a
bunch of other stuff.
I'm curious how many of your projects were deployed into production using the
no-charge Single CPU (or the 100-user departmental) licenses of LCDS 2.x.
Since the release of LCDS 3.0, neither of these licenses exist. This leaves
our small business customers running in production using the
Hi Anatole,
I understand your sentiments, and I do understand and respect your
viewpoint. However Gordon has been kind enough to quickly make some
very clear statements for me regarding where we are at today, and as a
result, I'm making progress in solving the problem. I'm afraid that
In case of Actionscript double

Hi Anatole,
Did you note that FDS _truncates_ the actionscript double when
converting to BigDecimal? The extra information is lost in FDS.
So in this case, when the
Dear Group,
Java BigDecimal serialization to and from the Flash client appears
very broken. At best I'd say it's just incomplete. How do those of
you who write financial applications with currency or just simple
applications which need fixed decimal support deal with this?
For example, a
Gordon,
Thank you very much for the reply.
I'm very surprised that the decision was made at some point that
support for fixed decimal numbers was not absolutely an essential and
required part of the product and framework before release, when
targeting the enterprise customer.
We need an
Creating a new class is the good option. It would be time comsuming,
but would bring about the desired outcome, assuming everything could
be worked out.
If you read Gordon's post again, you will understand what I was not
too excited about. I was not objecting to creating a new class, nor
was
Hi Gordon, I appreciate your reply. Here's some more information for
you, which might help.
It looks to me like it's a one-way problem (client---server). Unless
the user is doing data-entry on the Flash client, and then saves the
data, this problem would appear not to effect them. This might
Has anyone found a way to get java 1.5 enums to serialize and
deserialize correctly through the flex server?

Something is new at Yahoo! Groups. Check out the enhanced email design.
We have come to the realization that Flex is designed to commit per
destination, and not per transaction.
The problem is that we have multiple destinations involved in a
logical transaction.
Have any of you encountered this problem, and decided to live with it,
or have you found a way to batch

I thought that the AsyncToken was always supposed to be available in
the ResultEvent?
After a call to createItem (on a DataService), the token data I set is
not in the token property of the event when the ResultEvent function
executes. The result is an AcknowledgeMessage.
But in the debug
We use Flex with a Java back end, and an O/R framework.
Our Java classes naturally contain properties which are relationships to other classes -
either one to many or many to one. Due to the fact that these relationships are so
intertwined, many given objects end up referencing a large
Hi Matt, thank you for the response, it was much appreciated. It
sounds like the framework for this feature is still being fleshed out.
As I think more about it, a lazy association is a lot like paging,
except that the first page needs to be retrieved when a control
becomes visible - just like
We understand that FDS supports lazy associations, but the documentation is unclear about
whether it's necessary and in what manner to partially initialize an array which is not empty
but in the lazy state, as opposed to the fully initialized state and the state of a truly empty

Since J2EE is already laden with all kinds of security functionality,
it is unnecessary to provide a second framework for security. It
increases the maintenance burden, and decentralizes the
administration of the security rules.
In addition, the type of security in this config file is too

We have ceased using standalone Hibernate in favor of EJB 3.0. We

provided much better by Annotations.
