This was by far the session that I’ve attended. The guys at spring source have simplified Spring/Flex development using BlazeDS, no more remove-confi.xml file, no more coping java class files into the BlazeDS remote directory.
Java Objects are configured via service-config and called by Flex via IDs just like AS objects!
The next iteration of this framework will support RESTFul services.
Well I was looking forward to attending this session and coming back with some new BlazeDS functionality to turn me away from Ruby on Rails but, this session was a total disaster in my book. The computers in the lab had file permissions so about 80% of the attendees could not follow the lab demos.
Oh well still got another session dealing the BlazeDS, Flex, and Spring.
I was lucky enough to met David Tucker the Cairngorm guy that I told you guys about:
I was talking to someone about Flex development when he over heard our conversation and noticed the SCAD label on my pass. After he mentioned his name I was blown away, told him about how I re-wrote the bulletin board admin app after getting an understanding from his training videos and blog.
Got picks to show that this guy is not a figment of my imagination:
- Well after trying to “upload” my pic I give up….. and you can guess why….. no file uploading to secure sites using flash file uploader with safari. Just my luck.

This session was rather interesting, Adobe AFCS Hosted services (Adobe Flash Collaboration Service) allows Flex/Flash developers to share VoIP Audio, Webcam Video, Chat and other components to specific users (social sites). Adobe provides an API for registered developers and charge a small fee for hosting services. This seems to be similar to the Breeze application that we’ve used in the past.
