New Spring/BlazeDS Integration Test Drive

January 27, 2009 By 63 Comments

UPDATE: I posted a new version of the Test Drive for the M2 build of the Spring / BlazeDS integration project here. Please use that version.

SpringSource recently announced the Spring / BlazeDS Integration project. You can read more about the project and download the bits at http://www.springsource.org/spring-flex.

To help developers get started with the integration, I put together a new “Spring / BlazeDS Test Drive”. This Test Drive consists of a minimal version of Tomcat with BlazeDS and the “Spring / BlazeDS integration” preconfigured and ready to use. It also includes a series of samples running “out-of-the-box” that should allow you to get up and running integrating Flex (and Adobe AIR) with Spring in minutes.

Installation Instructions:

  1. Download the Spring / Flex TestDrive here: http://coenraets.org/downloads/spring-flex-testdrive.zip
  2. Unzip it in your root directory
  3. Navigate to /spring-flex-testdrive/tomcat/bin and start Tomcat (for instance: catalina run)
  4. Open a browser and access http://localhost:8080
  5. Follow the instructions

As always, I’d would love to hear your feedback and your ideas to improve this Test Drive.

Flex-Spring Integration Webinar Next Thursday (January 22nd)

January 15, 2009 By 10 Comments

SpringSource recently announced Spring BlazeDS Integration, a new open source project to provide tight integration between Spring and Adobe BlazeDS, Adobe’s open source server-based Java remoting and Web messaging technology. This collaboration will make it easy for Java developers to create enterprise-class rich Internet applications (RIAs) using Adobe Flex software, a cornerstone of the Adobe Flash Platform, and Spring, the de facto standard for enterprise Java. In this session developers will learn the basics of the integration and will build an application that leverages this new technology.

I will co-present this webinar with Jeremy Grelle, SpringSource Senior Software Engineer and lead of the Spring BlazeDS Integration. You can register here.
