Greg Wilson and Damien Mandrioli are also blogging about the new Tour de Flex real time dashboard today. Greg is the inspiration behind everything “Tour de Flex”, including the idea of the dashboard. He has the story behind the genesis of this project on his blog. Damien (from IBM/ILOG) did a fantastic job at building [...]
I’ll be presenting two sessions at Flex 360 Indianapolis next week.
In the “Flex / BlazeDS Integration Project” session (Monday), I’ll provide a brief introduction of the Spring framework and the “Dependency Injection” pattern, followed by a deep dive into the brand new “Spring / BlazeDS integration project”.
My second session (on Wednesday) is “Model Driven [...]
I made some additional changes to the Spring BlazeDS Integration (RC1) Test Drive:
The Test Drive now includes an annotation-based configuration sample (the Company Manager sample). Spring annotations such as @Service, @RemotingDestination, @Autowired, @RemotingInclude, and @RemotingExclude make it really easy to configure your beans and make them available through Remoting. As an example, here is the [...]
UPDATE: An updated version of this Test Drive is available here
SpringSource just released the RC1 build for the Spring / BlazeDS integration project. The key new feature in RC1 is the integration of the BlazeDS Message Service.
I updated my Spring BlazeDS Integration Test Drive to showcase the messaging integration.
In addition to Remoting and Security samples, [...]

You can now download the source code here.
As a reminder, you can watch a screencast showing the key features of the application here (go [...]

I updated my Salesbuilder sample Flex/Adobe AIR application with a couple of new interesting features:
Ribbit integration: allows you to make and receive calls from within the application
KapIt Visualizer component to represent the org chart
ILog calendar component
A typical source of confusion when developers start working with RemoteObject or other BlazeDS/LCDS related classes is where and most importantly *when* the configuration of your services is being read.
The question often arises after an application stops working when you move it to another server. This is one of the most frequently asked questions related [...]
In part 1 of this series, we saw how Flex AS allows you to externalize the configuration and the wiring of objects. In part 2, we discussed how you can “autowire” view properties. We intentionally kept the example simplistic by directly injecting the contact RemoteObject into the views. In real life, however, you generally don’t [...]
