I updated my Real Time Trader Desktop for Android sample application to work with the latest AIR for Android build (8/26/2010). To make it easier to find the latest version of the application, I also created a project page for the application where you will always be able to download the lastest build. That way you won’t have to skim through blog posts to make sure you found the latest one.
Both the apk file and the source code are available for download on the project page.
UPDATE: This version of the Test Drive is now obsolete. I posted a new version of the Test Drive for the RC1 build of the Spring / BlazeDS integration project here.
I updated my Test Drive for the M2 build of the Spring / BlazeDS integration project.
The Test Drive now includes a sample demonstrating the integration with Spring Security (the key new feature in M2). The Spring configuration file has also been updated to use the new simplified XML-namespace-based configuration.
As always, I’d love to hear your feedback and your ideas to improve this Test Drive.

Using Adobe Flex Builder 4 and LCDS “Next”, you will be able to build data-driven applications using a Model-Driven Development approach. In this Adobe TV episode, I give a sneak peek of this new feature.
The 2009 edition of the Tour of California starts tomorrow. For the third consecutive year, you will be able to follow the race live using the Adobe Tour Tracker.
Read the press release here.
I wrote about the initial implementation of the LCDS backend back in 2007. This write-up is now a little dated but still provides a high level overview of how LCDS is being used.
Start the Adobe Tour Tracker.
As you probably already know, AIR 1.5 is now available. New features include database encryption, Flash Player 10 support, and an updated version of WebKit.
I updated my Salesbuilder sample application to leverage the AIR 1.5 capabilities. Salesbuilder 1.5 leverages the new database encryption feature to allow you to secure your local database.
The first time you start Salesbuilder, the application will generate the encrypted database on your local file system. Salesbuilder implements the key generation approach described in the section Using encryption with SQL databases in the manual Developing Adobe AIR Applications. The encryption key is based on a password provided by you and a SALT generated by the system.
You can install the new version and download the source code here.
A basic script explaining how to use the application is available here.
I will demonstrate some new and really exciting features of LiveCycle Data Services “Next” tomorrow (Monday), as part of my session called “Introduction to BlazeDS and LiveCycle Data Services ES”. I hope to see you there if you are interested in Data Services for Flex.

When using the LCDS data management service, developers usually create a custom assembler for each destination, or use the Hibernate assembler if they happen to use Hibernate as their persistence framework. Other developers don’t use the data management service at all because of its perceived complexity.
The Data Management Service provides a set of low level APIs on top of which you can build your own higher level / higher productivity framework. The Hibernate assembler provides an example of a “generic assembler”, but you can also create your own. When used in this fashion, the Data Management Service can provide, by far, the most productive way to build data-driven applications.
To illustrate this point, I have been showing a demo at a few conferences this year, and I finally decided to package it. The demo combines a generic assembler and the runtime configuration feature of LCDS to provide a zero (server-side) code, zero configuration strategy to build data-driven applications. The demo goes like this:
I recently posted an example of a “Live Help / Call Center” application built with Flex and BlazeDS. A number of you have asked me for the source code. So here it is…

I recently posted a number of examples (Yahoo Maps Collaboration and Collaborative Data Entry) showing how to use the BlazeDS / LCDS Message Service to build collaborative applications. In this post, I’m extending the Collaborative Forms application to provide an example of a more complete and real life “Live Help / Call Center” application.
I have often felt that we needed a more real-life/complex sample application to adequately demonstrate LiveCycle Data Services, and specifically the Data Management Service. So, I wrote a new version of Salesbuilder that uses LCDS to persist data at the server side. “Salesbuilder LCDS” demonstrates advanced LCDS features such as associations, lazy loading, etc.
This application will also be packaged as a sample in the next version of LiveCycle Data Services currently in private beta.
