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, the Test Drive now includes the following Messaging samples:
- Chat: Messaging basics
- Simple Data Push: A simple data push example
- Traderdesktop: A more sophisticated data push example showing how to use subtopics
- JMS Chat: A chat application using a JMS topic and exchanging messages with a Swing-based client
- Collaboration: An example showing how to use messaging to remotely drive another client’s application
Installation Instructions:
- Download the Spring / Flex TestDrive here: http://coenraets.org/downloads/spring-flex-testdrive-RC1.zip
- Unzip it in your root directory
- Navigate to /spring-flex-testdrive/tomcat/bin and start Tomcat (for instance: catalina run)
- Open a browser and access http://localhost:8080
- Follow the instructions
As always, I’d love to hear your feedback and your ideas to improve this Test Drive.
I will probably have another version next week with a couple of additional samples and more documentation for the Message Service, but I already wanted to make this version available to allow you to experiment RC1 samples.

Speaking at the New England Java User Group on Thursday (May 14th)
I will be joined by Mark Fisher from SpringSource and we will talk about Flex, Spring, BlazeDS and the integration of these technologies. Spring BlazeDS integration RC1 was released last week. One of the key features in RC1 is the integration of the Message service, and Mark is the lead developer on that feature.
I hope to see you there if you live in the greater Boston area.
