Updated Flex-SDK to use apache-flex blazeds :-)
Hi guys :-)
I just updated the build job on build.apache.org to keep the latest successful artifacts and then the flex-sdk build to download and use that library instead of the one of the Adobe Flex SDK. I did try to do it correct and gave the build a spin after that. All seems to have went well. But as I'm not that familiar with the inner workings of the ANT build I don't quite know which targets to run in order to test everything. Could you please give my changes a spin?

Right, without it, FB can’t run the wizards. Is that going to be a
problem for acceptance by the customers of the Apache Flex version?

I could post the jar somewhere we could get it, but it would still be
under Adobe licensing so we don’t get the benefit of dropping a
proprietary dependency. I’m trying to gauge how hard to go looking for
source.

It not essential no, but some people may want it.

I think that only required for the wizards so we can probably do with out it.
It used to be found here:
http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/blazeds/trunk/lib/flex-rds-server.jar
Now password protected as I can't access it. Perhaps the code is in that trunk somewhere?

Have to admit that I have never used the opt packages.
BlazeDS itself is in the 4 packages core, common, proxy and remoting. The opt packages seem to be some sort of convenience classes for linking the tomcat4 login mechanism with that of BlazeDS. I disabled those modules for "jrun", "oracle", "weblogic" and "websphere" as you need the core libs of these containers in order to build and these are not available publically.
The WAR was probably the tournkey option, that outputs a war archive to immediate experimenting. I think this must have been part of that insanely old BlazeDS release. If we need it we would probably have to re-implement it.
Regarding the flex-rds-server.jar ... I have never heard of this nor have I ever had to use it. Could this eventually be a leftover from the livecycle server which had the "realtime" stuff in it?
But I thought the Flex SDK only relied on the flex-messageing-commons or core and not the rest ... I never even knew that this rds-jar existed.

Betreff: Re: Updated Flex-SDK to use apache-flex blazeds :-)
I spent the afternoon trying to get Apache Flex BlazeDS to work with Adobe
Flash Builder 4.7 and Apache Flex SDK 4.13.0.
I know very little about BlazeDS. My goal was to follow this article [1]
I eventually got it to work, but I hit 3 things:
1) Neither the Ant build on apacheflexbuilds nor the Maven build on
builds.a.o seems to be creating a .WAR file. Do we need to do that?
2) The donated code does not contain the source or binary for
flex-rds-server.jar. I could not find the source in the Adobe repos. It
isn’t even in the Flash Builder code base. It is used for Flash Builder
integration. I don’t know if the other IDEs use it or not. You don’t
need it to build projects, just for the Data stuff in FB. Question: Do
we want to own it? I think it might be an Eclipse plug-in. Can we ship
an Apache Flex BlazeDS without it?
3) The artifacts on builds.a.o is not creating jars in modules/opt which I
seemed to need to get BlazeDS to start up in Tomcat 6. Does that make
sense? The Ant build on apacheflexbuilds does create modules/opt jars in
its artifacts.
To me, issues 1 and 3 are related to the discussion of how to do Maven
builds on builds.a.o. Should the build.a.o scripts just re-package
artifacts from apacheflexbuilds? Does that even make sense? Are WAR
files typical Maven artifacts? Should only the Ant build create the WAR
file?
