Tuscany and Adobe Flex
Our application uses Adobe Flex for the UI. I've been trying to use this with Tuscany. We use Livecycle Data Services for communication between the UI and the server. What I did was create a Tuscany implementation of the FlexFactory interface. When an RPC call comes from Flex, the FlexFactory creates an ScaDomain and loads the services from there. This is very similar to what we previously did for Spring. This appears to work. However what I'm wondering is, "is this the best way to approach this problem?" Any other Flex users out there? If so how do you handle communication with the server?
Thanks,
Phil

The BlazeDS license is LGPL v3, which is not acceptable for an Apache
project, as Raymond noted.
Adobe Flex SDK is covered by an Adobe Flex SDK license which would not
be acceptable, either. Though some portions of the SDK are MPL, but
that doesn't really help.

Hosting outside of Apache would be the only option to directly include
BlazeDS...

Looks interesting, and checking the BlazeDS license, looks like parts
of it is available under MPL which is acceptable by Apache, so it's
worth investigating the possibilities.
Another option is to make this available in a google code project ?
Looks like Ant has already created one for this purpose [2]

One of my colleagues did a binding.flex implementation also. I'll see if I can dig up the code.

Hi,
This is very interesting. It would be really nice to integrate Tuscany with Flex BlazeDS so that the SCA services can be consumed by Flex. The BlazeDS license (LGPL) is probably an issue though.
BTW, your prototype seems to be a good starting point. The other thing is to add binding.flex so that we can expose SCA services for Flex.
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi Phil
nice , seems existing. can u elaborate how you did that ?
wot is the outcome of the server? .... i feel best approach is
implementation of XML RPC, SOAP . These are easy frm Flex point of view.
Regards
Raj
