Adobe Flex 4.0 Scaffolding

Overview

What is it?

Adobe Flex 4.0 Scaffolding generates ready-to-run Flex applications from existing artifacts such as database schemas, Java Beans and JPA entities. Within a matter of minutes, automatically create an application that contains a Flex front-end integrated with a Spring (Spring/JPA/Hibernate) back-end.

Key aspects of Adobe Flex 4.0 Scaffolding include:

  • The functionality is developed in Flex 3.5, but is compatible with Flex 4.0
  • The generated Flex applications are backed by a Spring Service, Spring DAO, and JPA layer
  • Supports scaffolding for all cardinalities within entity relationships
  • MyEclipse for Spring includes an Adobe Flex open source SDK
  • The generated applications support both Spring 2.5.x and Spring 3.0

Why use it?

Users who are new to Flex development can leverage the Adobe Flex 4.0 Scaffolding feature to quickly create their own contextual examples to reference while getting up to speed on Flex. Experienced Flex developers can use Adobe Flex 4.0 Scaffolding to generate the boilerplate code, allowing them to accomplish in minutes what used to take hours or days.
