Flex and Seam Integration

[monkeyden]

Granite Data Services, an open source alternative to Flex Data Services, now has support for Seam. I've just installed their Seam project skeleton so I haven't tested much of it yet but, suffice to say, several of us have been waiting for something like this. They also have connectors for POJO, Spring and EJBs as RemoteObjects.

Flex removes the need for some of the great web-tier features of Seam, but presumably we can use all of the middleware features. Have a look and comment.

Thanks for the info!

To expand on this, for the past week I have been developing an eventual production application using Granite Data Services and Seam. Though the starter project doesn't look much like a seam-gen project (but it's workable), there are just a few steps you need to take to get everything working.


Here are some development notes I took down in process:

With the release of BlazeDS (an OSS offering of Flex Data Services), I don't know the future of GDS, but it works well for now.

Feel free to post questions/comments here or by email. I'm happy to see this marriage garner more support.

We should have a page up on seamframework.org soon.
