Flamingo - brings Flex to your Seam app

[artempl]

With Exadel Flamingo, Flex can be easily glued to Seam.

Exadel Flamingo provides a set of commands that help a developer to generate initial code. To bootstrap a project, a developer answers a few questions in a wizard. Based on these questions, a standard project is generated. Flamingo is based on Maven, therefore the new application is generated according to Maven conventions, making it easy for people familiar with Maven to navigate through the project.

The generated code provides all the necessary plumbing and connectivity from Flex to Seam. A developer only needs to focus on business functionality; Flamingo takes care of the rest. All communications between the user interface and Seam components are taken care of by Exadel Flamingo.

Exadel Flamingo also provides a set of Flex components that make it extremely convenient to support specific features of Seam on the client side.

Hello -

Just received Exadel's March newsletter and was reading about Flamingo.  I'm considering taking another look at Flex/Seam integration and was curious if your team and the Granite Data Services (http://www.graniteds.org) team are working together on this framework?

Regards,

Todd

Flamingo has own approach to Flex integration. It has a set of custom client components which makes flex developers life easy :). Another feature is Appgenerator, which generates mavenized CRUD Seam application with Flex front-end.

Does it include seam conversation scope support?

[artempl]

Current release doesn't. It will be encluded in one of the future releases.

Why is Flamingo released under GPL and not under LGPL?

[pmuir]

Good question...

[aburak]

The latest 1.5.0 of Exadel Flamingo with added conversations and JavaFX support for Seam is released under LGPL.

It also has some new features like dynamic finders and updaters.
