Maybe check out WebORB to see if it offers something to help. I dont use that product, so Im not sure. http://www.themidnightcoders.com/products.html
To handle the issue of updating stale data, comparing checksums is a common way to detect if anything on the server changed. SQL Server has great support for data checksums, if you happen to use that database. What is done in the ASP.NET framework is to keep track of both the values being edited and the new values. When an update is sent to the server, first verify that the values in the database match the values that you edited. Luckily Visual Studio can generate all this code for the developer, since it would be rather tedious to write yourself for a big form. SQL Server has good data change detection and alerting functionality that is intended to be used with the ASP.NET Web site caching functionality, but you can also use the same functionality with CF since it is handled by the database. None of these techniques will help solve the problem of data binding within flex on their own. LiveCycle would help, but given your situation, the hurdles you would need to jump in order to use that technology are fairly high. -Mike Chabot On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 12:53 PM, Dave Watts <dwa...@figleaf.com> wrote: > >> You bring up my concern that I didn't say at all... what if the data is >> changed via another >> person?
