Yeah, no one has become an evenagelist there, and
those that have vouch for Laszlo. It's extremely frustrating repeating
myself to those people, but it has to be done. The problem is, my
background is Flash, not Flex, so I'm not taken seriously by a lot of Java
folks, nor am I involved in their community. Someone needs to take the
ball.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] open sourced Flex app Hi
Douglas, Exactly the same reason
why I chose for web services. Its standards based, so youre free to go on the
back end. I dont know what you
exactly meant with staying clear of frameworks, but I think using Hibernate is
a safe bet or maybe later EJB3 (which should be an easy migration). Im
personally not a fan of Spring, but its extremely hot in the Java community.
Im afraid that if youre not using Spring, you will not be taken
seriously. This brings me to
another point. I personally have a JAVA background and I follow the community
sites www.javalobby.org and www.theserverside.com closely. What I
notice is that Flex is not considered a serious alternative for building Rich
Internet Applications. A search on flex does not result in many hits. Worse,
people who vouch for flex are often barked at shamelessly.
I dont know your
intentions behind your idea of starting an open source flex project. Could you
tell us more? To me it would be a great idea showing the JAVA community that
there is a much cleaner and leaner alternative for web applications than this
JSF/AJAX/_javascript_ stuff that is getting so much attention. One of the key
success factors would be to have your back-end state-of-the-art, showing the
JAVA people that you know your stuff. That means IMHO that you need to use
popular frameworks like Hibernate and Spring. Does anyone have an
explanation why Flex is not taken seriously in JAVA land? Is there something I
should know J? Cheers, Franck From:

ware. Probably stay clear -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com
