Considering how easy it is to manipulate xml files, it is really not that hard to add a step in the build process that automatically updates all your xml config files.
Just a thought --Kelly -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of busitech Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 2:30 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] get rid of xml configuration in FDS, use JNDI I am evaluating FDS 2.0 for the first time, and am quite disappointed with the requirement of every single "destination" possible to be added to an XML file before it can be used... Adobe calls this software "designed for the enterprise." However, with enterprise comes large applications, with hundreds or even thousands of objects, function calls, etc. I dread the thought of tediously adding all of our entities to an XML file, and maintaining another copy of function prototypes and API definition... We have developed a very nice workflow with Flash Remoting. We write EJB's, which get dropped into the server, which makes them immediately available to Flash Remoting through JNDI. It seems that FDS does not use JNDI? So another quasi-client layer for doing lookup and function calls is required? I see some nice features like data push (very cool), data queuing/sync for occasionally available services. But I'm not sure I'm willing to give up our efficient workflow for these features. I'm curious what others think about the scalability of having to lay out all of these XML files when developing an application. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
