Hello everyone. I have beeen following flex for quite sometime during the beta process. I am currently beginning work on a large scale web based application. We are basically migrating several different apps, some web based, some java based, to a new platform. We have spent the last couple of months exploring a JSP based solution running on Resin and connecting to a java based API with MySQL on the back end. I am now considering flex.
The app is a medical management based app that will consist of several different modules which all provide different, though related funcitonality. Things like browsing a medical claim, enter a medical bill. I have a couple questions. 1. IS flex well suited for large, multi module apps? Can it provide any real advantage or JSP? 2. Is the application just one big MXML file with many states or lots of little MXML files? Or a combination of some kind, such as each module is an MXML with different states? 3. IS FDS the best way to interact with a java API or are there other ways? 4. HOw do I run the app? Can it run on resin? I see it can be deployed as a WAR file but have yet to figure out how to do that. Sorry for all the questions. Flex looks very interesting, but I am nervous that the learning curve and not knowing the best way to do things will really hurt us. We have been building web based apps for years using HTML, CSS and JS and really have been able to do some really great things. But the idea of a single integrated front end dev app without worrying about browser issues is enticing. ------------------------ Yahoo!
