Spring Flex
Spring BlazeDS Integration is a top-level Spring project, and a component of the complete Spring Web stack. This project's purpose is to make it easier to build Spring-powered Rich Internet Applications using Adobe Flex as the front-end client. It aims to achieve this purpose by providing first-class support for using the open source Adobe BlazeDS project and its powerful remoting and messaging facilities in combination with the familiar Spring programming model.
The Flex Addon for Spring Roo is a new component that raises the bar for productivity in building Flex clients backed by Spring BlazeDS Integration on the server-side. By utilizing the next-generation code-generation and management facilities of Spring Roo, it provides the fastest way to get up and running with a new Spring-based Flex project by letting developers focus on doing what they do best - write code.
