Pro Flex on Spring

Pro Flex on Spring is about building rich Internet applications (RIAs) that combine the interactive
user experiences of Adobe Flex with the delivery of back-end services through the Spring
Framework. You’ll find all the details you’ll need to integrate these two technologies, ranging
from building custom reusable Flex components to using an object-relational mapping (ORM)
implementation to manage database connectivity. The examples in this book are taken from
real-world applications, culminating with a practical, large-scale, complete application that
applies all the main concepts covered in the book.
The ultimate goal of this book is to make you a more efficient developer using Flex and
Spring to deliver RIAs with a robust server-side implementation. I also detail how to achieve
reusability (via components) throughout your Flex applications. I focus on two key ideas: keep
it simple and keep it consistent. Along the way, you’ll learn best practices for architecting largescale
RIAs with Flex and Spring.
