Cairngorm 2 AS3VOGenerator

The Cairngorm AS3VOGenerator has been updated to use the new Cairngorm class paths.
(i.e. com.adobe.cairngorm…..)

Here is the original updated post:

AS3VOGenerator Update

I have updated the Cairngorm and non Cairngorm AS3VOGenerators to implement IUID as well as the neccessary getters and setters for a new private var _uid.  This var is neccessary for components extending from listClasses to function properly when the data is bound to dataGrids, etc.

In addition to the import statement and implementation of IUID, ere is what was added:
private var _uid:String;
public function get uid():String{
return this._uid
}
public function set uid(uid:String):void{
this._uid = uid;
}

Here is the AS3VOGererator and install directions for Hibernate Synchrinizer:

Installing AS3VOGenerator

This template should be used with Eclipse 3.1 or higher and Hibernate Synchronizer 3.1.1.

Open eclipse and go window -> preferences -> Hibernate Synchronizer -> Templates
Hit New and enter template name AS3VOGeneratorCairngorm or AS3VOGenerator depending on which you choose below.  You can install both as long as they are named differently.
Click OK and paste the following into your editor:

Enter a description if you want and then save the file

Now right click on your project and click properties
Select Hibernate Synchronizer and click on Template and then new
Select the template from the list and paste ${class.ValueObjectClassName}.as as the Output name
Browse to the place you want the files created
Check the overwrite box and click save

Now when you synchronize your hbm.xml files you will get both java file and AS3 as file generation.

Serverless Flex

This exciting information was officially posted by Mike Chambers a few days ago on his blog where he states that as suspected the new Flex will come in a number of flavors ranging from serverless deployment through Zorn to enterprise Flex server deployment.  Obviously there will be a much richer feature set for the deployment through their enterprise server licence, but it is great to see that we can now build, compile to swf and deploy without the need of the flex server using the new Zorn eclipse plugin.  This will have a tremendous impact on the number of flex applications and developers.  Now the only question that remains is how much will we have to shell out for Zorn.

Bye Bye Flex Builder

Macromedia has announced that they will be joining the eclipse foundation and will create a plugin codenamed Zorn for editing mxml flex files.  Official press release. I welcome this with open arms as I am already using eclipse for my flex and actionscript development using OxygenXML and the AS2 eclipse plugin.
