This webinar deep dives into the new Adobe Flex and Google Web Toolkit (GWT) scaffolding options that are available in MyEclipse for Spring 8.6. We’ll cover the following:

– How does it work? See how to quickly generate working GWT and Flex applications from existing DB tables, Java Beans and JPA entities in a matter of minutes.
– What gets generated? One of the biggest learning curves is understanding what gets generated – we’ll do a deep dive into the generated artifacts to help users understand what exactly comes out of MyEclipse for Spring.
– How does it compare to other GWT/Flex scaffolding technologies?

One of the masterminds behind the GWT+Spring scaffolding support in MyEclipse for Spring wrote this article that describes the design philosophy and the GWT application architecture. The article includes some great sample Java/GWT code and a great explanation of how all the pieces fit together. As it turns out, it’s not magic after all.

One of the core capabilities in MyEclipse for Spring, scaffolding generates ready-to-run applications from existing artifacts such as database schemas, Java Beans and JPA entities.

New Spring developers are using scaffolding to generate full Java applications and examples that follow Spring best practices, while experienced Spring developers are doing in minutes what used to take hours or days.

This webinar takes a detailed look at how scaffolding technology is revolutionizing application development.  We’ll cover the following:

* What is scaffolding? See how to quickly generate working applications in a matter of minutes.
* The use cases behind application scaffolding. Who’s using it and why?
* What’s coming in MyEclipse for Spring 8.6?  Spring MVC scaffolding is just the beginning.  See how to scaffold Spring Web Flow, Adobe Flex, iPhone and GWT applications with the click of a button.

June 2010 Update: This original blog post was written prior to the release of Spring Flex Scaffolding support in MyEclipse for Spring 8.6. Wanna build an entire Spring Flex CRUD app using your tables or code in a matter of seconds?  This tutorial is now productized in the MyEclipse for Spring 8.6 release.  Download and try it today! Check out the what’s generated blog or the getting started video.  Or, keep reading…

A subtle, but powerful, side effect of having Spring generation capabilities with MyEclipse for Spring is the fact that creating Spring BlazeDS Flex apps is easier and faster than ever.

This blog post covers the basics to getting started with a spring-flex project in MyEclipse for Spring.  The spring-flex framework uses Adobe’s open source BlazeDS project, which is the remoting and messaging foundation for connecting a Flex-based front-end to Java back-end services.  MyEclipse for Spring accelerates the Spring development by providing bootstrapping, scaffolding, and visual editing capabilities for all the necessary Spring configuration files code to support a ready to run Spring MVC application.  The tutorial then goes on to tweak the MyEclipse for Spring generated configuration files to support Flex Remoting to produce a simple list view that calls the MyEclipse for Spring generated Spring service.

This blog is divided into 2 parts:

Part 1: Setup & CRUD
Part 2: Adding Spring Flex
