Flex application

With the Add-On a Flex application test can be planed and executed to simulate the true nature of Flex Applications.

Just as a JVM requires a main method, a Flex application requires a component that extends mx. core. Application as the entry point.

Using this code is simply a matter of matching the name of the bridge that you configured in the Flex application.

Judging from the documentation and examples, it should be a good competitor in the less-than-crowded market of Flex application frameworks.

Sending messages to your services with BlazeDS and JMS allows your Flex application to be developed more independently of the services.

Edit the settings, and paste the Flex application script tag of your Flex application as shown in figure 3.

You should be familiar with the code used to populate the global flexApp variable with a reference to the Flex application.

Mate is a Flex framework that leverages the tag-based MXML language to provide a map defining how the Flex application handles events.

The Flex application can access a Java object directly by remote invocation of a method on a designated object.

Keep all default settings for this Flex application and the build paths in the next two configuration pages.

To see this example in action, start the Flex application.

The variable txt is an object that represents the text input control with the ID txt_test from the Flex application.

To start recording on the Flex application, you will first enable and configure the application to be tested.

Using STOMP, you can communicate with a JMS message broker and receive the messages in your Flex application.

You set it inside the FlashVars parameter, and now the Flex application can retrieve it and locate the correct function to call.

The code snippet shown in listing 15 locates the Flex application and triggers the receiveData function.

The Flex application runs on the mashup page as shown in figure 4.

The code in Listing 10 sets the text input control in the Flex application to be invisible.

At run time, the wrapper iWidget constructs the object tag that loads the Flex application.

Finally, the Flex application is given a name for the bridge to use to access it: flex.

In addition, GDS also comes with an ActionScript3 code generator (Gas3), which greatly accelerates Flex application development.

The code in Listing 9 first alerts the original value of the text input control from the Flex application.

This Flex application contains a data grid with some preloaded data.

To display the Flex application, inject the object tag inside the view of the widget.

The value you put in the message box appears in the text box in the Flex application.

After creating a new Flex application, switch to the design view.

The Flex application also provides a form to update the data grid.

Second, once you've written a Flex application, you compile the code using the MXML compiler.

Record and play back a script on a Flex application.

Then, the wrapper iWidget forwards the data to the Flex application for further handling.

The services JMS implementation can even change vendors, and your Flex application will not have to change.
