CFUnited - ColdSpring for Flex Applications - Chris Scott

Chris Scott gave a very detailed review of ColdSpring and how to use it with Flex. Unfortunately there was so much content I did not get most of the detail in my notes so I just have the bits that really interested me here.

ColdSpring Objects have been designed to be able to serialise and can be moved easily to flex.

LightPost is an example blog application has been written to show ColdSpring and how to use it with with Fusebox and ModelGlue. Chris is writing a version for Flex and will publish it soon.

ColdSpring creates a proxy which can expose as many or as few methods from an object as required.

The ColdSpring AOP framework gives you the way to create new objects with same functionality as existing objects.

You have to load the bean factory in application.cfc in the onApplicationStart event.

Using a logging advisor is a great way to debug ColdSpring objects when calling them from Flex.
