BlazeDS Alternative Granite Data Services 1.1.0 RC2 released
The Granite DS team of Frank Wolff and William Drai continue to upgrade their alternative to Adobe® LiveCycle® (Flex™ 2+) Data Services for J2EE application servers. The latest release can be downloaded from sourceforge here.
This new release brings several improvements and bug fixes (gas3, hibernate support, gravity, spring security), and one brand new feature (a servlet-based MXML/AS3 compiler, thanks to Sébastien Deleuze and Marvin Froeder). A full list of the latest fixes can be found here.
Granite DS is an alternative to Adobe LiveCycle, however it is not a drop-in replacement, you won’t be able to simply deploy a LiveCycle Data Services application into a Granite Data Services server without modifications. The main goal of this project is to provide a framework for Flex 2/EJB3/Spring/Seam/Guice/Pojo application development with full AMF3/RemoteObject benefits.
It implements service factories required for:
• EJB3 (Session Beans that return Entity Beans),
• Seam (with Identity security & Conversation support),
• Spring (with Acegi security & Entity Beans support),
• Guice/Warp (with Entity Beans support),
• Simple Java classes (aka POJO) interactions.
Since 1.0 version, Granite Data Services also provides a data push feature based on a Comet-like implementation with AMF3 data polling over HTTP (producer/consumer).
