Flex Plus Ruby on Rails To Do Long Run Tasks
This is another example of collaboration between Flex and Ruby on Rails, which is my favorite web solution. It’s written by Rowan Hick.
The idea is to do things such as Flex upload and kick off Rails background process to handle the file process behind the scene, in the mean while the Flex can be used to monitor the status of the backend process. Ruby on Rails has this nice and handy Backgroundrb that allow exactly such solution.
Rowan utilize the Rail worker generator creates the backend process, which is a nice modular design provided very handy by Rails. A small Flex application is written to do the process monitoring.
It’s nice and viable approach I should say.
