Create Flex-LCDS(java) remote-object sample
0423 days
by moderator
Below are some simple steps to give a remoting call to LCDS server.
1) create a Flex-LCDS project, refer link: http://harpreetsingh2602.wordpress.com/2012/03/11/create-combined-flex-and-java-project-4/.
2) write the remote object tag defining the destination in the mxml file.
3) write a java class and create a method to return any string.
3) create a button in the mxml file and on its click handler call the method of your java class.
4) Define the destination in the remoting-config.xml file and keep the services-config file as default. We will use the my-amf channel.
Download the code from here: RemoteExample. Convert .doc to .zip after download.
Testing LiveCycle Workspace
0425 days
- Ameeth Palla, Technical Account Manager, Adobe
A topic that has come up several times in the recent past is about testing Adobe LiveCycle Workspace. I thought it will be useful to provide some information around this for the benefit of a larger LC community.
If the objective is Load testing, in-house Adobe uses a commercial tool call Silk Performer which can capture and replay the AMF3 interactions between Workspace and the server for scalable load generation. There are other tools that work with AMF3.Some people have asked if QTP can be used for load testing – It is unlikely that QTP is a good fit, since it is not suited to scalable load generation.
Adobe recommends using Silk Performer or Neotys Neload for load testing of Workspace. Check out the links below that may provide more insight into this topic:

If the objective is Functional testing then Workspace is configured for QTP testing out of the box. If you install QTP, restart your computer, then install the Flex plug-in for QTP, restart your computer then you can start automating your Workspace tests. However for QTP automation you should use the Workspace automation URL rather than the default URL. So rather than http://server:port/Workspace/Main.html you would use http://server:port/Workspace/Main-auto.html.

Future of Flex – Whitepaper from Adobe
0Moderator’s note: Although this blog post is not specific to LiveCycle, the Adobe enterprise community will likely find it useful. We’re taking the liberty of sharing it (with due thanks to Holly Schinsky).
There have been a lot of questions about the viability and future of Flex recently, and Adobe has published an official whitepaper today detailing their support for Flex going forward. The paper also contains details regarding Flash runtime support, Flash Builder support and other Apache contributions including the Falcon compiler. I believe the paper is a must read and can be found HERE.

Understanding MEAP – Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms
0MEAP’s are going to be the new *aaS. If you don’t understand that statement, consider yourself blessed. Understanding technology industry analysts and acronyms is a difficult task. A relatively new category of Gartner Magic Quadrants have emerged one one in particular is a category that we think deserves a lot of attention. Mobile Enterprise Application Platformsare not typical software like your daddy used to buy. MEAP’s are collections of services and components (including frameworks, profiles, libraries and more) that facilitate the types of functionality required to develop and maintain applications running on wireless devices (aka mobile devices).Now I don’t subscribe to hype and BS and neither should you. As the former chair of the OASIS Service Oriented Architecture Technical Committee, the group that produced the standard reference model for SOA, I never anticipated that people would run with this and start all these (INSERT ANY CAPITAL LETTER FROM THE ALPHABET HERE)aaS. Software as a Service (SaaS) is not really that different from hosted solutions is it? If you disagree, you’d better hurry and claim one while there are still letters left for acronyms. I think XaaS is not used yet.
When I see value though, I want to point it out. MEAP is one of those rare acronyms that seems to be vastly underestimated by the majority of the industry. The term itself seems to have come from Analyst firm Gartner in a paper published in April 2011 (Gartner, Magic Quadrant for Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms, Michael J. King, William Clark). I believe I read somewhere that Gartner believes over 95% of the technology industry will use some form of MEAP by 2012. When I try to research this topic on Google, very little information comes up. Regardless of the title, let’s explore what a MEAP is and what it does.
In their paper, “The rule of three” is used as a quantifier for identifying when this functionality might be of interest. Quoting from Gartner (via Wikipedia):
The Rule of Three refers to a concept developed by analyst firm Gartner, whereby companies are encouraged to consider the MEAP approach to mobility when they need their mobile solutions to:
- Support three or more mobile applications
- Support three or more mobile operating systems (OS)
- Integrate with at least three back-end data sources
According to Gartner, using a common mobility platform, like a MEAP, brings considerable savings and strategic advantages in this situation.
