Feb. 25, 2008 05:30 AM Reads: 8,173 | By Victor Rasputnis; Yakov Fain; Anatole Tartakovsky  For security reasons (similar to the Java sandbox concept), Flash clients can only access the domains they come from, unless other servers declare, explicitly or implicitly, trust to SWF files downloaded from our domain by a corresponding record in a crossdomain.xml file. But our portf... Oct. 12, 2007 11:00 AM Reads: 26,090 | By Victor Rasputnis; Yakov Fain; Anatole Tartakovsky  This excerpt describes the process of creating a complete Flex-Java distributed application.

Aug. 15, 2007 12:30 PM Reads: 31,130 | By Victor Rasputnis  What I love about Adobe Flex is that it is a framework in addition to a pretty impressive library of off-the-shelf controls, which can fit the bill for many of the Rich Internet Applications. Flex enables you to create new and extend existing components with a simplicity and elegance h... Feb. 3, 2007 10:00 AM Reads: 20,315 | By Victor Rasputnis; Yakov Fain; Anatole Tartakovsky  In any GUI tool, one of the most popular components is the one that shows data in a table format like JTable in Java or Datawindow in PowerBuilder. The Adobe Flex 2 version of such a component is called DataGrid. In any UI framework, the robustness of such a component depends on format... Dec. 18, 2006 04:00 PM Reads: 61,223 | By Victor Rasputnis Flex framework contains a pretty impressive library of the off-the-shelf controls, which can fit the bill for many of the Rich Internet Applications needs. And yet, it is just the tip of the iceberg, because Flex enables you to create, combine and/or extend existing components with a s... Dec. 9, 2006 03:00 PM Reads: 27,210 | By Victor Rasputnis; Yakov Fain; Anatole Tartakovsky  In Part 1 (CFDJ, Vol. 8, issue 10) we introduced the destination-aware grid, formatters, and renderers.

As an example let's consider an enterprise application that consists of hundreds of screens, reports, forms, and d... Nov. 11, 2006 03:00 PM Reads: 26,646 | By Victor Rasputnis; Anatole Tartakovsky; Igor Nys  Browser-based applications are widely used and we like the fact that we can access them from anywhere. But from the users' perspective, the productivity level of Web applications still doesn't approximate the productivity of desktop programs. The good news is the gap is closing: the ac... Oct. 9, 2006 12:00 PM Reads: 26,532 Replies: 2 | By Victor Rasputnis; Yakov Fain; Anatole Tartakovsky  The simplest way to explain Flex Data Services (FDS) is to compare them with Flex Remoting. Simply put, FDS addresses only a subset of operations facilitated via Flex Remoting - result set requests. However, whereas Flex Remoting enables one-way requests, FDS combines one-way requests ... Oct. 5, 2006 12:00 PM Reads: 25,030 | By Victor Rasputnis; Yakov Fain; Anatole Tartakovsky Rich Internet Applications are perfect for consuming enterprise services. As SOA evolves toward reusable components that can be accessed inside and outside of the corporate intranets, they need to provide outside developers with customizable pre-built components that can be easily inte... Jun. 5, 2006 09:00 AM Reads: 15,796 | By Victor Rasputnis; Yakov Fain; Anatole Tartakovsky  A typical Java developer knows that when you need to develop a GUI for a Java application, Swing is the tool. Eclipse SWT also has a number of followers, but the majority of people use Java Swing. For the past 10 years, it was a given that Swing development wouldn't be easy; you have t...

Feb. 19, 2006 05:45 PM Reads: 75,178 Replies: 8 | By Victor Rasputnis; Igor Nys; Anatole Tartakovsky  The publicity that AJAX grabbed over the last half a year is based on closing the gap between the Web applications and the desktop applications, combining the 'reach' and 'rich.' At the same time, the gap between the technological level of AJAX and what corporate developers expect in t...

Mar. 1, 2002 12:00 AM | By Victor Rasputnis In Part 1 of this article (PBDJ, Vol. 8, issue 12) we presented the technology for building and using HyperTextObjects (HTOs).

As the industry trend is to make every new project 'Web-enabled,' our PB applications have already acquired the word 'legacy' in front of them. Dec. 1, 2001 12:00 AM Reads: 17,043 | By Victor Rasputnis; Anatole Tartakovsky IT projects closely follow the path of technology. .For example, the number of Java/XML/HTML projects is increasing, replacing PowerBuilder or VisualBasic systems developed just a few years ago.
