Cannot install spring-flex-1.5.0.RELEASE in spring-roo-1.1.5.RELEASE

[chuckls]

I am trying to install the spring-flex addon in Roo but I am not having any luck. I installed the latest Roo and spring-flex downloads and then I copied spring-flex-1.5.0.RELEASE\dist\spring-flex-core-1.5.0.RELEASE.jar to the spring-roo-1.1.5.RELEASE\bundle directory as shown in the spring-blazeds tutorial. When I start Roo in project or a clean directory I get the following error trace. It is not finding the BlazeDS flex-messaging-core jar containing the flex.management package. Any suggestions?

The Roo Flex add-on has not been upgraded to the latest version of Roo yet, so you may need to use an older version of Roo to get it running.

[chuckls]

OK, I tried the same thing with spring-roo-1.1.4.RELEASE and got the same result. Which version of Roo is the latest Flex addon compatible with?

[Andrew Swan]

You'll need to either keep trying progressively older versions of Roo or ask the plugin authors.

@chuckls,

It seems is working ... This is a recent pull request for making flex addon compatible to Roo 1.1.5. Git hub at https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-flex-roo .

Try it with reservations since the merge is not completed. -as far as I know-

The guy that came up with it deserves a lot of credit.

Good luck and let thread members know how it worked for you.

Note: I have an web app implemented using first flex addon release. You can visit it at http://pragmatikroo.org/gnc/gnc-debug/gnc.html

@delgad9 The addon jar almost works. The flex setup command runs but I get the following error:

Could not find the flex-framework dependency type.

I installed this following part one of the screencast Jeremy Grelle made at http://blog.springsource.com/2010/07..._utmk=10738356.

I looked for additional configuration to specify the flex framework in the Spring preferences but did not see anything.

@chuckls,

Contact the guy who is taking care of the update...
I am sure this the right place for getting help on it.

Post feedback; so others can benefit from the experience

@chuckls,

Congratulations. I know you succeeded with the updated flex add on...

I would like to implement your app but using jQuery instead of Flex RIA stuff.
I already did it successfully on a prototype for replacing GWT for jQuery on one of the flagship gwt samples. Ref here http://pragmatikroo.blogspot.com/201...-mvc-view.html.

I have a Roo-flex web app implemented using an earlier version of the flex addon.
Ref. http://pragmatikroo.org/gnc/gnc-debug/gnc.html.

However, I think the conversion of another new app would be more interesting for working on.
I believe jQuery is extremely lightweight with great advantages vs. Flex and GWT RIA heavy-weight-complex technologies. Besides jQuery works pretty well with Roo.

I don't need source code at all. Just send a link where I can visit your Roo-Flex app.

If you can't send the link -don't worry- I will use my earlier Roo-Flex app then.

Sorry, but the Apps I work on are all for work and are proprietary so I cannot share them. :-(
