I would like to know how to proceed to set up a work environment in order to develop Spring BlazeDS applications. Those server applications are meant to be accessed via AMF remoting from some client Flex application.

Actually I have Maven and m2eclipse set up and working, local JBoss v6.0M2 running, Flex 4 plugin installed.

Ideally, I would like to know how to create an eclipse project in which I can have both server (Java) and client (Flex) code and be able to deploy everything in one click to JBoss. Maybe there is a special Maven archetype for this setup? If not, I will be happy if someone can provide step by step instructions to setup all this stuff.

Thank you in advance

Have a look at the maven-blazeds-spring-archetype archetype (and its GettingStarted guide) and at the article that inspired the archetype: The Flex, Spring, and BlazeDS full stack – Part 1: Creating a Flex module.

Update: I just tried the archetype and, indeed, it need some tweaks. Here are the steps:

  1. Create a project from the remote repository

    mvn archetype:generate -DartifactId=<your artifactId> -DarchetypeCatalog=http://maven-blazeds-spring-archetype.googlecode.com/svn/maven2/

  2. cd into the created project and modify the location of Sonatype's repository in ./pom.xml. Replace http://svn.sonatype.org/flexmojos/repository by http://repository.sonatype.org/content/groups/forge/ (there are 2 occurences to replace).

  3. Update the version of the <flex-mojos.version> in app-flex/pom.xml, replace 2.0M8 with the latest 2.0.3.

  4. Perform the initial setup 

    mvn clean install -DtemplateURI=folder:html-template

  5. Follow the rest of the steps of the GettingStarted.

  • I found another archetype : flex-blazeds-spring-archetype but for some reason, I can't deploy it in my JBoss server correctly, or maybe I just don't know how. I also need to debug my flex application in Eclipse, but don't know where to put remoting informations. I will try the one you suggest now. – a.s.t.r.o Feb 27 '10 at 11:05
  • Did you try the archetype you provided? I can't even create the project because of missing dependencies (flex mojos 2.0M8). Besides, there is some mysterious dependency to jdk1.6.0_10 in .classpath. I hope you can help. – a.s.t.r.o Feb 27 '10 at 11:21
  • This archetype just doesn't work for me. If it does for you, I would appreciate step by step instructions to have a Hello World application running in JBoss or even Tomcat, whatever. – a.s.t.r.o Feb 27 '10 at 13:24
  • @Adnan I gave you step by step instructions, I don't see what more I can do, especially since you didn't explain what doesn't work (if it works on my machine, it should work on yours). Maybe post the errors here http://pastie.org/ and put the link in a comment or update your question with it. – Pascal Thivent Feb 28 '10 at 10:15
  • You've gotten me farther than anyone! (I'm new to Maven also). Would you please take a look at this stack trace? http://pastie.org/1480977 – blong Jan 20 '11 at 15:11
