This article shall show you how the Adobe Flex SDK can be used in a Portal environment to enhance the user interface for a Portlet. It has also previously been possible to use Flex with JSR-168 Portlets and alike FlexPortal , but with the new Portlet 2.0 specification (JSR-286) some things have improved, such as the support for asynchronous requests, public render parameters and events. ]]>

Adobe Flex SDK FlexProductHome , meanwhile in version 3.0, is an open source user interface oriented framework that allows the creation of binary SWF files from XML markup and ActionScript. As opposed to the traditional more visual Flash approach, mainly used by people with a graphical design background, this approach targets at classical programmers. An experienced Java programmer will find it easy to get acquainted with Adobe's Eclipse- based, commercial development environment, called Flex Builder. A compiler called mxmlc is run to compile the MXML markup and the ActionScripts into a single SWF file. This SWF file will then be rendered on the client side by the Flash Player plug-in available in most web browsers. br /br / The application is pretty simple. In view mode of the cms detail Portlet, you have a blue display HTML area where you can view the contents generated in edit mode in Flex Rich Text Editor. Upon clicking â save & viewâ new content is being stored into the user's preferences and a newContentItem event is being thrown. The cms history Portlet is listening to such events and stores each content item in a list in the Portlet session. The list is being displayed in a sortable Flex DataGrid. Double-clicking on an item in that list will in turn throw a contentItemFromHistorySelected event, which is consumed by the cms detail Portlet and stored in the user's preferences. br /]]> http://mildpdf.com/software/adobe-flex/integrating-adobe-flex-and-ibm-websphere-portal.html Fri, 12 Jun 2009 04:41:08 -0700 admin Adobe Flex http://mildpdf.com/software/adobe-flex/integrating-adobe-flex-and-ibm-websphere-portal.html

This article is for Flex developers who want to integrate their applications with WebSphere Portal. It assumes that you are familiar with Flex at a basic programming level and that you are familiar with Java programming. It also assumes that you have administrative access to a working WebSphere Portal server for the relevant portions of the article. It does not, however, assume that you are familiar with programming or administering WebSphere Portal.]]>

The top rectangle represents a Flex project as the presentation layer that is built by MXML and ActionScript, while the bottom rectangle represents a Java project as the business layer that is built by Java and JDBC. The Flex application calls a Java service through a RemoteObject that is one of the remote procedure call (RPC) components provided by Flex. In this sample application, we will import BlazeDS to implement the remote object.br /br / Adobe Flex is a highly productive, free, open source framework for building and maintaining expressive Web applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops, and operating systems.br /]]> http://mildpdf.com/software/adobe-flex/creating-flex-applications-enabled-for-livecycle-workspace-es-1.html Fri, 12 Jun 2009 04:39:53 -0700 admin Adobe Flex http://mildpdf.com/software/adobe-flex/creating-flex-applications-enabled-for-livecycle-workspace-es-1.html

This document is intended for programmers who are familiar with Adobe Flex, ActionScript 3.0, MXML, XML, and using Adobe Flex Builder (or the Adobe Flex SDK compiler) who want to develop a Flex application that functions within Workspace ES.]]>

You can create Flex applications to provide data capture capabilities in the same manner as a form created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES or Adobe Acrobat®, and then enable it for use within LiveCycle Workspace ES. If you have an existing Flex application, you can also enable it for use within LiveCycle Workspace ES. Flex applications, such as PDF or HTML forms, can be associated with automated processes to capture data. The reason that you use a Flex application instead of a regular form created in Designer ES or Acrobat is to provide an enriched user experience.br /br / A Flex application provides an enriched user experience by providing different visualizations and integrations for tasks to be created that go beyond those offered by PDF forms, HTML forms, and form guides. For instance, dashboards can be presented to users, audio and video can be provided for training or Help purposes, and more advanced user-interface components can be incorporated.br /]]> http://mildpdf.com/software/adobe-flex/developing-rich-internet-applications-for-sap-with-adobe-flex.html Fri, 12 Jun 2009 04:38:11 -0700 admin Adobe Flex http://mildpdf.com/software/adobe-flex/developing-rich-internet-applications-for-sap-with-adobe-flex.html

This paper will discuss the Adobe Flex features and architecture, providing an overview of how Flex employs service oriented principles that allow SAP users to assemble innovative and engaging solutions.]]>

Adobe Flex combines the responsiveness and advanced interface capabilities of desktop applications with the power of the web to deploy broadly accessible solutions at low cost. The SAP Enterprise Service Oriented Architectureâ s clean separation of presentation from business logic and objects eases the integration of Adobe Flex-based solutions.br /br / Using Adobe Flex, organizations can better leverage their existing SAP installations with rich and engaging customer experiences that support tasks such as decision making with dynamic charts and visualizations, customer support and collaboration with animations and video, and a comprehensive palette of selectors, sliders, drag-and-drop functionality and other features expected from a desktop-like environment.br /br / Adobe Flex also supports users with limited or occasional network access, such as field engineers or customers completing multi-stage transactions over discontinuous sessions. Through bindings to back-end SAP data sources, users benefit from real-time updates to the application user interface based on changes on the back-end. Further, multiple users can collaborate in real-time via robust messaging services.br /]]> http://mildpdf.com/software/autodesk/autodesk-design-review-getting-started-guide.html Fri, 24 Apr 2009 04:41:19 -0700 admin Autodesk http://mildpdf.com/software/autodesk/autodesk-design-review-getting-started-guide.html

This guide Will introduce you to team collaboration utilizing Autodesk Design Review to streamline the process. Whether involved in manufacturing, AEC, or geospatial industries, design is a collaborative process that involves those who need to review and comment on designs, but are not familiar with CAD software.]]>

Autodesk Design Review software helps accelerate projects from start to finish with all-digital tools to review, mark up, and track changes to 2D and 3D designs without the original creation software. Team members can accurately measure, redline, and annotate drawings, maps, and models, and communicate changes in the context of the design. Add comments, track status, and drag and drop information of any typeâ CAD documents, project timelines, or raster imagesâ combining them into a single file. Then round-trip the DWF file to any Autodesk® design application, overlaying digital markups onto the original CAD file for fast revisions.br /br / Only Autodesk Design Review lets you round-trip markups directly into Autodesk design software, including AutoCAD, Revit, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD Map 3D, and AutoCAD Civil 3D. Through an intuitive review and approval process project managers and CAD drafters can navigate from comment to comment across sheet sets and systematically walk through a review set to complete the approval process. The CAD user can see all changes marked by the Design Review user, and incorporate changes into the original CAD application.br / ]]> http://mildpdf.com/software/autodesk/exploring-cad-integration-and-associativity.html Fri, 24 Apr 2009 04:34:28 -0700 admin Autodesk http://mildpdf.com/software/autodesk/exploring-cad-integration-and-associativity.html
