Demo - Flex + ColdFusion / Query CFC

This demo illustrates the use of ColdFusion with PureMVC to perform a query against a remote CFC from a Flex client.

Installation

• From the archive
  • Download the latest source code archive.
  • Unzip the source code zip to any folder on your disk. (for instance: c:\development\)
  • You will see a QueryCFC source folder. (for instance: c:\development\QueryCFC )

• From the Repository
  • Use your  favorite SVN client to retrieve the latest source code release from the repository.

• Add the Services
  • Set up a ColdFusion datasource (this example uses a datasource named flexcf) and point to a MySQL database with single table named users and 3 fields, user_id, username and password.
  • In the server root folder (typically wwwroot for ColdFusion) create a new folder named QueryCFC for the server side script.
  • Copy the contents of the Services folder from the distribution into the QueryCFC folder on the server.

• Setup and Compile the Demo Using Flex Builder 3
  • Create a new Flex Project called 'QueryCFC' in Flex Builder 3:
    • Pointing to the new QueryCFC source folder
    • Application Server Type = ColdFusion
    • Remote Object access service = ColdFusion Flash Remoting
    • On the Configure ColdFusion page of the wizard, enter your ColdFusion root folder and web root.
    • For the Output Folder browse to the server-based QueryCFC folder you created above.
  • Add the required libraries to the QueryCFC project's build path.
    • From the Flex Builder menu do: Project -> Properties -> Flex Build Path -> Library Path -> Add SWC Folder
