Hello world – PureMVC demo
Posted by cornel | Filed under Flex
Some time ago I was reading PureMVC documentation and I decided to write a small application to better understand the concepts. I wrote the smallest possible example (which has also server communication) – a Hello world application. It has a text field where you can type your name and a Send button. When you click Send, a message with your name is sent to the server, and the server will reply with a “Hello” message. The program is inspired by the Hello world version written with Cairngorm.
You can download the full Flex Builder project here – for the server part I used BlazeDS. Feel free to use or modify the source code as you want.

Improve LiveCycle ES startup
Posted by cornel | Filed under Uncategorized
Good post on Avoka blog – they created a script to unpack the EAR and WAR archives from LiveCycle ES distribution – that means you can save several precious minutes when starting the server. I also had this idea some time ago but I guess that I was too lazy to implement it.
URI has an authority component error
Posted by cornel | Filed under Flex
Yesterday I was with some students doing some labs from Duane’s training course when I saw this error “URI has an authority component” – it appeared when we tried to execute an AIR application. After some time we figured out the reason: the workspace was saved on a network shared folder – we mapped the network path with a drive letter and we got rid of this strange error.
