min requirement for flex and CF

[John Barrett]

A friend asked me if they could use a remoting example connecting CF & Flex with ColdFusion MX. I told her that she would most likely need ColdFusion MX 7 or later, but I don't think that it would work with ColdFusion MX or ColdFusion MX 6.1  Am I wrong about this, as I always try to give correct information.

Thanks,
Johnny

while i wouldn't recommend it, i suppose you could get by with using a webservice.

Hi Paul,
Thanks`-`

I was searching adobe's site, and I could not find anything that had an example for less than ColdFusion MX 7.02 using flex 2. Now I did see an example using flex 1.5 and ColdFusion MX, but I think that must have been a log time ago, around 2005 I think. My first reaction was download the free dev edition of CF 8, and test and have fun on your localhost. But maybe she needs a solution for a production server. I also send her code to connect using flash, but did not seem to excited about that, so I send her the flex code, while she was stoked about that, this issue came up.

This kind of make me think if CF 9 will use flex 2 for cfforms, that would be cool

Until very recently I was running CF 6.1. The Remoting gateway there  
works just fine with Flex, or indeed Flash.

Cheers

Hi all,
I have a bunch of CFCs which I need to access in two ways:

1) there's a public API which users can invoke using an API key. They  
hit a cfm page which in turn invokes the CFC. The CFC is currently  
marked as public.
2) a Flex app also needs access to the same CFC. This access should be  
secured based on the current status of the session, ie the user needs  
to be authenticated. If the user is logged in they can use the CFC  
from the Flex app, otherwise they can't.

I have 1) pretty much figured out, but do not want to mark my CFC as  
remote to solve 2) since I do not want to it to be publicly viewable  
etc.
I was therefore thinking of having a third CFC which is marked as  
remote and which facilitates invocation of the second CFC (the public  
one). The remote CFC could have role based access which would require  
a user to be logged in.

Does this sound like a good strategy for securing my public CFC?
(and note I use the term public in the sense of CF where it means that  
only other CFCs on the same server can invoke it)

The main reason for this exercise is to avoid having to duplicate any  
app logic. I do not want to have one set of CFCs that are public, and  
another set that are remote, yet both to have the same logic contained  
within.

Any advice appreciated.

Regards,

Stefan

That's precisely how I handle this kind of situation, if that helps.

This is the Proxy pattern, as demonstrated by ColdSpring's RemoteFactoryBean,
for instance.
