Scaffolding a Flex application from JPA entities

In the previous recipe, we saw how to set up a project to use Flex and Spring BlazeDS integration. In this recipe, we go a step further and scaffold a complete Flex application that interacts with BlazeDS to perform CRUD operations on the JPA entities.

Getting ready

This recipe is an extension of the previous recipe, Getting started with Flex application development; therefore, perform the steps described in the previous recipe to set up the flightapp_flex project to use the Flex and Spring BlazeDS integration.

   .. roo> flex remoting all --package ~.flex
