Flex data services installable ..

[Arun_B]

Hello Friends,

Pretty basic question - I am pretty new to Flex and I am in
the process of learning Flex basics. I wanted to use Flex data
services and was wondering where exactly can I download the Flex
Data Services.



My current environment:

1.Flex Builder 3.0, SDK 3.0

2. Tomcat web server.



The link in the adobe website takes me to Flex Builder 3.0
installation only. I am confused here as to where can I download
flex data services. Any help would be truly appreciated.







Thanks,

Arun B

Hi Arun,



I'd be happy to assist you to the best of my ability
considering I struggled getting feedback on dataservices in this
forum myself. "Flex Data Services" no longer exists. It is now
Blazeds (
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/blazeds/BlazeDS
). Flex Builder 3.0 is just an IDE, which you don't necessarily
need(a regular text editor will do), but you will need however the
flex 3 sdk to compile your work. I had a lot of trouble trying to
use flex 2 code for flex data services with the new flex 3 and the
old flex data services, so be cautious with that(I never
succeeded). Hope that helps!

Sorry if the last part was a little misleading. I had trouble
recompiling a flex 2 app that used fds into flex 3. The flex 3
compile threw errors that mx.data.* classes couldn't be found, so
apparently those entire libraries were dropped from flex 3??? I
gave up on it, but hopefully that will help you from running into
any roadblocks.
