Flex BlazeDS Missing War and

[Abhay Singh]

Hello Team,

While doing a POC for replacement of Coldfusion came across BlazeDS.

Reason for change being newer version of coldfusion don't support AMF
anymore.

BlazeDS would be a good choice as it supports push messages, hibernate etc.

However , we are stuck with setting up BlazeDS with Tomcat as he is unable
to build war and set it up on tomcat.

Referred Link:

https://flex.apache.org/download-blazeds.html

Furthe , also tried looking for the war files or turnkey version as
mentioned in below URL:

https://lists.apache.org/list.html?dev@%3Cusers.flex%2eapache%2eorg%3E

However, i am not able to find the older versions as well.



Please suggest.

As I understand it, BlazeDS doesn't have its own .war file. I don't think
it would make much sense, since BlazeDS isn't an application on its own.
It's a library that you can use as part of building an application. In
other words, you need to build your own .war that contains your custom Java
application logic, with the BlazeDS .jar files included as a dependency.

I'm actually working on restoring the BlazeDS samples project that was
included with the old Adobe version. It was donated to Apache with the rest
of BlazeDS, but no one seems to have kept it up to date. I happened to find
it in the repository history recently, and I've been working on adding new
Royale frontends to replace the original Flex/Flash frontends, and making
sure everything can be built with Maven. This samples project will show how
to build a .war file that you can deploy to Tomcat.

i see, thanks for the clarification.

I actually referred few URL which talks about "turnkey versions of blazeds
which contains ready to use version f Tomcat (version 6.0.14) in which the
the BlazeDS WAR file has already been deployed and configured along with a
variety sample applications.The turnkey allows you to get up and running
with BlazeDS in a matter of minutes."

since the poc was on similar lines i was looking to use that turnkey zip
file and use the war file to get started.

Hope it clarifies.

Apache's version of BlazeDS doesn't offer an equivalent to Adobe's turnkey
bundle. Currently, the closest thing is our "binary release",
which includes the BlazeDS .jar files, but we don't bundle Tomcat or any
samples in there at this time. If all goes well with my efforts to
reintroduce updated samples, the next binary release should include a
samples.war (and source code, of course) that can be dropped into Tomcat
(but you'll need to download Tomcat separately; Tomcat won't be bundled).

I actually found Adobe's old version of the BlazeDS turnkey bundle on the
Internet Archive recently, and I mirrored it on my Github account, just in
case anyone might want it. I included instructions for updating Tomcat and
BlazeDS in the bundle.
