Java Flex Book - urgent notice
Unfortunately the current DVD version within the book „Professionelle Rich Client Lösungen mit Flex & Java“ contains a packaging error: all sub folders contain the Linux compression extension .gz; in order to import a project you have to step through all subfolders and extract each file which is clumsy work.
We prepared two new bundles which do not contain this error, the corrected bundles (mirror DVD 1:1) can be downloaded here, simply click on of the items below:
Full Windows Bundle (1:1 DVD), 1.3GB
Windows Eclipse Projects only, 85MB
Full Mac Bundle (1:1 DVD), 1.3GB
Mac Eclipse Projects only, 85MB
We apologize for this issue and kindly ask you to use the bundles above, the DVD bundles work as well but are kind of „deprecated“!
Best regards, Florian Müller!
Java-Flex book by richability released!
We proudly present: Professional Rich Client solutions with Flex & Java!

A long road has come to an end...! Today we finally managed to release the book „Professionelle Rich Client Lösungen mit Flex & Java“ (currently available only in German language - English will follow soon...);
the book is kind of allround guide giving beginners a good Flex/Java ramp up, advanced Flex/Java engineers can benefit from the book as well, since couple of advanced topics (Flex - Java - JPA, Spring, Multilanguage Management, Messaging etc.) are treated as well.
The book contains a fully blown ready to rund Eclipse/Flex environment and ships with a lot of examples enabling the reader rather to learn Flex than reading about Flex only. The book covers the following topics:
- Flex - Java - BlazeDS background knowledge
- Flex Java Setup
- Basic Flex examples
- Connecting Flex and Java
- Accessing a MySQL database from Felx via Java/JPA (Hibernate)
- Validations
- Messaging
- Spring Integration
- Web Service access
- AIR
- Testing
- 30 frequent Flex/Java questions - and corresponding answers!
Publishing house is Addison Wesley, the book can be ordered via Amazon: Link
I would like to thank everybody involved into this project - and of course I’m looking forward to feedback from our first readers!
Have fun reading the book, Florian!
