So I am working on a project that uses a ASP.NET server and we have entities being passed over WCF from LINQ-to-Entity queries. I have already overcome the cyclic reference issue with WCF. Now that I am looking toward the next step, the Flex UI, I am wondering what things people have already faced either with dealing with WCF from Flex or using Entities with Flex (Entities from the entity framework)? And Flex suggestions, libraries, patterns and tips would help. Thanks.
Things that would help:
- How to ‘persist’ or dupe entities on the UI side.
- Security, how to secure communication from the UI to the service.
- How to generate/pass new entities from the UI to the service and have then interprete as .NET entities
I would check out Fluorine FX. It is a very mature and stable AMF implementation for .NET and it does provide WCF integration. A colleague of mine has posted some information here:
