Flex-based CF Code Generator Updates

Posted on Dec 18, 2006

I have promoted the Flex 2 based version of my Illudium PU-36 Code Generator from a branch to the official release version, and hereby deprecated the old HTML version (which is still available, however, via Subversion under the tags directory). I have also added a download version to the Google code page (this is a new feature) and updated the RIAForge download. Lastly, I started adding to the new Google code wiki - right now what is there is the existing documentation, but I hope to use page to expand on the provided docs. For those of you still using the HTML version and hesitant to move to the new one, here is a rundown of the features that you will only find in the Flex version:

• Ability to change DSN, Table and template on the fly - as in, no page loads, but also the HTML version made the templates tied to the DSN and this is no longer the case
• You can save generated code templates directly to a file - prior versions only allowed a copy/paste method
• CFProperty tags added to bean template - allows easier integration with Flex
• ActionScript Value Object template - again, primarily intended for Flex integration
• Transfer template included - ok, this was in older versions, but it wasn't nearly as easy to use
• Various bug fixes to generated code - thanks to everyone who has helped me to locate these ;)
• Refactored CF code - the behind the scenes ColdFusion code has been havily refactored to be cleaner, easier to understand and, if you choose, easier to modify

Hey Brian,

Nice work! Although, I'm having some trouble getting it working. I put it on my coldfusion server in a folder called cfcgenerator, and changed the password in the Application.cfm to my own. However, when I try to run the application, I get all kinds of "unable to invoke CFC" errors and a "Fault occurred in GetTemplatesCommand." error.
