Opening the Samples Source Code in Flex Builder 3

Create a Flex Builder project for each sample application you are interested in. There are several approaches to create a Flex Builder project for a Flex application that works with BlazeDS. We describe a simple approach here:

  1. Select File>New>Project… in the Flex Builder menu.
  2. Expand Flex Builder, select Flex Project and click Next.
  3. Provide a project name. Use the exact name of the sample folder. For example spring-blazeds-101.
  4. Specify C:\spring-blazeds-testdrive\projects\flex as the Project location.
  5. Select Web Application as the application type.
  6. Select J2EE as the application server type.
  7. Check use remote object access service.
  8. Uncheck Create combined Java/Flex project using WTP.
  9. Click Next.
  10. Make sure the root folder for LiveCycle Data Services matches the root folder of your BlazeDS web application. If you are using the Tomcat integrated server on Windows, the settings should look similar to this (you may need to adjust the exact folder based on your own settings):

    11. Root Folder: C:\spring-blazeds-testdrive\tomcat\webapps\ROOT
    Root URL: http://localhost:8080/
    Context Root: /

  11. Click Validate Configuration, then Finish.
