I am building my first app and will apply these principals. Thanks for recommending how data should be stored within Flex. Awesome series for a newbie to Flex like myself.

Looking forward to future installments. Nice to be able to tap into some of the good things from frameworks like Cairngorm (ModelLocator) without having to get into Cairngorm.

Both solutions use <a href="http://www.phpdoctrine.org/" rel="nofollow">Doctrine PHP</a> for ORM. I will be looking into this further. If anyone else has additional resources or input, please let me know! Thanks. <strong>WebORB PHP</strong> http://www.themidnightcoders.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=356 - Anyone have any more info on WebORB PHP and Doctrine? <strong>AMFPHP</strong> -Has an adapter for Doctrine built in (amfphp/core/shared/adapters/doctrineAdapter.php). I am very interested in this and hopefully will have a post about it soon. In response to using ORM (Object Relational Mapping) with PHP and AMF it sounds like there may be a couple options.

AMFPHP

Scot Clausing Sat, 02 Feb 2008 14:59:04 +0000 http://blog.tsclausing.com/post/9#comment-19 Currently at work we are using Ruby on Rails with RubyAMF. <- A beautiful combo. At home I am using WebORB for PHP. I tried AMFPHP with great success and I favor its simplicity, but WebORB (at the time I made the decision) was better documented and had a more feature packed tool for testing. Should I reconsider? I would really like to see a demonstration of using ORM in PHP with AMF. That would be great. Anyone have an example of this?

Scot Clausing Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:59:26 +0000 http://blog.tsclausing.com/post/9#comment-14 I have made an assumption in this series that I alluded to in Part 02 but never made clear. The assumption is that readers will be sending and receiving data using AMF (ActionScript Messaging Format) and mapping objects on the server to objects (VO's) in the Flex application. Using AMF for data transfer provides a much faster response time and allows strongly typed data to move between the server and the application. If you're not going that route then VO's may not be necessary (since the VO's primary purpose is to provide an object in the Flex app that maps to an object on the server).

I haven't seen things taken from the ground up anywhere else and it's really useful. I'll be following along with each additional post. I've architected my app in a similar way but I combined the VO and the Model into a single class. I'm using XML for server communication and so I have a setXML and getXML (akin to your toVO and fromVO methods), but without a separate VO class. Are there any potential hitches that stand out to you in combining the model and VO? Scot… really nice series. I haven’t seen things taken from the ground up anywhere else and it’s really useful.
