How to generate Flex VO from database

Question

We already have the database with real data inside. Now we want to build a Flex-Java on top of that. We know how to and did generate/reverse-engineering Java code from the Database using Hibernate tools. The question now is just how to generate the VO action script ! The idea is simple like the Hibernate generate POJO from DB.

Note: We tried data model-driven approach from Adobe but we don't like it.

Answer 1

If you're already using Java / Hibernate on the server side, then ClearToolkit from the guys at Farata would be a pretty good candidate to generate Flex code from what Hibernate already generated. Not to mention it's free.

Answer 2

The question now is just how to generate the VO action script

1. Write the VOs by hand
2. Use a code generation tool. I believe some stuff is built into Adobe Flash Builder. Is that what you tried?
3. Use some other code generation tool. I don't know of any out of the box. I've used Enteprise Architect to generate code from UML diagrams before, but not in ages.

Answer 3

We use GraniteDS
