Research And Application Of The Rich Internet Applications Technology Based On Flex

Rich Internet Applications (RIA) technology has both the advantages of desktop applications and internet applications. RIA brings a better user experience without deployment on client computer. RIA is the trend of next generation enterprise application development.Flex is one of the most excellent RIA technologies. This thesis discusses the Flex enterprise application architecture, design patterns and best practices. We apply MVC pattern to rich client development, discuss the rich client MVC architecture mechanism, and analyze a kind of rich client MVC architecture. We research into the integrating of Flex rich client technology with J2EE server side technology, and put forward an enterprise application programming model which integrates Flex with Spring framework. Also, we discuss several Flex application design patterns and best practices, including rich client authentication and authorization, rich client session management, how to take advantage of all kinds of Flex user interface technologies to improve user experience, and so no. These design patterns and best practices have a universal significance in RIA development. Finally we discuss the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Ship Building Factory Quality Inspect System. It's a real world enterprise application. This project is an implementation and a verification of our research on architecture, design patterns and best practices.
