The same 3 ways (WebService, HTTPService and RemoteObject) to connect to CF from AIR that existed in CF8 will continue in 9.
New things in Centaur
Fast Remoting
- made several times faster
- direct data translation between ActionScript and CF types
- circular ref bug is fixed
- no code changes required
- support the old style remoting for backwards compatibility
ActionSript proxies to access CF tags
- access CF tags from within MXML
- chart, image, document, mail, pdf, pop
- no server code (cfm/cfc) required
- enable access to services in CFAdmin (username/IP)
- include “services.swc” in AIR app
- use <cf:Config…> to connect to the server
? offline access to proxy?
No the processing engine is the CF server so this part will not work offline.
Built-in online support
- build offline apps without SQL mess and conflict handling
- CF-AIR persistent framework for SQLite DB on client side
- CF keeps track of all updates to local DB and syncs the server
- session.commit() will send all changes that have happened in the session since the last commit
- conflict handling is completely configurable based on operation (insert, update, delete). you get back the original object and the new object and can decide which should be saved where.
