Sebastien,
thanks for the info; for me the problem is that the dynamic service classes are not only in the wrong directory, they are not on the classpath. They are loaded by their own classloader, so there is no hope of explaining to RDS how to find them. So I must run/deploy the dynamic services as standalone apps, whenever I want/need the RDS code generation.
I may be motivated to use my own template and code generator…

The problem is that the BlazeDS stub generator in Flash Builder seems to rely on a very classical web layout. So as soon as you try to combine things dynamically at runtime, it loses its marks. The only solution would be to write another extension to Flash Builder like some guys did it for PHP. But the problem is that this process seems to be completely undocumented (I didn’t find any documentation anyway). For Grails it was just easier to use run-war instead of run-app to make the app look like it has a classical layout. Doing so, I lose some productivity but I do that just once when I need to regenerate stubs, and then I go back to run-app. Now if your layout is more specific, I guess we’ll have to wait for Adobe to come up with a better solution, something more robust that works outside of the basic demonstration scenarios.

Sebastien,
In Ward’s blog, you mentioned hitting the “not available in the specified location” problem.
And then apparently a solution?

I’m doing a similar dynamic service registration and am getting that message.
[Same basic FB4, Spring-Flex-1.5.0; no Grails, but I do classload and register the service on-the-fly]
Can you offer any indication of what is the underlying problem?

Did you find a solution? or is this the #5 restriction?
Is RDS fundamentally limited?

Any insight you can offer will be appreciated.

Thank you Sébastien. You did a very good job.
But do you think the famous “lazy-loading” problem has been
resolved by your method? If no, do you think it could be possible to resolve it integrating it with dphibernate? or graniteds ? how?
Merci beaucoup,
Kwame

[...] I discovered a series of great posts by Sébastien Arbogast that culminated in the creation of his own plugin for BlazeDS4. That helped me to understand what had to happen to get everything [...]

You’re very welcome. I’ll try to combine your forthcoming post and the latest developments with BlazeDS4 and Spring BlazeDS integration 1.0.3 in a more robust version of the grails-blazeds plugin. Please let me know when your post is ready.

For what it’s worth, I got authorization working. this thread helped me to figure it out, but essentially the key is to code to an Interface. I’ve gotten XML-based authorization to work; haven’t tried @Secured yet but I have high hopes.

A blog post is forthcoming. I’m super stoked to be where I am with this and definitely wouldn’t be without you! Thanks a ton.

So far I haven’t been able to use [security:intercept-methods] XML for authorization either. I may just have to use a number of different channels and lock each channel down with different security levels. That sure does feel like a hack though . . .

As far as I’m concerned, I managed to get authentication working, but not authorization. Access is denied as long as I’m not logged in, but once logged in, I have access to everything, whatever my roles and the ones specified by @Secured. From what I remember when I was trying, it seems that @Secured annotations are not seen in compiled classes or something like that. My plan was to wait for a next release of Spring Security plugin, which is apparently under work.
