I want to build a demo app using SpringMVC as a backend and Flex as a fronend.
Can anyone please help me in this work.
My Questions:
1) Which tool I should use, where I can write code for both SpringMVC and Flex?
2) How to integrate this two different components?
3) I just want to build a Registration/Login demo. Please help me?
Note: I want to use free tools, plugins etc only
You can use Eclipse for both - just download the Flashbuilder plugin to allow you to develop Flex. Have a look at something like BlazeDS, which will allow you to call the spring MVC classes from Flex.
You may use Powerflasher's FDT, it is Eclipse based, last time I checked it has a free edition. Like TrueDub says, BlazeDS is worth looking at, and there is also Spring BlazeDS integration you can take advantage too.

I have a average Java knowledge. but i don't have a good knowledge about adobe flex. i want to create flex application which will work with java and i see through the internet it can be done by using BlazeDS. there is 2 configuration files called services-config.xml and remoting-config.xml. I don't have any idea about these files. if these are automatically created through the flex or will i have to create these files manually ? and how to connect flex application with java web project.
I followed this - http://cgrant.wordpress.com/2009/11/20/connecting-flex-to-java-with-blazeds/
Please help me.
There are several middlewares meet your requirement.
In addition, another 2 are:
GraniteDS (recommended, much powerful than BlazeDS)
Pimento (Support enum type)
I try to start Java EE, so after studying the frameworks available for this architecture, i choose to use the following one: Flex, BlazeDS, Spring, Hibernate, mysql. i will work with eclipse or STS.
The problem is that, after trying different project all over web tutorial, i wasn't able to create an architecture that gather all the last versions off technologies i choose.
SO, can someone send me a links which refer a tutorial where it's preferable that the source code is available to download, and it gives the explanation about what is done.

I plan to build a database management system using Grails as the main framework. On the client side, I'm thinking whether to use dojo or flex to make a nice front end.
Could some experts here enlighten me on the pros and cons of choosing either, or both?
or any other options?
thanks!
I tried using Dojo in a project and even brought a few books. And while Dojo Looks good I found that JQuery and JQuery-UI was a lot lighter and worked faster.
This is just my opinion and it may help you.
From the description of the flex plugin at http://www.grails.org/Flex+Plugin
"This plugin was created as an experiment to prove that it's possible to communicate from Flex to Grails services without any configuration in Flex. There
is no plan to add functionality or whatsoever. It's not sure if the plugin works in production mode as it is only tested in development mode. This plugin
can be seen as an example on how to integrate Flex and Grails with Convention over Configuration in mind."
There is no scaffolding generation for flex, see this bug
Another disadvantage of Flex is its lack of accessibility for screen reader users with the default configuration. There is some work being done to address this but it isn't publically available yet.
I don't have experience with DOJO but according to this link if you use the standard Grails Ajax tags you should be able to switch libraries with out to much trouble and won't be tied to Dojo. For fancy UI stuff such as tabbed interfaces and data tables I've found GrailsUI works well for me. A demo project showing its features can be found at http://code.google.com/p/guidemo/ although you'll have to check the code out to run it.
I am developing an information-management application with Dojo 1.9.2 and Grails 2.3.9 (lots of simle/complex forms, listing screens...etc). The application has a single-page interface as well (a workspace) which was the primary reason for a heavy JavaScript library.
Overall, Dojo is fairly suitable for this kind of workload and I haven't bumped into any show-stoppers yet.
I needed to do a lot of work on integrating the Dojox DataGrid into the application (extending QueryReadStore to fit with Grails better...etc) and a set of custom widget extensions (e.g. a real, working AutoComplete).
After this larger, initial integration work is done, you can expect a fairly smooth ride.
I am new to Flex and have written code in PHP before, but not used any PHP framework like Zend, CakePHP etc...
I plan to use Flex with PHP, for that do I need to use any MVC PHP framework? Do any of the frameworks integrate with Flex for the View?
Although no framework is strictly needed, it can be very helpful. This might help you get started: Flex/PHP framework download and Zend's Flex and PHP. (Google is your friend)
Flex is a client side technology and is completely loose from the serverside technology.
You can use PHP for exposing webservices but just as well java or asp.net
Flex does not require a framework, you could work without. However, using a framework will make it a lot easier, especially for big projects.
A framework is not required but using one will greatly improve your productivity.
You can start looking at the flex tutorials on this site.
You can easily connect your Flex app to a PHP backend simply by outputting your php query results as XML, Flex can read that XML with an HTTPService with resultformat = e4x.
No frameworks required and it's super simple to do.
Hope it all works out for you.
Now before I dive too far into this this question, I am aware of nDjango and MonoRail; however, those project seem to be lacking.
What I'm wondering is if there is a solution out in the .Net world that has the following features out of a single box like Rails has in Ruby or Django has for Python. I know tools that do pieces but am curious if there's 1 unified solution out there.
Database Versioning/Migrations
ORM or similar code gen
MVC-based
Pre-generated administrative screens
View generation
Theming / styling
(I'm sure I'm forgetting another cornerstone feature)
There's lots of options that cover one or more of these aspects but is there something in .Net that covers all of them?
Thanks
I have not yet found a solution as you have described, but as you know there are bits and pieces that could be used together to provide a stack that is close:
Database Versioning/Migrations - DotNetMigrations
ORM or similar code gen - Nhibernate, Entity Framework
MVC-based - native to ASP.NET MVC
Pre-generated administrative screens - PLINQO
view generation - available in Entity Framework or CodeSmith templates, PLINQO
Theming / styling - native to ASP.NET
This would provide a stack that is .NET and not another ecosystem sitting on top of a .NET substrate.
You can actually run Rails under the .NET DLR. This allows you to not only access the feature set Rails provides, but also everything else which is available in the .NET ecosystem.
I haven't found a one click installer which gives me everything on your list, but, as you say, I have found excellent solutions for each point on your list which integrate well.
I'm honestly not sure how close this gets you, but S#arp Architecture seems to be trying to cover a lot of this ground in a single package.
There is a django for .net, the name is django!
In the web there is a lot of post about django running with ironpython (a implementation of python for the "virtual machine" of C#, CLR, i think)
there is also ndjango - the django templating language written in f# for .net. you can use it with bistro or asp.net mvc (or whatever else that you plug it into)
