Introduction

The Pocogese Rails plugin creates a template Rake task: lib\tasks\pocogese_generate.rake. Running this task will generate Flex clients for each controller in the project. In addition to each controller client, a separate ActionScript interface is generated that could helps you when implementing Stubs for your project.

Details

Example

• Modify the pocogese:generate task to specify source and targets

namespace :pocogese do

desc "Generates ActionScript classes with Command and Selection API methods for ActionControllers"
task :generate  => :environment do
  require 'lib/generators/flex_generator'

  # Generates clients and interfaces in Flex
  #  
  project('c:/dev/cae/pocogese-flex-demo') {
    package('com.company.app.user') {
      controller :UserController     
    }
  }
  
end # task

end # namespace

• run this task by: rake pocogese:generate
