Summary

Overall, the model-driven development workflow with LCDS 3 is a great move toward automation of creating data-driven enterprise RIA, but it is a work in progress.

After reading the first chapter of this book, you most likely got the feeling that we don’t see too much value in introducing MVC frameworks in a Flex RIA. By creating the Fiber architecture and this new model-driven design workflow, Adobe may be sending a similar message. Of course, you can use the generated view with Flex/LCDS/DBMS in conjunction with the MVC framework of your choice, but does it make much sense?

In this chapter, we’ve reviewed just one aspect of LCDS 3—model-driven development—but LCDS 3 has a number of other great improvements that will definitely make it a valuable addition to any enterprise application built with Flex and Java EE. As a matter of fact, now you don’t even have to know Java to create LCDS-based applications.
