I’m happy to announce the immediate availibility of cf-flex-user-auth, a starter application for developers building Flex applications with ColdFusion on the backend. I’ve been working on this for a while now, and it’s gone through two complete rewrites.

The idea behind this is for developers to be able to download this source code, and have a running start at building Flex applications. On the Flex side, we’re using the Mate framework. On the ColdFusion end, we’re not using any framework, since we’re really only exposing the database via CFC’s.

This application covers the basics of a user application, because I was tired of rewriting the wheel every few months:

  • User registration
  • Email confirmation
  • Login
  • Logout

So, go get it now via the Google Code SVN repository. If you need help, read the wonderful documentation.

Special thanks to Laura Arguello for the crash-course on Mate, and Dan Wilson for writing the installation docs.

    cool – I needed this really bad. I’m new to Mate and this was a great starting place. What Coldfusion version is required for your example? I’m running in a WinXP environment and i’m having problems with the “returntype=model.Usergateway” in the user.cfc…any thoughts?

    @Lugene You need at least ColdFusion 7.0.2. I built & tested it on ColdFusion 8.
