Igenko is an open source CMS and eCommerce solution, natively designed with REST principles, extensibility and Rich Internet Application in mind.
It is based on Java Content Repository, Spring, Flex, GraniteDS and PureMVC technologies.
I have been playing with flex for a couple of weeks now,and i am trying to use flex as the UI and keeping the backend in Java with as usal Spring,Hibernate stack.
So in this series i will create a getting started project(CRUD contact management) using Spring,Hibernate/MySQL,Cairngorm as the UI MVC framework,GraniteDS for remoting and Tomcat as the server . For now i will create an eclipse based project and later move that to maven. The base intention of this project is to setup a prototype with all the above technologies defined and explore all the aspects of GraniteDS features to serve as the POC for other developers if they are willing to try it.
