thx for correcting the url ; hit the submit too soon.

As for the source code, the Cincom Public Store is where the Smalltalk code lives. The GlareUI client code will remain on http://www.ox9.org/projects/glare. The google svn repo will soon have the glare-dataservices-test project. Finally, I need to copy some documentation over to the google project.

The Glare project (new location http://glare.google.code) has two "faces".

The GlareUI approach uses the concept of a Seaside brush and lets you define interfaces completely in Smalltalk (requires special Flex client). It works best for simple interfaces that rely on the Flex framework only. I have been told by Philipp Bunge that this part of the project is no longer maintained.

The Glare-DataServices approach uses Smalltalk as an AMF based services layer. This allows any Flex/AIR developer to use services (via RemoteObject) implemented in Smalltalk (VW for now). This project is now actively maintained by me and is used for the development of a commercial application right now.

Personally, I am not in favor of doing everything in a single language. Every language has is strong and weak points; one should use the language that fits the problem. In case of ActionScript (Flex), their are lots and lots of good libraries available to do both amazing and useful things. It is simply not possible to reflect all of these technologies in Smalltalk just to make them available to your own Smalltalk-only environment.

I'm really interesting in this but nowadays working on few projects and not sure i am able to do it in "short term", have to think about it, but its really valuable thing to do. We will see.

Michał,

I have been very interested in Glare ever since I saw it at ESUG last year. A Flex-based interface is on the (long) list of things we're looking at for GemStone/S and GLASS.

I would be willing to provide help and guidance for doing something like Glare for GemStone in the short term. In the longer term we might very well do something ourselves.
