Adobe has published an article that Ryan Knight and myself wrote up a few months ago. It gives a very quick overview of securing the server side of Flex applications that using Spring BlazeDS Integration, and then it introduces using our Chimp project to secure the client by doing things like role based filter of UI components.

In another exciting installment of Drunk On Software, we chat with Gorilla Logic’s Stu Stern in celebration of the first production release of FlexMonkey. Our conversation may lack a bit of focus, but does have some good info if you stick with us. We hope you enjoy watching as much as we enjoyed filming it.
Today, we (Gorilla Logic) announced the first production release of FlexMonkey, our open source Flex and AIR testing tool. We started building the tool last year because we were having a hard time finding anything that really allowed for testing Flex applications in a meaningful way. We soon found we were not the only ones, as early open source versions were met with positive feedback from the Flex community. Since that time, Gorilla has made a major investment in improving the tool and getting it ready for this release. It’s now an AIR application that greatly simplifies getting up and running with a wide range of Flex and AIR applications.
