Best ORM for Adobe Air / Flex

Question

I'm not sure what I am missing here, but I cannot find a reliable ORM for AIR.

The ones I find are not well documented and do not seem to have a solid footprint. Is a solid ORM non-existent at the moment?

I know:
http://flexorm.riaforge.org/
http://code.google.com/p/airorm/
http://code.google.com/p/air-activerecord/

Answer 1

I never used it, but looked at the Persistent Cairngorm library:

http://sourceforge.net/adobe/cairngorm/wiki/HowtoUsetheCairngormPersistenceLibrary/

It looks like you are looking for:

"The Persistence library facilitates the relationship between the Adobe AIR application and the SQLite database. Both use different type systems (relational SQL and Object Oriented ActionScript). This relational object mapping (ORM) library follows the iBATIS approach."

Answer 2

Check out Flextrine at www.flextrine.com

This is a Flex ORM solution for client / server that integrates with Doctrine 2.

Answer 3

ORM structures are designed to access the database. Since Flex does not have direct access to the database, the ORM structure will be extremely limited.

I assume that the projects you are referring to are designed to work with AIR and the SQLLite embedded database.

There are plugins for Flash Builder that will generate value objects based on the database you specify. Originally they were intended only for ColdFusion, but I think they have expanded to include other technologies. However, I would not consider these "code generators" as ORMs.
