These are two options for Rails… I have used RubyAMF in some
internal projects and it worked relatively well. I cannot say much
about Ruboss although it is on my list to check out.

http://code.google.com/p/rubyamf/
http://ruboss.com/framework

Manning has a book out called “Flexible Rails”, which may also be of
some interest.

I believe both approaches above use the AMF serialization format. You
can also use simple web services to power a Flex app, but this is
straying off-topic for this list. I have also used a REST approach
for internal projects. If you’re using HTTP+XML or JSON to power your
Flex app, then you can use any number of Ruby frameworks to serve the
Flex app XML or JSON respectively.

HTH,

Hi,

I’m using weborb, also very well documented:

http://www.themidnightcoders.com/weborb/rubyonrails/index.htm

Rem:
For Rails 2.0 and later you need to extend next line:

class WeborbController < ApplicationController
protect_from_forgery :except => [:index]

I have a simple Flex/Rails tutorial here:

http://www.sapphiresteel.com/Ruby-On-Rails-With-Flex

My examples show the Flex Builder and Ruby In Steel IDEs but you can
accomplish the same things with commandline tools if you wish using the
principles explained in the tutorial.

best wishes
