HJGraduation.com – a Flex 2 application

HJGraduation.com has been a project that I have been working on for the past 6-8 months. It is an e-commerce/brochure application for the Fine Papers and Cap & Gown divisions at Herff Jones. It is a Flex 2 application powered by LiveCycle Data Services 2.5 with Java/Hibernate on the back end. The SQL database work was done by Brent Johnson, the designer of the application was Bill Davis, all of the Flex/AS3 and Java work was done by me.
You can also visit the application at HJGraduation.com. Only some of the high schools are enabled for e-commerce, if you would like to see an example with pricing enabled (note that Schools are turned on and off daily and these 2 were on as of today), try choosing
Alabama / Athens / East Limestone High School
or
Ohio / Wadsworth / Wadsworth High School.
Here are a few screen shots showing some of the functionality.

Nice app. I just find that you use your tweened blured shadow a bit too much (or they’re too slow)
And you should change your sliding panels a lot faster (the animation I mean).

Hi,
Found a bug in the entry page, if you enter Alabama for the school state , and Alabama for the school city. the high school name appears blank. If you then click Select this school, you get an unhandeld error.

Hi,
How do you implement “LazyInitializationException” for collections? are you using HibernateAssembler? (with hql in mapping files?) bussines login?
I’m using LCDS Express and JAVA/Hibernate, but although not occur LazyInicializationException, when i fetch object with collection, occur others “select”, one for each ‘master object’ (lazy=true in set, obviously)… why?
Thanks

I am not using the HibernateAssembler nor am I doing any lazy loading of my objects in this application.

Thanks for answers…
…but, how do you sort out lazy loading problem? are you using mapping files with relations between entities (one-to-many, for example)?
When Flex des-serialize this objects… (with collection not inicialized), don’t occur others innecesaries ’select’??
Can you to show any example?
thanks!!

Yes, I quite agree that there is absolutely sense in using HibernateAssembler
