Hello all,

I’d like to announce the availability of Pimento Data Services, an Open Source framework released under the Apache 2.0 license.

It offers management for persistent entities for Flex and Flash Clients with the following features:

• Automatic import of JPA/Hibernate configuration

• AS3 EntityManager remote service based on Cinnamon and the binary AMF3 protocol

• Managed AS3 entities and client-side cache

• Guarantee that there is always only one instance representing a particular entity

• Sending only change sets on merge operations

• Managed primary key values when persisting new entities

• Support for inheritance, managed and optionally lazy associations and collections

• Perform JPAQL and Named Queries from the Client

• Server-side Interceptor Architecture (allows to observe all CRUD operations initiated from the client)

• Support for Integration Tests written in AS3, with automatic database population

• And much more...

You can download the first Release Candidate from:
