How is mx:DataService in LCDS different from Flash Builder 4 DCD data features?

LCDS Data Management via <mx:DataService> (only available with fds.swc from LCDS) can do pagination and data sync, but FlashBuilder 4 + Flex4 can do them as well! See the following Flex4 + FlashBuilder 4 tutorials:

How do these 2 data management features differ in LCDS vs FB4+Flex4 specifically? Are there anything LCDS Data Management can do that Flex4+FB4 Data Management can't?

Are these features in FB4 client-side data management?

Thanks!

I blogged about this exact topic : http://quetwo.com/2010/02/18/flash-builder-client-side-data-management-vs-lcds/

To quickly answer your question :

LCDS can provide Conflict Resolution. Client-Side cannot. LCDS can provide real-time grid updates, Client-side cannot.

Supported in LCDS but not with the client-side data management in Flex 4 / FB4:

  • Notifications to other clients when changes are made on the server (optionally real-time in LCDS)
  • Conflict resolution
  • Lazy loading of associations
  • Model-driven development
