Which server side for a Flex app
Context choose the server-side technology for a flex application java based Randoms flex supports HttpService, WebService or RemoteObject first thought: HttpService -> ServletDispatcher -> Service -> Java -> DB -> XML -> HttpService. NO: we are in the future, something like that must already exist, I would have done that 5 years ago except for Flex which didn’t existed then RemoteObject requires a special server side application such as BlazeDS seems simple enough and I like that you only have a few xml files to define your services which you associate with your java classes seems the only choice if you need real-time messaging which is not the case here RemoteObject communication uses a binary communication protocol which is bad if client technology is going to change and is difficult to sniff/debug and/or test without the server....
