Hi, First, this is probably not a question for the dev list, but rather for the user list (http://struts.apache.org/mail.html#subscribing) I haven't done much with Flex, but I'm familiar enough with the technology to hopefully shed some light on your situation. Struts is designed to serve HTTP requests. I don't think Flex is designed out of the box to use HTTP to transfer the serialized objects you need. Basically, Struts, and the servlet container that it runs in, just sends HTTP responses. By default, Flex uses a different protocol.
Well, sort of. If you just ignore all the fancy bits of Flex, you can use the loadXML API to make a request to a servlet and send back JSON wrapped in minimal XML. Then 'eval' the JSON, and you have your response in an ActionScript data structure. -- Martin Cooper As such, you probably want to check out the Flex HTTPService, which
looks like it is designed to make use of HTTP responses, which a Struts app will serve, within Flex.
