Thanks, Alex. It's not hanging on the Flex side -- the server response is never received. Using WireShark (http://www.wireshark.org/), I was able to see it's not hanging at all, but continually sending messages to the Java servlet but getting nothing back in reply.
That's what led me to investigate the Java code more closely. The BufferedImage object was receiving some JPG images that it couldn't handle; so it spun away for a while before throwing an exception. For whatever reason, the exception never made it back to the Flex side. All is well now: I took out the BufferedImage object and am passing the InputStream directly to the Java Advanced Imaging API code, which resizes the image and writes it to disk. One issue: JPG images with CMYK color spaces come out with their colors mangled; but that's a limitation of the server code and has nothing to do with Flex. - Alex --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > It would be unusual for Flex to hang waiting for the server.
