I posted a few weeks back about how to create a chart dataprovider in Java to pass to Flex and the response I got back was to use Maps. I got sidetracked with other aspects of the code and now that I'm trying to code it, I am really drawing a blank. How would you create the following dataprovider in Java without using a custom object (i.e., the next data structure may have more or less elements than this one and I would need to use generic names for each data pair)?
public var expenses:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([ {Month:"Jan", Profit:2000, Expenses:1500}, {Month:"Feb", Profit:1000, Expenses:200}, {Month:"Mar", Profit:1500, Expenses:500} ]);
