Other than LCDS, there is no built-in server functionality, in order to preserve platform independence.
However, basic server communications can be extremely simple. The HTTPService protocol is the simplest to use, unless you are comfortable with java/amf/remoteObject. WebService uses SOAP, which adds a layer of complexity you do not need for something like logging. Devise a standard xml format for your logging, build the xml in flex and send() it to the server using HTTPService. On the server grab the xml using querystring or form variables, depending on which method you use with your HTTPservice call (Post tends to be the most flexible), and use the server functionality to write it to a log file. I use VB.net for most of my server side stuff, what would be your choice?

I've been reading the documents on Flex logging. It seems like there's a pretty good API for logging to the place where trace() calls go, or to a file on the client, or to the server if you're using one of the Flex data services like LCDS. I want to log some data and messages that will go to a file on the server, and I'm not using LCDS, and so far I don't see a way to do it. Is there something built in that I missed? If not I can develop it on my own. Thanks.
