Thanks for the response
Matt :)
I am trying to
exclusively use e4x for exchanging data between the server and the client. I
have a growing assumption that the e4x implementation is not quite ready in beta
1 based on the fact that often I need to devise a work around in order to
properly use it. Am I correct?
For example binding
sometimes causes binding warnings. I'm seeing that results
returned/converted on the client to objects (not a formatted result as
e4x) seem to behave better, and are smoother for Flex to consume.
80% of the data the
client is consuming is stored as xml on the server. Not sure if it's the best
way to do things but I want to eliminate as much as possible being locked into a
specific RDMS. That said the DB is basically just for file lookup, search
indexing, and user profiles.
Direct Disk access is
much faster and consumes less resources then having your web service poll the
db, then transform to xml then send over the wire. Especially when working with
multiple table relationships. Say if a Task can be related to many contacts.
Storing this relation in xml gets rid of allot of overhead on the server side,
and seems natural for xml file formats.
I need to be able to
load it, modify it, then send it back in a xml format to a web service which has
the job of serializing the physical file to the users storage
space.
This has gotten off
topic, sorry. I should probably start a new post, but what is (if there is) the
preferred way to store/access data from your point of view?
Anyone else please jump
in here ;)

It's not really documented right now. However all it will do is convert
an XML structure into an anonymous object graph. It's not useful for
deserializing to typed classes. So in many respects you're often better
off just using e4x unless getting typed objects is important.

Any one know where i can find more info or examples on the XMLEncoder?
Or has anyone used this yet for encoding objects to xml ?
Samples, pointers, idea?
Thanks
