Thanks for your input guys. Helps a lot. I discovered something that was not covered in this topic.
If you right-click project and choose properties you will see under Flex Build Path and option for output folder. Since right now my development is under Windows and for a couple of gui developers its going to be the same, all you need to do is choose the output folder to be under the WebRoot of your app server. The way i have done it now. FlexUI->output folder->c:\project\WebRoot\flex Where project is my webapp project and so if i want to access my flex pages i do http://localhost:8080/project/flex/main.html. This solution works in development. I agree that we should keep FlexUI and Java backend separate during development, since data sources can be WebServices too, no need to tie them unless there is a specific need. Later for deployment I will create an ant or maven build that will create the war under cruise control or something. Thanks again.
