What I have done in similar circumstances is create concrete classes in AS which extend a common base and to connect those to my concrete classes in Java using the [RemoteClass(alias="x.y.z")]. I have then made use of interfaces in AS to give me a similar coding pattern in AS to Java.
Keywords "extends" and "implements" both exist in AS, so even though I can't have abstract base classes in AS I can get to the same sort of pattern by implementing interfaces. You may wind up with a little more code than you would accept in Java but it works just as well. On the server side I use Spring to inject the class dependencies when needed. Another pattern I have employed on the client is to implement an interface in a separate .as file and include that file into classes which have common members and implement the interface. This goes some way to minimising the amount of code I end up with. Hope that helps. If I have understood you correctly, then I think that what you are doing fits inside the AS/Java model quite well as long as you are willing to compromise your coding purity very slightly in AS. I'd be interested to know whether you are using the Adobe Hibernate Assembler or using your own middle tier.
