Everyone - I've been working with Flex for a few months now, and as a Java developer, I want make it work with a java backend. At this point, I'm not interested in FDS/LCDS. Not to say it isn't a great product, but I'm not there yet.
The two basic options that I see are working with Httpservice, and WebServices. I have found a few examples using WebServices, and I have to tell you, they weren't easy to get up and running. I can't find any examples of using Httpservice with a java backend (although by reading this group, I see some of you are doing just that). So before I spend too much more time on one or the other, which direction should I take? What are the pros and cons? If you use web services, what do you use? XFire? Spring-WS? Metro? Thanks for your help everyone! Rydell
