Hello, I am new to the list and sorry if this is a repeat question!
I am wondering about the recommended 'best practice' on the use of web services in an enterprise Flex (2) application. Looking around I found the Kiwi project which seems to suggest that (with proper use of Cairngorm) the View (mxml file) never needs to call a web service. Rather these should be delegated to the server side. While that makes sense to me, I was wondering if this was now widely considered acceptable. For our application, a very related question is how to handle Authentication. Not how to 'do' authentication, but how securely manage it. More directly related to the above web service discussion, so if I am only calling web services from the Server, but those web services require a User to be authenticated first, what is the best practice? Thanks for any discussion or pointers to previous ones.
