Whoa.
You probably have few options as the Enterprise Application on Websphere,
what services it exposes and how they are presented ultimately will
determine what you can do. For example, the application could expose beans
as endpoint services (emulating SOAP methods), could expose JMS (MQ
Services) or EJB's as traditional RMI services. Either way, you need to
start there to determine what your options are.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex with IBM Websphere / DB2
I've been working with Flex using .NET HTTP/SOAP web services and MS SQL
Server for a while. Recently I started a new project using IBM Websphere
Application Server (6.1) and DB2. The environment is setup with a simple
Apache/Linux web server (no Websphere or other app server components), then
a Webspere App Server 6.1 behind a firewall, and finally a DB2 server (also
behind the firewall). The only server that is accessible externally is the
Apache/Linux web server.
My Flex app requires data from the DB2 database, and I'm used to getting it
via HTTP/SOAP web service calls. However, with nothing but a bare
Apache/Linux web server that is accessible externally, I'm trying to figure
out how to best create a simple server-side HTTP listener that will take
data requests, communicate with the WAS/DB2 servers, then send the data back
to the Flex client.
What choices/options are there for this scenario? I do have the capability
of installing some server-side components to the Apache/Linux web server.
