There are two parts to this, and they're slightly different: - Infrastructure connection: If you need to use your own shared cache infrastructure or the like, you'll want to create your own CrossServletState and modify the web.xml to point to it. - OpenSocial data (friend graph, app data, etc.): You can talk to some back end directly in javascript at present. Cassie Doll is actively developing a standardized server-side implementation of this that will allow you to connect to your data stores via some RPC mechanism. > > -- > Michael Papp > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- ~Kevin
