  • Learning to use BlazeDS
  • Successfully passed a string from BlazeDS to a Flex application using the tutorial located at http://raajasoft.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/blazeds-and-java-together-a-simple-tutorial/
  • Unfortunately the tutorial uses flex 3, so many of the steps don’t apply in this version, such as the instructions for connecting to the data source.
  • Instead of following the instructions, accept the defaults when creating a new project and then go to “data” and select “connect to blazeds” the instructions make much more sense in this dialog box.
  • Also note that the instructions want you to use mx components, but with flex 4 you can use spark if you want.
