Flex applications are becoming very popular for their rich UI
capabilities, but without FDS(Flex Data Services) it becomes
quite a
hard task to tie these applications with the real time server
data.
FDS is quite expensive and need server side deployment to
work.
I explain a plain simple way to get data into a flex
application from
back-end server using e4x and XML with strongly typed
generated action
script objects.
Please find my latest article in Flex Developer Journal for
further
information.
