Using Flash Remoting MX for Java

This chapter describes how to use Macromedia Flash Remoting MX with services running in Java application servers.

You can use Flash Remoting MX from ActionScript in a Flash application to call public methods on Java objects running in Java application servers. Flash Remoting MX supports the following types of Java objects:

• JavaBeans (stateful)
• Java classes (stateless)
• Enterprise JavaBeans (stateless session, stateful session, and entity beans)
• Java servlets and JSPs
• Java Management Extensions (JMX) MBeans; available in Macromedia JRun 4 only

Macromedia JRun 4 also lets you call functions on server-side ActionScript, which can in turn call methods on server-side Java objects.
