Passing Objects from Java(BlazeDs) Server to Front end Flex app

Question

I am looking for some help. I have set up a Java Dynamic web project which uses BlazeDs. This is on a Tomcat server and can send and recieve strings to a front end Flex project.

My question is now that the AMF channels are set up to communicate how can I pass Objects such as ArrayLists or Two Dimensional arrays accross the channel and render them in the flex app (Say through a datagrid?) Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Answer 1

The mechanism to send Objects is the same as with Strings. Instead of a service returning or receiving a String it can return or receive an Object, a List, etc.

What you need to keep in mind is how data is serialized/de-serialized, this is, how data is converted from an ActionScript data type to a Java data type and viceversa. This link can help link text
