Chapter 7: Using Flash Remoting For Java - MACROMEDIA FLASH REMOTING MX-USING FLASH REMOTING FOR FLASH MX 2004 ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 Use Manual

This chapter describes how to use Macromedia Flash Remoting for Flash MX 2004
ActionScript 2.0 with services running in Java application servers.
You can use Flash Remoting from ActionScript in a Flash application to call public methods on
Java objects running in Java application servers. Flash Remoting supports the following types of
Java objects:
•
JavaBeans (stateful)
•
Java classes (stateless)
•
Enterprise JavaBeans (stateless session, stateful session, and entity beans)
•
Java servlets and Java Server Pages (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.
