Flex 3 and java remote objects
im just starting to learn flex and im trying to understand how flex does remote access? From what I've read, it looks like Flex provides a LifeCycle data service war that sits on your server and intercepts your remote calls, is that close?
It seems to me that if I use this option, then 1. I need to add an additional war to my server - the lifecycle data service war and 2. I have to pay a license fee for each instance I use on each processor.
Is there a simpler option [free] that I can use to call my remote java objects from my flex mxml?

Blaze DS is based on the same API / code base as LiveCycle Data Services and is completely free and open source:

There are a number of other options available, including:
- DS Granite
- WebORB
- FluorineFX (for .NET)
There are also solutions for PHP, Python, and Ruby, although I can't remember their names right now.

The easiest option is to send xml from the server and use it in Flex. However, if you want to use java Objects, you can go to BlazeDs. This will require you to add additional jar files (no hang). There are also other options available as WebOrb for java nr meraapi .
