BlazeDS Tutorials
Curious about BlazeDS but don’t know where to start? BlazeDS comes with good documentations to guide you through installation. This tutorial series picks up where the BlazeDS documentations left off. We will cover the three BlazeDS key services end-to-end,
- BlazeDS Proxy Service – Having trouble with Flash cross domain policy? Use the BlazeDS Proxy Service to tunnel Flex RPC calls through your own server
- BlazeDS Remote Object Service – This is the bread n’ butter of BlazeDS. It enables you to make RPC calls to your custom Java objects. It’s also a necessity if your application is heavy on data
- BlazeDS Messaging Service – The Message Service has to be the coolest and most under-used feature. I’ve seen a lot of Flex solutions out there that could benefit from the Messaging Service. Check out if it’s the right solution for you.
Confused about the BlazeDS and LiveCycle DS licensing terms? Greg Wilson has an excellent article that compares the product offerings.

This is more of a question than a comment:
Is there any specific reason that use the BlazeDS remoteObject with Java, or could we use the remoteObject with Coldfuction (.CFC)…
So using BlazeDS for the messaging and Coldfusion for the Data?
I know this wouldn’t be best practice as the server load for running J2EE, Blaze DS and Coldfusion is heavy. However it dose make sense not to reconstruct remoteObject’s if they already exist using CFC’s.
