Walking through my Adobe Professional Flex 3 book and there are some things that strike me as being worthy of posting as a reminder to myself and others about the interaction.
ActionScript Type | Java Type |
Array(Dense) | List |
Array(Sparse) | Map |
ArrayCollection | ArrayList |
Boolean (or"true" or "false" strings) | Boolean |
ByteArray | byte[] |
Date | Date |
int/uint | Integer |
Number | Double |
Object | Map |
String | String |
XML or XMLDocument | Document |
Undefined | Null |
The next item is that one can use Proxy Service to do "push" type interactions from the server to the Flex client, but A SAFETY fall back of a regular polling Remote Object also should be setup in case the push channel can't operate properly.
