After discovering that flex has no backend db capability (RIA with
static data). i guess.
I looked again at Laszlo (damn I hate typing that) & what they do is:
1) use a jsp (or somesuch) ti issue the SQL dbquery
2) convert the query to XML (pay attention)
3) manipulate the XML within the Laszlo app (kidding, right)
4) send pure XML (or variation) to the client (still with me)
5) the client manipulates tis XML and generations data for the
Presentation layer (I am Joking, right)
Tell me that Flex doesn't follow the same model.
