I'll see what I can do with the dates and changing the tz. We actually have templates that we can change that generate a good chunk of our communications code so handling dates from the server may not be too difficult. The problem would be every where in Flex we create a new date. I'll look into this as an option as we could simply make a call to the server at app load time to ask what timezone the server is using and go from there.
Certainly not optimal, but better than changing everything to Strings. For the Blaze + Hibernate stuff, ask me at the next AFFUG meeting. Was not horrible, but Granite certainly added a couple very nice things that Blaze was lacking. But to be honest, that was Blaze as of 2 years ago.

Flash automatically adds TZ info to all new Dates, including the ones coming in from server. You can play the massage the date game for incoming and outgoing dates since you know the TZ offest. Another way, just deliver strings. :) odd to hear about the Blaze and Hibernate issues, our backend folks have used that and Spring even with Blaze.
