Just to be entirely precise, if you are calling a Java class via <mx:RemoteObject/> then you will need the AMF gateway which is a part of the services provided with FDS.
You can however call a Java object in several other ways. You could expose that servant as a SOAP web service using several options such as Apache AXIS. You don't need to do anything special to the Java class. The same Java class you'd expose via RemoteObject would work unchanged. You could even write your own servlet that exposed a specific Java class through a simpe HTTP call, which in turn then simply returned XML, HTML, etc. (well... you could!) I just wanted to clarify that in terms of remoting (and FDS has other services), what FDS provides in an AMF gateway that handles the loading, lifecycle, security and marshalling of AMF calls to Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs). -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.
