Has anyone actually tried executing an SQL 2005 XML Webservice directly in Flex 2? I have setup an example but I always get the following error in flex when calling a webservice method:
faultCode:DecodingError faultString:'Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.' faultDetail:'null' I can test the Webservice with XMLSpy, send a SOAP request and read it without problems. So my guess is flex can't handle the sort of decoding it's using. Here's the envelope I'm sending (it's the same as calling the webservice operation GetProductById in Flex: <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <m:GetProductByID xmlns:m="http://Adventure-Works/Products";> <m:ProductID>-0</m:ProductID> </m:GetProductByID> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> And this is the resulting xml http://212.100.188.156/formulaOne/wsResult.xml Apparently flex is having a problem decoding the resulting XML Anyone with a tip?

Currently the view logic will use FDS, or a web service/whatever to get the data for the view, there's no logical reason why the fuctionality that typically lives on the server couldn't reside in actionscript classes and still retain independence from the view. It's a separate argument whether you want that processing for performance reasons to take place on the client or the server, but in terms of logically separating layers there's no reason not to do that and have a very slim database/persistence layer sitting on the server rather the full access layer. In essence, it's good that the current Flex facilities (almost) enforce the separation, but even without that separation you can be a good developer and not compromise the architecture. Maybe I'll get flamed for this..

Is that always an issue on an intranet? perhaps not. I guess that security is always going to force the layer split on the internet (so you might as well do it anyway for the intranet). I've spent too much time on intranet applications, forgetting about those devious sorts out there..
