But unless you need FDS(Flex Data Services) you do not need a J2EE server. Also consider using FOR XML [raw, auto, explicit] with XML over HTTPService to talk to Flex.

You will need to either purchase a Java web server or use of the open-source ones (JBoss, Tomcat, etc...). Thats where you will deploy your Flex app and then it can talk to your Web Services or load ASP pages running on IIS. See the posts from others before me for further info. Dimitrios Gianninas Optimal Payments Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Joe Sent: Tue 10/3/2006 5:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] SQL Server and Flex 2 Okay, I'm pretty new to the Flex scene and am very impressed with the development so far. My company is wanting to start developing a database application using an Ajax technology and realize I'm a little behind the curve since Flex applications don't access data like the .net applications I normally develop. We've already bought Flex Builder 2.0 and I am being pushed to develop there. So far the interface design and interaction development I'm catching, but with the data access I'm lost. Does anyone have any idea where to begin? I've tried browsing the forums and just keep getting more confused, and all of the examples I've found on the web don't use IIS/MSSQL. Please Help!
