I have the following configuration: I am developing a multi-tiered J2EE application using Flex, Hibernate, and Spring. I am using FDS and have it configured to talk to the middle tier through AMF.
Everything is deployed in an EAR file and the Flex web application and the FDS configurations are deployed in the same WAR file. This all works great. I have been reading the documentation and it seems like you can deploy FDS separately from the Flex web application. Is this the case? Ideally I would like to deploy FDS in it's own WAR and have multiple Flex applications in separate WARs that could all use the same common FDS application. So ideally it would be configured like this: In an EAR file I would deploy Hibernate, Spring, and a WAR with the FDS configuration that talks to my Spring middle tier through AMF. Then I would have additional WAR files that get deployed separately that contain all the GUI components and Cairngorm framework that would use the FDS application. Is this possible? Any help or insight on this would be appreciated.
