I'm using RemoteObject services which connect to Java services via the Spring Framework factory - will I need to compile against a services-config.xml in this case? I'm still a bit confused about when services-config.xml and remoting-config.xml actually get used. Are they only used by Flex Builder / mxmlc when you build your app to produce your .swf file? Or do these files also used get used when your web server loads the LCDS web app? If not, how and when do the destinations you configure in remoting-config.xml get set up?
