You said, "Flex shuts down hard", but then you said you DG is empty, so persumabley is is displaying. So Flex is not shutting down?
Yes, on valdhors suggestion to leave contentType at the default. Also, you have not set the resultFormat="e4x" which means you are working with a tree of dynamic objects. This is rarely desirable. I advise working with e4x, XML, XMLList and XMLListCollection. In some cases, ther can be performance problems with these objects, and you would need to move to generating an ArrayCollection of strongly typed VOs. But I advise going the XML route until you see a need to change. The default resultFormat="object" is kinda the worst of both worlds, you lose the e4x filter/selection functionality and still have the performance hit of accessing dynamic objects. Also, If I am reading your xml right, your expression would be correct for e4x xml: "checkJobs.lastResult.jobs.job" would return an XMLList of all of the job nodes. Finally, I advise using a result handler instead of binding directly to lastResult. Binding is hard to debug, and sooner or later you will need to take some action when the result data arrives. Hard to do that in a binding.

Flex (Probably) sees that and sends <> as the XML request. You probably want to remove the contentType property of your request and let flex use a contentType of "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" (The default). --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Clinton D.
