There's no easy way to get DataService type of functionality in Java but you can certainly do Flash remoting (flash.net.NetConnection) type of functionality in Java using BlazeDS's AMFConnection. It's a new mini-feature that is currently being tested but it's in BlazeDS source tree.
So, you can expose your Assembler as a remoting destination in BlazeDS/LCDS and then you can use AMFConnection in your Java code to make remoting calls to that destination. You'll probably need to have a timer of some sort to do polling so the client can receive updates in certain time intervals. -Mete --- In [email protected], "Shailesh Mangal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > yeah, I spend some time looking at it, its certainly not easy.
