For SOLO apps, you can use simple JSP wrappers to get around almost anything, including pulling data from another website without having to deal with crossdomain.xml. As long as your JSP is a local url and spits out XML, you're good to go.

There are simply some classes like JAVA RPC that don't work because they rely on the OpenLaszlo Server to do on-the-fly mapping from Java classes to javascript classes. But there are plenty of other ways that DO work. Openlaszlo applilcations exchange data with back ends, for example databases, in XML format over HTTP. ANything that generates XML is cool as far as the Laszlo app is concerned. Some people use JSP, some use PHP; there has been some talk of a "Laszlo on Rails" group -- although I have not followed their work. I suggest that you read the sections of the developer's guide having to do with data, play around with those samples, and then post any particular questions to this list or to the forums. You can also search the forums for past discussions. Finally, Don Hopkins wrote a very complete tutoroial on how to use PHP to talk to a databaase from an OpenLaszlo app. You can google for that & it will answer many of your questions, I['m sure.
