[flexcoders] Sending data to the Server

[netdeep]

I need to send data to the server.  Up til now I've been using messaging.  But 
as far as I can 
tell, I can only send strings this way.

What other alternatives are there?  For instance, I would like to be able to 
send an array or a 
custom data structure.  I'm using Java for the backend.  Ideally I would not 
want to launch a 
new RemoteObject for each send from Flex, but instead have a persistent 
listener to hear all 
requests (which is why I initially chose messaging and created a channel for 
the java message 
manager to listen to).

You can send any type of data as the body of a message. If you want to send an 
instance of a typed class, be sure to include 
[RemoteClass(alias=your.java.Class)] metadata in your ActionScript class so 
that the Player serializes it with type info and the server can deserialize it 
to your desired type.
