Hi, Ok, Just to clear things up... I have created a web app with a web.xml to serve my crossdomain.xml because I want to access ofbiz services (custom and in the future the exported ones) in Flex. The flash player has security and needs the crossdomain.xml if I am hosting the swf from a different location to ofbiz. Which is the case for me.
By using BlazeDS I can call Java Objects in the Ofbiz Server directly... why would I want to do that you might ask? well 1. The wsdl cannot be generated for quite complex services so I had to write soap envelopes in actionscript to call exported services in ofbiz, which is time consuming as well as requiring more maintainence if the ofbiz services change. 2. Using BlazeDS I can take advantage of the AMF features, to send objects over the wire and minimize bandwidth. 3. I can create a Java Facade in my application to make my solution more loosely coupled. 4. I can also integrate my solution into a 3rd party Single Sign On Solution thus for intranet usage I can authenticate user on LDAP. So basically exporting the services using Ofbiz is good, but not exactly what I need, so using BlazeDS and Flex I can create a Rich Internet App with the powerful Ofbiz service and entity layer! I will try to blog some of the tricks I have used on http://blog.catalystic.com On Sun, Apr 6, 2008 at 6:55 PM, BJ Freeman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think the important distinction here is what is Web resources. > and the services from the service engine are not exposed as web > resources by using the crossdomain.xml. > I believe that was the original statement. > > Raj Saini sent the following on 4/5/2008 9:16 AM: > > I am afraid this is not correct.
