Hi EveryOne,

I want to know one thing about flex and java, Is there any
way to communicate with java without using server?? If There is any way please
let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Hi namala,

Flex apps can be built to target either the Flash Player (generally run inside
a browser), or the Adobe AIR runtime (installs as a native app on Windows, Mac
and Linux today).

There is an open source AIR-to-Java Bridge project called Merapi. Details
here:
http://www.merapiproject.net/

If Merapi does not address your requirement, can you provide us more details
about what you requirement is? For instance what is it that you need to do
when you write "Is there any way to communicate with java without using
server??"

Please post back regarding whether the above answers your question, and if
you find it helpful :-)

Best regards,

g

You call always use a HTTPSerice component to make HTTP requests from
Flex.

Cheers
Ben

Hi

Thanks for the reply, My requirement is so simple ,i will
generate some values inside the java (Servlet ) and i will return that values
to the flex application and i will plot them using charts.

Do u have any idea??

Hi,

If you are using a servlet to perform the logic, then you need a servlet
container to invoke the servlet and pass on the arguments required. If you
definitely need a servlet for your computation logic to work, you might have to
use the server servlet based web server.

If you can manage to get your logic to work with out a servlet you can user a
normal POJO and consider Merapi as Greg suggested.

Hope this helps.

Have you thought of using sockets?

Great thought wyattbiker!

Link here to a related post (with code) from Thomas of lessrain.com:

AS3 + Java: Socket connections to ports below 1024

And a follow-on regarding Merapi w/ AIR ... here is a quick demo video:

and you can go full screen with the same version of this video here:

So, in cases where a Java app is running local with an AIR app, the demo video
above highlights that it should be straightforward for the java app to pass
generated values to a flex charting application running in AIR.

But namala, SujitG is right. If your Java app is a servlet, then you should
be able to use standard RPCs to communicate with Flex apps in either Flash
Player or AIR. shrugs.

Note: The AIR runtime is a wrapper on Flash Player. Flash Player in a
browser is sandboxed. Flash Player in AIR is not sandboxed.
