Adobe Flex has gotten the Web2.0 development by storm and we see lot of
Web2.0 Flex-based implementations these days. There are a lot of complex
enterprise applications being developed in Flex. Many of these applications
are getting huge in size and often take a lot of time to download in the
client browser to run.
With time when these applications get more complex due to additional feature

must convert flat fil... (more)

Flex has gotten popular lately because of its rich GUI capabilities. It also
comes in handy with HTTPService and Web Service components connecting to
back-end servers to fetch and update data. But using this mechanism to talk
to the back-end server requires formulating a unique service object from the
