Chapter 11. Communicating with Adobe BlazeDS

The previous chapter explored reasons why your application may want to communicate with a server and further demonstrated abstracting that layer of communication to decouple your application’s visual components from the server technology.

That theme will continue in this chapter as you explore Adobe BlazeDS, an open-source, Java-based solution provided by Adobe for interacting with server data. BlazeDS was developed to facilitate an easier, faster, and cleaner approach to integrating with server-side data than previously available. The intended results are more engaging RIA experiences achieved by reducing the time required to develop data-intensive applications and increasing the runtime performance through new communication techniques and smarter data formats.
