Do you know of any resources that cover using RemoteObject with BlazeDS from AIR?
Douglas
Hi Douglas,
I don’t – but I’ve done it and it works fine. Just make sure that the channel URLs in your services-config.xml file contain a server name and port since otherwise your application won’t know what to connect to. You could also use runtime configuration to set those values rather than have them in the services-config.xml file. Let me know if that helps or if you run into and problems.

Awesome James. I’d love for you to squeeze in a blog post about your travel tips and techniques. You must have accumulated many with all the traveling you’ve been doing!
James,
you’ve skipped all the italian dates :((
It’s a shame not to meet you again soon ….
Have a great time around the globe !

Hi James,
Thanks for the confirmation that BlazeDS Remoting does, in fact, work in AIR. I’d already run across mention of the issue regarding using tokens in the channel definition, but couldn’t get runtime configuration to work in my app.
I decided that a good first step would be to convert the testdrive-remoteobject sample application to an AIR version. I’m happy to report success, and I’ve blogged all the details at http://www.brightworks.com/flex_ability/?p=74. So now, the next time someone asks if you know of any resources on this, you can point them at that. :)
Next step is to implement this in my app. I’ll let you know if I run into problems there.
Thanks,
Douglas
