BlazeDS provides a set of services that lets you connect a client-side application to server-side data, and pass data among MULTIPLE clients connected to the server. BlazeDS implements real-time messaging between clients.

Blaze DS services:

1. HTTP Service
2. Webservice
3. REMOTE Object 

HTTP Service: HTTP Service components to interact with JSP’s, Servlets and ASP Pages that are not available as Webservice or remoting services destinations.

<mx:HTTPService id=”myService” url=”http://localhost:8400/middlejava/LoginServlet” result=”resultHandler(event)” fault=faultHandler(event)” method=”Get”/>

Webservice: Webservice components let you access WEBSERVICES, which are software modules with methods. Webservices methods are commonly referred to as operations. Webservice interfaces are defined by using XML. Flex application can interact with webservices that define their interfaces in a Webservices Description Language (WSDL) document, which is available as a URL. WSDL is a standard format for describing the messages that a webservice understands the format of these responses to those messages.

<mx: WebService id=”Webservice” wsdl=”http://search.yahoo.com/searchservice?wsdl” result=”resultHandler (event)” fault=faultHandler (event)” method=”Get”/>

Remote Object: Remote object components let us access the methods of server side java OBJECTS, without manually configuring the objects as webservices. We can use remote object components in MXML or ActionScript. We can use RemoteObject components with a standard alone BLAZE DS web application or macromedia COLDFUSION MX from Adobe.
