Remote OBJECT: Remote Service automatically serializes and deserializes the data between Flex client and your server side language. As a result, you can directly call methods on your Java/.Net/ColdFusion/PHP etc… objects. This service connects to an AMF (Action Message Format) Gateway. AMF protocol transfers data in a binary format, so the data can be moved across the network more quickly.

endpoint: This property is used to identify the Java WEB project from your flex client project.

Ex: http://localhost:8080/JavaTest/messagebroker/amf

• http: this is a protocol used to COMMUNICATE with WEBSERVER from client. http means “Hyper Text Transfer Protocol”
• localhost: Host name of the machine where you have deployed your Java web project.
• 8080: Port number of the web server where you have deployed your Java project.
• JavaTest: Context root of the web application to identify the web project uniquely.
• Messagebroker/amf: this is the URL pattern of the servlet which we have defined in web.xml file.
• &LT;<protocol>>://<<hostname>>:<<port no>>/<<context root>>/<<URL Pattern>>
