Before you can use it in FB4 you need to download BlazeDS 4 ( Binary Distribution ) and Adobe LifeCycle Data Services ( you only need the flex-rds-lcds.jar ) Add these jars to the WEB-INF/lib folder and provide the BlazeDS configuration files. It will look like this..

As a demo I created simple getCities JAX-WS service and added this as a destination in the proxy-config.xml of BlazeDS.
package nl.whitehorses.ws;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.WebResult;
@WebService(name = "CitiesService",
serviceName = "CitiesService",
portName = "CitiesServicePort")
public class Cities {
public Cities() {
}
@WebMethod
@WebResult(name = "result")
public List<City> getCities( @WebParam(name = "countryCode" ) String countryCode) {
List<City> result = new ArrayList<City>();
if ( countryCode.equalsIgnoreCase("nl") ) {
City c = new City();
c.setCountry("NL");
c.setName("PUTTEN");
result.add(c);
City c2 = new City();
c2.setCountry("NL");
c2.setName("AMSTERDAM");
result.add(c2);
} else if ( countryCode.equalsIgnoreCase("de") ) {
City c = new City();
c.setCountry("DE");
c.setName("BERLIN");
result.add(c);
City c2 = new City();
c2.setCountry("DE");
c2.setName("FRANKFURT");
result.add(c2);
} else {
City c = new City();
c.setCountry(countryCode);
c.setName("NOT FOUND");
result.add(c);
}
return result;
}
}
package nl.whitehorses.ws;
public class City {
private String name;
private String country;
public City() {
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setCountry(String country) {
this.country = country;
}
public String getCountry() {
return country;
}
}
Now it is time to do some work in Flash Builder 4. Go to the Data menu and select in this case Connect to Web Service. This works the same for a Remote Object

In the model project we can create a new entity bean. I use the CMP entity bean from tables.
Now we can create a Session Bean
If we look at the properties of the session bean we see the retrieveAllEmployees method. We will use this to display all the employees in flex.
