It feels very natural to me to develop applications with Flex for the client-side and have these rich Flash-executed clients run against a back-end developed in Java EE. This blog entry contains useful links and references to resources and articles regarding use of Java with Flex and includes what I like about each resource. This blog entry may be updated occasionally as I come across useful Java/Flex resources. I do not intend to update the date on this entry so that it remains at this link.
