In this presentation, Carlson and Stadmeyer offer their assessment of the FLEX and BlazeDS application architectures as well as detailed examination of the Action Message Format version 3. Developers and administrators will be provided clear examples of how to do things wrong, how to do them right and explain exactly how each component works internally. While little information is available in the field regarding a FLEX application, Trustwave's security experts will share the knowledge they've gained in migrating towards a Flex application environment.
