I have been playing with flex for a couple of weeks now,and i am trying to use flex as the UI and keeping the backend in Java with as usal Spring,Hibernate stack.

So in this series i will create a getting started project(CRUD contact management) using Spring,Hibernate/MySQL,Cairngorm as the UI MVC framework,GraniteDS for remoting and Tomcat as the server . For now i will create an eclipse based project and later move that to maven. The base intention of this project is to setup a prototype with all the above technologies defined and explore all the aspects of GraniteDS features to serve as the POC for other developers if they are willing to try it.
