Thanks Rich--I'm actually interested in all kinds of configurations. For the time being, it will be a Flex frontend in the browser communicating with Clojure on the server. In the future, we might want to make the Clojure part into a Java applet that runs on the client side and does computations while Flex handles the interface; finally, I'm also (in the long-term) interested in building standalone apps that use Flex/AIR for the interface and Clojure/Java for the backend.
It all seems rather complicated, but I've found Flex to be the best way of programming interfaces (so far). Concerning BlazeDS and AMF: what is the advantage of that over just using straight HTTP with say JSON? I know RTMP has "push" capability; any other reasons? -Nick.
