How to integrate java with flex in a simple manner without BlazeDS?
===

I have thought of integrating flex with spring but the first step which i took was to build a POC on integration of flex with java and i did the same by using HTTPService method. I used a jsp file which results an xml hence providing the data from database(MySQL database). And in the .mxml file the URL accesses the index.jsp file hence resulting into the data getting displayed on the html page.

But i need to know that how can i integrate the service class(.java) with flex directly(without the use of xml data or blazeDS) so that the data can be extracted from it directly.

Can anyone help me out in this matter ?
