Dealing with data-access and persistency when integrating RIA with Java

Whether you build your RIA using Flex, AJAX, ..., .. ., you'll have to invoke remote services to load data into your client or to send CRUD statements to your backend. Marc discusses and demonstrates typical concerns that a RIA developer will face, and how Adobe LiveCycle Data Services -  which is based on java - comes to the rescue when building Flex or AJAX applications. Examples are how to leverage your existing java backends, how RIA impacts performance on your infrastructure, how to persist data between the client and a server in a failover environment, whether or not to use messaging, and more.
