Serializing Geometries To BlazeDS

Was asked if there is a way to serialize the geometries of a Flex client application using for example BlazeDS. And the answer is 'yes'. All geometries are tagged with a [RemoteClass] metadata. Here is the break down (BTW - this is subject to change in the next version):

SpatialReference com.esri.ags.ASSpatialReference
MapPoint         com.esri.ags.geometry.ASPoint         
Polyline         com.esri.ags.geometry.ASPolyline
Polygon          com.esri.ags.geometry.ASPolygon

Here is for example the Java side of MapPoint:

package com.esri.ags.geometry;

import com.esri.ags.ASSpatialReference;

public class ASPoint implements IASGeometry
{
    public double x;
    public double y;
    public ASSpatialReference spatialReference;
}

The following is a very simple client application that calls a RemoteObject to save a MapPoint instance:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
    xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    layout="absolute"
    >
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import com.esri.ags.geometry.MapPoint;
            private function clickHandler() : void
            {
                mapPointRO.save( new MapPoint( 45, 45 ));
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:RemoteObject id="mapPointRO" destination="mapPoint"/>
    <mx:Button label="Save" click="clickHandler()"/>    
</mx:Application>

The RemoteObject destination is defined in remoting-config.xml:

<destination id="mapPoint">
    <properties>
        <source>com.esri.remoteobject.MapPointRO</source>
        <scope>application</scope>
    </properties>
</destination>

And here is the POJO under BlazeDS:

package com.esri.remoteobject;

import com.esri.ags.geometry.ASPoint;

public class MapPointRO
{
    public void save(final ASPoint asPoint)
    {
        System.out.println("asPoint.x = " + asPoint.x);
        System.out.println("asPoint.y = " + asPoint.y);
    }
}
