Belwo are few links for interested friends: http://coenraets.org/blog/flex-spring http://www.springsource.org/spring-flex Right now I am evaluating it and so far this looks very promising. I'll try to post a small sample application which might be helpful.... Enjoy your development on Flex with Spring... Thanks -- Surya
