How to Create a Multi User Flex Application Using JMS http://java.sys-con.com/read/505476.htmhttp://java.sys-con.com/read/505476.htm Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT In order to create a multi user Flex application, you can take advantage of one of the features of LiveCycle Data Services: the Messaging Services. The Messaging Services allows you to connect your Flex application to a message destination and send/receive messages to it from other clients.

The Java Message Service (JMS) API is a Java Message Oriented Middleware API for sending messages between two or more clients.
