JSR-303 (“Bean Validation”) ActionScript3 framework for form validation

validation framework is a specific adaptation of the JSR-303 (Bean Validation) specification to Flex: like its Java counterpart, it relies on validation annotations placed on bean properties and provides an engine API that lets you validate your forms without writing by hand a specific validator for each of your input fields

code generation tools provided by GraniteDS so that when you write your Java entity bean with validation annotations, they are automatically replicated in your ActionScript3 beans

problem with LCDS is mainly that it promotes a strict “client / server” architecture, with – roughly speaking – a heavy Flex client application connected to a server almost reduced to a database frontend

big majority of  these organizations use BlazeDS, a free and open-source subset of LCDS

need more advanced mechanisms than just Remoting start looking for open-source libraries to enable deeper integrations with the Java business layer, and GraniteDS is for sure the most popular project

“Flex Data Services” (now renamed to “Live Cycle Data Services”)

Flex Data Services seemed too “client-centric”
