Flex Messaging in Tomcat
I have noticed a number of comments on blogs recently that Flex Message Service cannot be used on Tomcat, because Tomcat does not contain JMS.
This is not the case.
Flex messaging can act as a JMS client and subscribe to JMS topics, however, this does not mean that the JMS MOM needs to be within Tomcat, it just means that the Flex message adapter for JMS can connect to the MOM, which could be on a different server.
In addition to this, you can use the 'ActionScript Adapter' for messaging, which means that messages can be passed between Flex clients without the need of JMS, this would be a potential solution, if you did not need to integrate with any other systems via JMS.

I've got FDS2 Messaging working with Tomcat 5.5 and a Java back-end pusing data down to the Player using ActiveMQ's JMS implementaiton. FDS can be configured to host ActiveMQ's message broker inside Tomcat's JVM. Nice and tidy.
