The Flex module for Apache and Microsoft IIS provides web-tier compilation of MXML and ActionScript files on Apache and IIS web servers. This module lets you rapidly compile, test and deploy an application by simply requesting the main application file from a web browser, similar to working with server-side scripting languages such as PHP, ColdFusion or JSP.
Note: The Flex Module for Apache and IIS is still in Beta and is subject to change. This is not yet recommended for use in a critical production environment.
You do not need a J2EE application server to use the web-tier compiler. The Flex module for Apache and IIS works with just the web server and a Java runtime environment (JRE).
Note: Applications that require Flex Data Services (FDS) will not run with the Flex module for Apache and IIS.
