Oh, things are starting to work.... I needed to add mappings to 
openamf-config.xml. Something like

<custom-class-mapping>
        <java-class>com.example.Person</java-class>
        <custom-class>com.example.Person</custom-class>
</custom-class-mapping>


It seems odd that I need to add this, since the package names are the 
same in Flash and Java. But hey, it works.

I don't use ASObject at all, my Java objects just implement 
Serializable, and define appropriate getters and setters. I also define 
a no-arg constructor for my Java object.

I'm still having some trouble, not all my objects seems to be 
deserializing correctly in Flash. The problems occur when I have 
subclasses. But I've probably done something silly somewhere.


Troy: thanks for posting /docs/understanding.htm to CVS. I had the 
source from RC11, but that doc wasn't included.
