If you’re interested in having it down, the code name for Flex 1.0 was Royale, and we started talking about it publicly at JavaOne 2003. There was also a Flex 1.5 release before SDK and Data Services were separated. It was a major leap forward, and considered by many to be the official 1.0 (smile). While not data services, among my favorite Flex 1.5 features was the ability to create Central 1.5 applications – the predecessor to Adobe AIR. Oh, what a tangled web we weave.

Sorry for the oversight …
Flex 1.5 was announced on Oct 18, 2004. It was released on November 3, 2004. If you’re looking to round out Flex 1.0, it was released on March 29, 2004.

I have a problem. I am using messagePerformanceUtils to measure the total time and serverresponsetime. When i was using java 1.5 as middletier and flex 3.2.0 i was getting correct response time. But i moved to Java 1.6 the response time received in totaltime method of MessagePerformanceUtils come as 0. So that total time value comes as a negative number. Is there any compatability issue of Java 1.6 with Flex 3.2.0 and LCDS 3.2????
