This document discusses using Flex and Grails together for building Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). It covers: 1) Why use Flex - for better user experience without browser compatibility issues and clear client-server separation. 2) Why use Grails - as a Rapid Application Development (RAD) framework that is Java-based with conventions over configuration. 3) A sample application demonstrating creating a Grails project, installing plugins, generating domain classes, modifying configuration files, and starting the server to access the Flex UI.
