             Summary: Change AbstractInvoker to not store last call result by default
                 Key: FLEX-33881
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33881
             Project: Apache Flex
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: RPC: RemoteObject
    Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.9.0, Apache Flex 4.10.0, Apache Flex 4.11.0
            Reporter: Maurice Amsellem
            Priority: Minor


AbstractInvoker is the superclass of all async operation (RemoteOperation,HttpService, etc.).
It will store by default the result of the last call, than can then be accessible through lastResult property.
This means the last call result won't be garbage collected, unless clearResult() is called explicitly.
This can be an issue if the remote operation is called one or rarely, and returns very large results (Typically, remote operations that are called at application startup).
Since lastResult property is not really useful, as results are normally processed in the result handlers, it would be better if storing the last result call *becomes an option, and be turned OFF by default*

Benefits:
large results are garbage collected by default, without having to manually call clearResult()
