Gidd, OK, sure it's a nice flex/flash app, sure JSS does a good job supplying data, but from an AR System perspective it has not much to do with AR System any more. What makes AR System strong IMHO is that you can create a UI and serve it up in the WUT or the Mid-Tier. And I agree that MT might not be the best webapp around, but for what it does it is pretty impressive (aka emulate a "legacy" client on the web).
To me this kind of apps is like using the AR System solely as an enhanced DB, which might be OK for the specialized case. But if you are going down that road for all your apps you should question why you are using AR System at all. But you have a nice tech showcase here, which is still a bit rough in the usability area, but I assume that you'll work out those details along the road. Totally off topic, but one other small remark is that you and David might consider to coordinate the posting of ads on the list :) (it just looked silly to me to make two announcements) Hugo On Jan 25, 2008 2:15 AM, Gidd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Matt, > > Yup you guessed it Flash.
