Flash Communication server handles this situation very well. It's use of shared objects and data providers make accomplishing this sort of thing easy. And if you can use flash as the presentation layer of your app it may be a really good option.
if not it is at least worth a look. --George -----Original Message----- From: Jim Collins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 4:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OT Problem Domain question Hi Ian, Thanks for the feedback. Sending emails to clients does not seem a particularly elegant solution :). At the moment the client applications display the data in a table. A user can make a change to this and hit a submit button, when this happens the server is notified and then sends a message to all clients that have subscribed to these messages and they then update the table to reflect the change. I would like to move away from the messaging system and if possible use a Web Service. Regards Jim.
