huh? "obviously its built to run with cfm." and what makes you say that? It runs under most J2EE app servers with no need for CF. In fact its planned to run uner the .NET platform, eh? Yeah, using webservices with it works well with CF as its so easy to build a WS in CF, but for larger datasets you are gonna need Java for the AMF hook up to pass binary data abit faster.
To me Flex is similar to CF, a jsp tag lib that does kick ass stuff in a few short lines. For example, I built a dynamically grown tree control based on data from a webservice that represents a people soft positional reporting tree in like 100 lines. It is initialised with our president, click on his name and the employees reporting to him are added to the tree below him, click on one of them, etc... Yeah, the cost is high, if your in a large company, use a software vendor, get it cheaper :) Doug On Sun, 13 Feb 2005 16:32:16 -0500, dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > kinda really thats what flex is :) > You can run flex right in with cfm, while you certainly can run it with > other languages obviously its built to run with cfm. > and now with cfm 7 and its included small flex engine, its really already > heading in that direction! > It all comes down to price and availabilty to run on shared servers, once > thats in place then look out! > > Anyone notice how all these cool technologies have support for for the other > server sides, except PHP? > I guess you can throw that into the cfm vs php argument > > ---------------------------------------- > From: Jay McEntire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2005 3:17 PM > To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Flex > > I like flex, I think its powerful and introduces new reasons why flash > is more of an advantage then a disadvanteage.
