- AMF is binary data passed over standard HTTP request and responses. So you should not have any problem with packet filtering.
- You can turn on GZIP compression with remoting just as you cand with SOAP. That means it be even smaller. Remoting cuts out all the extra metadata so its always going to be smaller. - GZIP compression doesn't improve the client side processing of the data, it actually hurts it in a small way. This is why AMF is so much faster than SOAP. Flash uses DOM to parse XML, due to this you will see that the client side parsing time grows exponentially with the size of your data. AMF grows linearly. Even with small datasets AMF is much faster due to the simplicity of its serialization. Its not difficult to setup a simple benchmark test. Do this and you will quickly see how much better AMF performs compared to SOAP, especially with large datasets. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Wolf Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 3:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Open source AMF solutions that work with flex A few comments. > * Binary transport So is SOAP when you turn on GZIP compression in your container. And I would argue that binary transmission can be a bad thing too. What if a firewall used on a corporate environment has packet filtering turned on. Does that firewall have an AMF filter and did the firewall admin know what it was? I spent oodles of time working in CORBA. IIOP is a binary protocol and I cant tell you how often we bumped intot his issue in a true distributed application. We actually used to tunnel the IIOP through HTTP a lot to avoid this. > * 50% percent faster then SOAP or Webservice Not true with GZIP turned on. > * Automatic object serialization/deserialization So does XML web services in Flex. -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.
