how much knowledge exist in your company in certain technology. Java will
give the greatest portability, it would run seemly in Windows shops as in
Unix shops. The same is true for ColdFusion and PHP. However, this does not
hold true for .Net which only runs in Windows.
As for performance, I would actually analyze what the requirements are for
your application and develop a proof of concept or test unit, to see the
performance in each of them. You should also consider here that
RemoteObject in Flex will only work for Java, for ColdFusion you need the
Event Gateway Adapter. For any others such as .Net and PHP you will need to
use HTTPService or WebService. Consider that your choice might run slower
than others.
Lastly, I think it is highly important to consider if your company is
heading to an specific technology and how many knowledgeable people you
have on the technology of your choice. We are familiar with antagonisms
like Unix vs Windows or SQL Server vs Oracle, and how people go on how one
is better than the other. However, I truly believe that if you have a good
understanding of a technology you can make it work for you independently of
any drawbacks it might have.

The Flex server is built on Java and I think that Flex was originally
developed to integrate the most efficiently with Java.
That would be my choice.

Subject: [flexcoders] Server-Side Architecture for Flex App
I am in the process of choosing a server-side technology for a Flex App I'm
building, and I'd like to get ideas from the experts on this list. Right
now, my candidates are:
- ColdFusion
- Java
- PHP
- .Net
I'll probably use AMF rather than web services for transfering data back
and forth to the server.
ColdFusion may always offer very tight integration with Flex and it offers
high developer productivity, but there's also the cost of the server
license. The others are free or cheap.
So, my questions are:
- Is there any compelling reason to pick one of these backends --
Especially considering Flex will be on the client-side?
- Is there another backend technology I should be considering?
Thanks,
Clarke
