Re: [flexcoders] Server-Side Architecture for Flex App

[Douglas Knudsen]

a advantage to RemoteObject use Steven Webster mentioned in the Adobe article on cairngorm was the fact that you can synch your objects between middle-ware and client AS, keeping your model nice and tidy.  You can use webservices to return complex custom objects, but can Flash discern these?

Consider .NET and HTTPService.  Using
xml over HTTP, you don't need specialized expertise, and your data

client as well as the Flex client.  Of course, you can do xml over http
with any of your backend choices.  Flex 2.0 has good xml support.

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,
