RE: [flexcoders] Re: SQL Server and Flex 2

[Tracy Spratt]

I have not set up parallel access paths so that I could benchmark these protocols. Intuition tells me that the extra data load and extra parsing that must be associated with SOAP messages must make that a little slower.  But I must also say that both methods are very fast and would not let theoretical performance differences be the primary deciding factor.   In my case, I have found retrieving and manipulating pure xml to be much simpler than dealing with web services and soap.   Tracy   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tim Hoff Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 10:46 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: SQL Server and Flex 2   Tracy or anyone, Not to change the subject; just extend it a bit. Have you noticed a significant performance gain using HTTP over webservices? My testing is purly local at this time. So, I'm interested what others have experienced in a production environment. -TH --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com, "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > But unless you need FDS(Flex Data Services) you do not need a J2EE > server. > > Also consider using FOR XML [raw, auto, explicit] with XML over > HTTPService to talk to Flex. > > Tracy > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com] On > Behalf Of Dimitrios Gianninas > Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 10:00 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com > Subject: RE: [flexcoders] SQL Server and Flex 2 > > Hi, > > To answer your last question, Flex doesn't run on IIS.
