Re: [flexcoders] Re: WebOrb for Rails

[hank williams]

Actually, all remoting has security problems, its not just OpenAMF. But people use it because there is no other solution. With all remoting solutions, your API is accessible. It is very hard to avoid this which means you dont want to make any functions accessible that could cause a problem. There are ways to code around the issue, but few people bother. This is true for FDS and WebOrb, and OpenAMF, OpenPHP, and CF, etc. But OpenAMF (and remoting in general - same issues) is already used by enterprises that have applications that dont expose API's that could damage mission critical data. Basically, its risky to have any business logic in the client. Web pages dont do this, which is why they are inherently safer. But for lots of apps, it doesnt matter. Oh and the comment about nobody being fired for hiring IBM may or not be true, but I don't think they offer a remoting solution!

openAMF won't be used by enterprises due to security concerns, the
group i consult to had it code reviewed and found numerous security

BTW, almost anything enterprise is expensive to scale, except to..err..enterprises. :-)OpenAMF
and OpenPHP are free, which is a lot cheaper than $20k per server.
Personally, I dont consider $0 for 10 OpenAMF servers to be expensive.
 CF being overkill is an opinion by all means so I'll leave it alone.
You clipped half the sentence.
I said CF is overkill *** for what you want to do ***. I don't think
most people would consider this in the argument inducing opinion camp.
If all you want to do is remoting, you don't need the enormous list of
CF features. Does anybody disagree with that???

"why didn't Adobe release remoting solutions themselves?"
 
What do you mean? I take it http://www.adobe.com/go/flashremoting isn't what you are talking about? 

this does not work with flex 2.They obviously did
release FDS which does remoting but is quite expensive at scale, and
Cold Fusion which is overkill if you just want remoting. There is nothing that replacies flash remoting MX for the Flex 2 platform.
