Hey guys, If you do not use or care about Java, please ignore this message and pardon me for spamming your Inbox. Otherwise, I hope you will find some value in this post.
As you probably know, it has been a long time since we did any new development on the Java side of things. For the past year and a half WebORB has been providing Flex integration for .NET, PHP and Ruby on Rails backends. Today we're announcing availability of a new WebORB for Java release. This release is very different: First of all, we have changed the pricing model for the Java edition and now it is available free of charge. That's correct, you get all the product features absolutely FREE. This includes development, staging, production and redistribution. See the link below for details: http://www.themidnightcoders.com/weborb/java/product_editions.shtm Below is a brief list of features: 1. Flex and Flash remoting support. Flex clients can use the RemoteObject API/MXML to connect to the deployed Java applications. Flash clients can use Flash Remoting components or the NetConnection API 2. Product supports POJOs, Spring Beans, EJBs, Groovy objects, XML web services and custom object types. You can easily target any of the listed types from Flex or Flash clients. 3. The product can be deployed into any Java EE server or servlet container. 4. No additional configuration required to publish Java classes as remoting services. Classes can be deployed into WebORB just by copying them into WEB-INF\classes or WEB-INF\lib folders (packaged in JARs). 5. Management console. WebORB for Java features a Flex-based managenent console which includes everything to get started with the product. There are plenty of examples, service browser, invocation test drive and service-level security.
