Hi Everyone, One hopes that it would be possible to use flash-remoting with other java application servers too, coz the development scenario might just require that.
Its quite clear however, that user-interfaces and applications such as these, are soon going to be quite prevalent. A valid problem however could be, people getting too carried away with the technology and creating flash movies which take too much bandwidth. But the seamless user experience which flash can provide is quite unbeatable. One would like to see more such applications and web-services. Cheers!
