Hi Adam, Thanks for the response. Had a discussion on OpenBC.com (European bussiness network) in the last few days. A company asked me why they should use OpenLaszlo if Flex licenses where so cheap. Well, a few posting and a few days later I could convince them to consider switching from Flex to OpenLaszlo. The question which came up there was if OpenLaszlo supported server-side pushing of data. So I checked the documentation and the mailing list. Actually the information in the documentation doesn't really encourage developers to use that feature. Your reply made the whole thing a lot clearer. Thanks!
Besides that some prasing: The company using flex said they checked OpenLaszlo a year ago. I told them how cool OpenLaszlo is and they took a 2nd look. The response was incredibly good: Word's fell like "After rechecking OpenLaszlo now we are deeply impressed by the improvements" and "We are about ready to uninstall Flex from our systems".

In these cases they used some pretty serious hardware and planned to never have more than 40 or 50 users online concurrently. The feature does work ok in production; the problem is that it scales horrendously. If you aren't stuck with port 80, then an alternative is to use the Flash XML Socket (which actually also supports plain text transmission.) This isn't officially supported within Laszlo right now, but it's likely to be in a future release. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/h tml/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00001089.html#wp71517 A _______________________________________________ Laszlo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.openlaszlo.org/mailman/listinfo/laszlo-dev
