You mention that nothing is rapid in Java. I think that all depends on what you are doing, and what libraries and frameworks you are utilizing. That could be a long debate though, so I won't say anymore then that on the subject.
The funny thing is that Luke Hubbard has written a pretty nifty AMF server in Java that utilizes the Spring framework, Jetty, and Rhino. It's called Spark and can be found here: http://osflash.org/spark . This implementation in Java allows one to script the server side in JavaScript or Java if you want to be slow ;-). With this said though, Luke is now working on Red5 ( http://osflash.org/red5 ) and has stopped developing Spark. The functionality that is in Spark is being ported to Red5, thus it might be a really good alternative for your remoting project in the near future. Red5 will be a lot like Spark in that you will be able to script the server-side in JavaScript or Java, and will take advantage of Spring's application context. The beauty of Red5 however, is that you will also be able to access the same server-side objects through AMF (remoting) or through RTMP. Common application logic can be used by both. For example a SharedObject might update a database through Hibernate. Then your AMF calls can access the data through the same interface on the server. There are really so many possibilities, and we are really exited about it. Anyway, at the very least I hope it gives you some more options to think about. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Ippolito Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 5:29 PM To: Open Source Flash Mailing List Subject: Re: [osflash] Best remoting system On Jan 5, 2006, at 2:13 PM, gilles Bertrand wrote: > i've got a new projekt coming in remoting and instead of using > coldfusion, il would like to know what the best and rapid remoing > system you would use ?? > > openamf > amfphp > python-amf > coldfusion For rapid prototyping I'd probably choose amfphp or coldfusion. Nothing is rapid in Java, and I've never heard of "python-amf". If it's last years alpha port of AMF::Perl to Python then I'd stay very far away from it. It is possible to use TurboGears and flashticle to do remoting with Python, and it's probably good for rapid development, but I just wrote that code last weekend and I haven't tried it for anything but the trivial stuff. I'm also not currently planning to use remoting for anything in the near future, so it's pretty much unsupported. -bob _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
