Hello All, I attend the londonmmug (londonmmug.org) meetings; it's a macromedia (turned adobe) user group. i'll be presenting a session on testing flash applications for the next meeting (meetings are on the third thursday of every month)
I had been thinking of benefits of marrying rife with flash, so that I could present it to them and Introduce RIFE to another user base (they average about over 40 developers per meeting) and thought the best way would be to use rife to create webservices easily and consistently and call them from flash clients (plus flash since very 7 supports SOAP natively) these were geerts recommendations, after I shot an email to him: 1// you could also talk about REST web services. For that you have to do nothing since the site-structure is 100% geared towards the REST philosophy. Just output XML (with XML templates) instead of HTML. REST is probably much easier to interact with from within Flash than Hessian or SOAP. 2// You can look at the Bla-bla List sources for examples of this. There's even some cool reuse in there that uses the same element with different templates to output but XML and XHTML. 3// For the other web services, the wiki pages should give you what you need. One nice thing about RIFE is though, that by using inherits on the web service elements, you can very easily add authentication to them (something that is otherwise often tricky to do). Very good points; I didn't even think of the security bit, and that looks like a major point to push acrosss. I would be interested to know what others thoughts are on this. Thanks a lot. -- eokyere -- Mohandas Gandhi - "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." _______________________________________________ Rife-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.uwyn.com/mailman/listinfo/rife-users
