[flexcoders] Re: Web services or FDS: which are you using?

2006-08-16 Thread bhaq1972
we're using .net web services with our flex client.

we did use flashorb (weborb as its now called) remoting.

so, if money isn't an issue (and no doubt it isn't for FDS users, 
then i'd recomend weborb for people who have .net middle tiers).

Flex cant interpret the (dotNet anyway for sure) date structure in a web service return code  try returning the string variant of the construct rather than the data structure

2006-08-16 Thread Dave Wolf
Ben,

We have been huge proponents of using Web Services with Flex for
nearly two years now.  The majority of the applications we develop for
folks use either SOAP or REST styled web services.  

Some of our clients do use CF and / or RemoteObject back-ends and we
work into their infrastructures, but left to our own devices, our
reccomendation has always been Web Services.

2006-08-16 Thread Douglas Knudsen



this is actually a topic I've wondered about. I'm using RemoteObjects
with CF/Java as it is just uber kewl to have this serialisation of
AS-Java/CFC. Using webservices you lose this kewlness, but is
it really a missed thing for you all using web services? Or maybe its
the application type that can drive this, eh? A phat Flex app with
some really large forms and complex data model my scream for Remote
Objects, but a Flex app doing more display of data may not. ???

[flexcoders] Re: Web services or FDS: which are you using?

2006-08-16 Thread ben.clinkinbeard
Well, I don't have anything to miss since I've not used FDS and don't
have experience with Java or CF. I am currently working in a .NET
shop, so WS are really the only viable choice (barring WebOrb or
whatever).

My app pulls in reams of data from the web services, and I like that I
can receive it as XML. The .. operator is a godsend when you're
dealing with data that might be 15 levels deep in the return 'object'.
