Re: [flexcoders] Experiences with XMLSocket?
It should be pointed out that the server is what you are most interested in for this case. I have had good experiences using XMLSocket and Flash in many situations. I have however seen many horrible server implementations that result in poor performance that have nothing to do with the Flash client... -- Matthew On Apr 4, 2005 6:03 PM, Ben Elmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Eric.We are using XMLSockets in one of the engagements that I am currentlyworking on.

RE: [flexcoders] Experiences with XMLSocket?
Eric. We are using XMLSockets in one of the engagements that I am currently working on. We are in development phase at the moment and are looking to use sockets to be able to push real time status information to the client. The goal is to support around 2000 simultaneous connections. While the app is looking to be built in Flash for this version, Flex was fully capable in handling this requirement. My thought would be if you abstract out your service calls and have the application setup with a series of responder methods (onResult) to the XMLSocket calls you can very easily have both stateful and stateless communication with your server to optimize you middle tier interaction.

RE: [flexcoders] Experiences with XMLSocket?
Hi Eric, I am sure you will get some feedback on this list. I will suggest you to look into another mailing list, which is chattyfig's flashcoders list. You can get some real good feedback/information from there also. You might want to search the flashcoders archive... http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders -abdul -Original Message- From: Eric Raymond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 5:37 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Experiences with XMLSocket?
