RIA experiences
Hi to all, I'm taking a serious look at Rich Internet Applications, and I'm investigating using FlashMX as client. Did some of you have some experiences on this ? - Are you using native ASObject via projects like openamf or just standard xmlrpc/soap to make client/servers comm ? Advices are welcome :) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Henri, I'm taking a serious look at Rich Internet Applications, and I'm investigating using FlashMX as client. Did some of you have some experiences on this ? Yep, I've developed two server apps for Flash clients using XMLRPC (http://www.proboscis.org.uk/urbantapestries/index.html is one project), both projects made use of a framework which I wrote (at autonomous software) which included code generation for object/rdb data access classes and XMLRPC handlers. From my POV (delivering the server) it was extremely sucessful, however overall Flash's complete inability to handle XML efficiently meant that when we compared our average calls' timing on a java client (built purely for the comparison) and the Flash client there was up to a 10 fold increase in time taken for a call on flash over java. In fact at some points Flash appeared to hang and eventually came up with a dialogue proclaiming something like flash is taking a very long time, do you want to abandon this or continue? Introducing timings into the mix revealed that it was Flash parsing the xml response which was killing performance. The problem increased exponentially with the size of the response. My conclusion is that you have to either keep the response xml small and make many short requests, or abandon xml or Flash in favour of something more efficient. The XML RPC guys have been talking about using gz compression on the XML, which would have helped us with bandwidth, our clients were on limited bandwidth mobile devices, perhaps this would also tip the balance in favour of making many small requests, but it wouldn't address the woefully slow and hungry XML parsing of flash. Perhaps soneone at xml.Apache would liek to write an actionscript xml parser . d. *** The information in this e-mail is confidential and for use by the addressee(s) only.

Jakarta commons karma and passwd reset.
I've been trying to get my passwd reset for my [EMAIL PROTECTED] account for the last week now. Rumor has it that I can just email [EMAIL PROTECTED] but that seems to be an alias for /dev/null I forgot the passwd for that account and I've since lost my ssh keys... Whatever verification you want to do for my account is fine... call my cell if you want ;) Need a DNA sample? You got it! I also need access to the commons sandbox... Anyway...

Re: Jakarta commons karma and passwd reset.
I suspect the excuse is that root's been busy with all the email virus. The [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail list is where you can get this solved, they're meant to be handling root-like tasks. Sandbox access should be pretty easy to get [just ask on commons-dev mailing list] once you have your password sorted out again. Hen On Tue, 3 Feb 2004, Kevin A.
