Just to add one thing to this... they are making it
'free' due to competition with Laszlo. Double check
the licensing on Flex. As anyone who is familiar with
OSS knows, 'free' is not always free.
btw- Laszlo is a nice package. Its Java based.

Interesting.
Do you know of anyone created a handler that returns
JSON to compare
speed of parsing?

Might be fun to rig a Solr XML feed to a Flex
UI...now that it's free.
(Stop reading now if you don't want to hear about
Flex.)
Dunno if anyone has noticed, but Macromede,
Adobe is says on their
site that the core Flex 2.0 SDK and distribution
will be free.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flexframework2/
At the core of Flex 2.0 is the Flex framework,
which is included with
Flex Builder and will also be distributed in the
free Flex Software
Development Kit (SDK). Using only the free Flex SDK,
you can
commercially deploy Flex applications that connect
to XML and SOAP web
services with no additional costs or server
licensing required.
Note the limitation of XML services and/or SOAP
Services (both lowercase
and upper intentional). The uninitiated might wonder
why this is
considered a limit. The Flex Data Services server
piece (which will
still cost big bucks) provides a super-easy
super-fast
binary-proto-over-the-wire auto-serialization
auto-conversion-to-ActionScript-data-types RPC
mechanism that can
leverage existing POJO's on the server with
finegrained declarative
security. A mouthful of buzzwords that truly is
worth something... but
not sure it's worth the price they're asking. ;-)
Oh, and for all you Eclipse freaks... the new
FlexBuilder IDE is based
on Eclipse.
