Flex Messaging on .NET
As a Senior Product Specialist for Flex, and given my development background, I'm obviously a big fan of Java. I don't believe for a second however that Flex will gain the necessary adoption to be the success it could be without broadening it's horizons. One such company that's helping to deliver on the Adobe vision of one-million Flex developers is The Midnight Coders product WebORB.
Mark Pillar of The Midnight Coders showed their latest version of the Flex Data Services (FDS) infrastructure for .NET. This was accomplished primarily through a chat application. The bulk of the view allowed users to log in, see who else is online, and then to chat - of course all real-time. A section of the application was a chart showing message throughput. All of this powered on the server by pure .NET goodness (and specifically MSMQ for messaging).
We show something very similar when we demonstrate Flex Data Services for our customers. As a Java EE product, we use a Java console application pushing to Java Messaging Services (JMS). Like Adobe FDS, the Midnight Coders WebORB for .NET also support full strong typing for complex data types on both the client and the server. I've worked with WebORB for the remote object feature and highly recommend the product.
