Hi people,


It feels good to be in this group, its a surprise that this all was happening in
Nov 29, 2000 while i was being ruined by VB.Net, i mean Java with Flash
marriage, though seems like it never really took off since.


To tell u all the truth is that i am a nobody in Java and Flash, thought i had
learnt Java in 1997; i am a VB6 guy who has finally decided to move on to the
latest Java technologies. And actually this is due to the NetBeans IDE maturity,
cant afford to miss this Linux train now.


So i had been researching about what exactly i should be putting my energies
into, i am sure some of u will guide me in the pitfalls that i may not see right
now. But what i am doing is moving to Java since M$ killed VB6 with .Net years
ago and i dont want to be its victim again.


After thinking for long (m still thinking) , i realized that Java Applets with
Java on server is actually the best deal out there for database software
development for small projects (my target market). Though i can convince my
customers to use JAVA on their machines, but that will mean letting go the
commercial web application development since Applets are heavy weight on
browsers even today, specially for more complex UI apps. 


So again and again i come back to same conclusion that somehow i should be able
to encapsulate Flash development with Java POJO such that my users will see a
Flash interface but it will act exactly like Java Applets (i think GWT
encapsulates JavaScript with Java so why not do the same with Flash) and
interact with Java on server as if its an Java Applet.


So my basic idea is not just to compile Java code to create Flash as output but
to have Java wrappers that interact with the flash (just like RMI Stub) in the
browser without having Java installed on the client machine. All this because
Flash is super light weight and with caching it will only get more faster; And
Java is the language that is better than scripting anyday.


I hope some dont get angry on all this, forgive my naiveness, i am here to get
diretions actually and am not a kid, but one way or other i am staying in Java +
NetBeans + Linux for a very long time now, the time for this has finally
arrived. If i make any sense then please respond, that will inspire me
to make more posts here and hope i am allowed to do so.
