Flex Remoting Options - Any Opinions?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #90819 of 149551 |
Hi all,

All I want to do is have my Flex client to communicate with my Java backend. Due to licensing restrictions, LCDS won't be an option for us. So far the biggest contenders are:

1. Granite Data Services
2. OpenAMF
3. WebORB
4. Red5

Does anyone have any strong opinions, suggestions, or biases on either of these solutions?

Thanks,

Bruce
