I’m posting a link to an excellent article by Yakov Fain, editor-in-chief of Flex Developer’s Journal (http://flex.sys-con.com) and managing principal of Farata Systems, consulting, training and product company. He has authored several Java books, dozens of technical articles. SYS-CON Books released his latest book, “Rich Internet Applications with Adobe Flex and Java: Secrets of the Masters” in Spring 2007. Sun Microsystems has nominated and awarded Yakov with the title Java Champion. He leads the Princeton Java Users Group. Yakov teaches Java and Flex 2 part time at New York University. He is an Adobe Certified Flex Instructor.
Jakov has interviewed Mark Piller for this article, http://wireless.sys-con.com/read/474885.htm which is about Flex integration solutions. Essentially, Mark describes why WebORB for Java is a solid alternative to Adobe’s Live Cycle Data Services, and why WebORB for Java surpasses what is offered in Adobe’s new BlazeDS product. WebORB for Java also provides a rich alternative to any open source solution. We believe WebORB will become the Flex, Flash and AJAX integration solution of choice for Java, PHP, Ruby on Rails and .NET developers due to the richness of the offering and the flexible design of being able to support multiple clients in multiple backend environments. Developers who are building applications for multiple server environments can go to one source, write once and deploy to many.
