This'll be my first question on this platform. I've done lots of development using Flex, WebORB and ASP.NET. We have solved Concurrency problems with messaging (Pessimistic Concurrency Control). This works pretty good but it also makes the whole application dependent of the messaging. No messaging, no concurrency control. I know that ASP...
I'm using WebORB as a remote gateway for Flex projects. I was wondering what would be the best architecture to use on the Server .NET side. At this moment we are using SubSonic to generate a Data Access Layer. Besides that each call from Flex uses a little bit a transaction script pattern because the server side really only acts as a way...
Is there a way to test an application where you simulate a hundred different clients connecting to a IIS server and asking the same data? At the customer where our project is running they have 400 computers and they often do stress tests with all computers. I on the other hand have only got my laptop... (and a development server). (In m...
Ok, this may seem like a stupid question (for Flash Developers) but I really can't figure this out. So, I want to create somekind of an API for Flash/Flex applications so a user can use my lib in order to connect to my WebOrb Rails server. I don't have any problem with the rails part but things get a little bit difficult with the flash ...
Can WebOrb record a video (flv) streaming using the webcam as a source? How? ...
In a project I'm doing I had severe problems in the weekend. Our application runs in a Custom Browser (.NET Console Application with IE component). At the end of the application Flex does three calls to Weborb.aspx. After this the application closes. There are some 300 sessions closing at the same time, so 900 requests to weborb.aspx at ...
I have a C# web service which currently communicates with a Flex app using XML. It's not streaming data or anything, but still I'd like to lower the overhead involved. I have two questions: 1) would I see any benefit from using a technology like FluorineFX or WebORB in terms of reducing load on the server? The Flex clients won't perc...
We are working on a project that uses Flex and rails with WebORB. Everything was fine and dandy until we started tying the frontend and backends together. We created a service for interacting with users and another for the session. SessionService.rb class SessionService def view_session session = RequestContext.get_session ...
What is the best method for communication between Flex and PHP? In the past, we used AMFPHP with AS2, and it worked great for the most part (advantage of AMFPHP is that it also has a JSON mode that can let you seamlessly use the same remote PHP with either Javascript or Actionscript frontends). However, it seems like AMFPHP isn't real...
We have found the combination of ASP.Net as a server backend and Adobe Flash for the User Interface to be an excellent marriage. Up until now we have used Javascript as the communication conduit between the two technologies. This has worked well, however we want to be able to pass objects back and forth rather than just string variables...
Okay, this one is REALLY weird. I'm using .net for my backend and Flex for my front end. I'm also using WebOrb.Net to manage my RemoteObject calls. When the user first opens up my Flex app I make a call back to .Net and save a few settings in a session variable so that all subsequent requests to .Net can just pull these values out of th...
I'm in the beginning phases of a project that uses a flex front end with a java/glassfish back end. I'm curious which technology is better to connect the two, WebORB or BlazeDS. At first glance WebORB seems a little bit easier to deal with, but BlazeDS has a larger support community. ...
I am a newbie to Flex 3 and Flash remoting and I can't decide which technique to use for frontend/backend communication. I started of with XML, but it seems overhead to construct all XMLs in PHP, parse them in Flex, and for sending back data constructing again XMLs in Flex and then parsing them in PHP. That's why I found AMFPHP, which ...
So, this may sound stupid but I don't really get it. When I visited http://www.themidnightcoders.com and download WebOrb for .NET. After I finished product setup progress, I realize that the product that I just downloaded and setup in my machine was "Enterprise Edition in Development mode" Because when I go into the product web console ...
My Flex application does a remote call to weborb to save some data from Flex. When this data is saved, a service is called on another server. All this time Flex is waiting for an answer. Is it possible to call this service (on the other server) and not wait for an answer. I have tried to call the service asynchronous but all this does i...
Hello, I downloaded WeborbSetup3.6.0.3.zip from www.themidnightcoders.com and when I try to install it all I get is The installer was interupted before WebORB for .NET 3.6.0.3 could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again. Click "Close" to exit. And this is on Windows 7 RC1, but a friend of mine als...
Hello, I'm playing around a bit with Flex, WebORB and C#, and what I wanted to do was Get User + Pass from Flex forms, go through WebORB to the C#-.dll that connects and checks the membership validation, sends the result back via WebORB into Flex and logs the user in depending on the result. The trouble I'm hitting is that the C#-.dll ...
We have been using weborb for .net on an existing application for some time now and it has worked very well. We decided to rewrite our application in ASP.NET MVC and now I need to make weborb work with mvc. I have been getting a 404 the resource cannot be found error while trying to connect to the weborb.aspx page. I have added all of th...
What is the WebORB for PHP runtime environment? It supposedly connects Flex, Flash, AJAX and Silverlight clients with PHP classes and data from relational databases. It seems to support AMF (Flash<>PHP data exchange), is the entire product built around this? Does it use sockets? or is it just an AMF service? Does it run as a backgroun...
Hi, For some reason, i can not invoke java method deployed under Tomcat/Weborb application. When i run weborb console and invoke the method from there, there is no problem. However when i tried to call from Silverlight 3 client, it does not response at all. There is one possibility which is incorrect service gateway. But i have checked ...
