True and not true. Backbase is not a server side application per se - it is still simply JS/AJAX. It does however come in a variety of flavours (add-ons) of which J2EE and .NET are some of them. All they have done is provide a back end system to interface Backbase with. You can easily use Backbase as it replacing the J2EE or .NET system with ColdFusion it is just the two server libraries they provide are "our of the box". You do not need a server technology to use Backbase.
It is an absolute dream to use - very powerful and a wonderful piece of coding. If you did not want to go down the Flex route for whatever reason this is your port of call for sure - unless of course Atlas floats your boat ;-) -----Original Message----- From: James Holmes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 March 2006 07:18 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: where to start Ajax or Flex? Backbase: http://www.backbase.com/ It's a server-side engine thing that requires J2EE or .NET, rather than directly supporting CF in the way that CFAJAX and ajaxCFC (etc) do. All in all it looks like a pain, but I haven't tried it so I can't have an opinion. BTW, I mentioned YODEL in the FA article :-) On 3/28/06, Jim Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: j s [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Monday, March 27, 2006 11:21 PM > > To: CF-Talk > > Subject: where to start Ajax or Flex? > > > > I haven't see or notice much talk about CF and Ajax.
