Hi,
> We actually used to tunnel the IIOP through HTTP a lot to avoid this. AMF packets also go as HTP POST. Packets are in binary format. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flashremoting/mx/Using_Flash_Remoting_MX/ intro2.htm#1174485 >> * 50% percent faster then SOAP or Webservice > Not true with GZIP turned on. Most of the developers find AMF faster than SOAP/Webservices. That's what I have seen. >> * Automatic object serialization/deserialization > So does XML web services in Flex. I think, AMF serialization/deserialization happen at Flash Player(might be native) level where as XML parsing in Flex is done by ActionScript. -abdul -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Wolf Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 12:42 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Open source AMF solutions that work with flex A few comments. > * Binary transport So is SOAP when you turn on GZIP compression in your container. And I would argue that binary transmission can be a bad thing too. What if a firewall used on a corporate environment has packet filtering turned on. Does that firewall have an AMF filter and did the firewall admin know what it was? I spent oodles of time working in CORBA. IIOP is a binary protocol and I cant tell you how often we bumped intot his issue in a true distributed application.
