Do you think you could take this opportunity to explain to me, the finer
differences between the 2 different Remoting flavors? Also, why I
should seriously consider shelling out the money, to purchase the "more
robust version" of the Remoting add-ons (or why not, for that matter).
Hi Mike,
The RPC services of Flex are avaiable in the SDK version of Flex 2.0. These can be used for absolutly free without even purchasing Flex Builder. The RPC services allow you to "ask" a remote server for information, just like flash remoting has always worked. These were also the only data services available in flex 1.5.
In Flex 2.0 they have added some new functionality and that functionality includes the ability to push data from the server out to the client. This functionality is part of the Flex Data Services software. Although they have told us there will be a free version of this server which will be limited by connections and such. That version is mostly for personal development and testing. Then the pricing for that server will vary based on several options that have not be expressly laid out that I can find.
In order to use the FDS software with CF, you must be using CF Enterprise as the communication is done via event gateways. Again that is only required for the new functionality that includes the data push and messaging.
The standard remoting functionality will be availabe for all versions of CF.
Hope that helps clear up any questions you might have. Also as you get into flex and cf development be sure to check out http://flexcf.com as it is becoming a good resource for CF'ers using Flex.
Talk to you soon.
