Re: [flexcoders] Clarification if Remoting is included with Flex 2.0

Thu, 13 Apr 2006 13:48:11 -0700

To clarify further, the ability to push data to the client is the messaging server that I mentioned. This is different from the existing SMS gateway in ColdFusion 7. There is a new gateway for ColdFusion that passes data between Flex Data Services and ColdFusion via a messaging system; this is the ColdFusion Adapter. (The adapter may have additional uses but I am not clear on what those might be.) Since it is a gateway, you must be using a version of ColdFusion that supports the gateway, which means ColdFusion 7.1 enterprise.

Hope that helps,
Jennifer

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.
