Just wanted to jump in here and say that using ColdFusion does have some advantages over Java. For one thing, not having to write Java code to do JDBC manipulation of your data is a big one. We believe that for RAD development, CFML (especially given the Flex Builder wizards we provide) will get you up and running much quicker. A CF solution should scale very well, as you are offloading the processing of the DB operations on to the CF server. You do pay a small price in moving the result sets from CF to Flex over a network if CF and Flex are on different machines. We fully support the change object model of writing Assemblers as ColdFusion Components. The one thing we do not support writing in CFML is the 'server push' API which allows a Java application running in the Flex web application to 'push' changes to the data in to the Flex managed result sets. We are currently evaluating supporting this in a future release. I hope this (biased) information helps. -- Tom Jordahl Adobe CF Team ------------------------ Yahoo!
