Diego: First: Compare...I haven't used WebOrb at all past that. So my table consists of:
Free vs Paid - i've chosen free at this point. WebOrb looks like an awesome product always being updated, but ihaven't had the need/chance to use it yet Second: Nullable objects! Ah yes...something I beat my head against the desk for quite some time with DateTimes. in .NET: public Nullable<DateTime> myDateTime; Nothing changes in Flex. Hope that helps Sam On 12/12/06, Diego Guebel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Sam, I've read your tutorial, good stuff. I've been using flourine for a while in different projects but I haven't got the chance to use weborb. As you've tried both of them, I was wondering if you can make a comparison table or a pro and cons of each of them. It would be great. BTW, how do you send nullable objects back and forth? Cheers, Diego.
