Interesting. Do you know of anyone created a handler that returns JSON to compare speed of parsing? http://www.json.org/ Might be fun to rig a Solr XML feed to a Flex UI...now that it's free. (Stop reading now if you don't want to hear about Flex.) Dunno if anyone has noticed, but Macromederrrr, Adobe is says on their site that the core Flex 2.0 SDK and distribution will be free. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flexframework2/ "At the core of Flex 2.0 is the Flex framework, which is included with Flex Builder and will also be distributed in the free Flex Software Development Kit (SDK). Using only the free Flex SDK, you can commercially deploy Flex applications that connect to XML and SOAP web services with no additional costs or server licensing required." Note the limitation of XML services and/or SOAP Services (both lowercase and upper intentional). The uninitiated might wonder why this is considered a limit. The "Flex Data Services" server piece (which will still cost big bucks) provides a super-easy super-fast binary-proto-over-the-wire auto-serialization auto-conversion-to-ActionScript-data-types RPC mechanism that can leverage existing POJO's on the server with finegrained declarative security. A mouthful of buzzwords that truly is worth something... but not sure it's worth the price they're asking. ;-) Oh, and for all you Eclipse freaks... the new FlexBuilder IDE is based on Eclipse. -T --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
