[flexcoders] Flex and Load Balancing
We'd like to use Flex in an enterprise deployment, where all HTTP requests are handled and dispatched by a Radware load balancer.We are getting a bit of push-back from our client. Our client has seen in the past that the Radware load balancers don't work exactly as expected when tunnelling other protocols over HTTP ( e.g. Java RMI). We want to make sure that the Radware load balancers can handle Flex invocations over HTTP without any problems. These guys need pertinent information to relieve risk-based stress. ;-)Do any of you have any data that indicates that Radware load balancers are fully compatible with Flex remoting?

RE: [flexcoders] Flex and Load Balancing
Hi Leif, All Flex remoting calls are AMF over HTTP/S, so should seamlessly integrate with your load balancer. The problem with RMI will have been was that it was not going over HTTP. I've not actually used Flex with Radware, but I'd be very surprised if there were any issues.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex and Load Balancing
RemoteObject uses HTTP and should work fine in a load-balanced environment. The other services (HTTPService and WebService) also do their work over HTTP. Do you anticipate needing stateful Java classes or will everything work in a stateless environment? The only thing I can imagine is if somehow the Radware balancers require url-rewriting or some mechanism for supporting sticky sessions that we wouldn’t automatically support, but I tend to think we’d be fine. Don’t have anything official for you though or actual experience with Radware.
