Still remember the great company Caucho? Yes, it’s still alive. Besides its flagship product Resin, it also provides some open source libraries.

Actually, there are 2 remoting libraries you can use. One is Burlap, and another is Hessian. Hessian is the binary protocol implementation of Burlap. Burlap is xml based RPC. That’s quick easy to use in Spring framework, but 2 years ago, only be available in Java world. Now, it’s changed a lot. Take a look at Hessian, it’s pretty cool, so many implementations for different languages. Especially for Flex.

Hessian is very similar to AMF, but without any performance comparison, I don’t know which is more efficient. Anyway, we have one more solution for Flex Remoting, which from the Java world. That’s great!

Here is an example how to use Hessian in Flex.
Hessian: Flex Remoting Without AMF

昨天开始看 Flex 相关的东西,打算把一个现有的 Python Web 应用前端逐渐转换成 Flex。向 咖啡屋的鼠标 了解了下 Flex 如何与后端应用通讯,知道了一个新的协议叫做 AMF,是 Flash/Flex 原生支持的 RPC 协议,而且用起来也要比 XML 方式更加简单。

正好又一个 Python 的实现叫做 PyAMF 可以做协议的解析,很不错!

Adobe Flex 目前势头正劲啊,看看下面的两张统计图:

 1、来自 dice.com 的职位统计 

2、与其他 Java Web 框架相比在邮件列表的活跃程度,OpenLazslo 过的很艰难啊,用户群太小了
