Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Man, the last couple of days were trying to survive from the flew and trying to get Eclipse, FlexBuilder and BlazeDS working on Ubuntu. Not an easy task if you never worked in Ubuntu. At the university we did see some Linux scripting, but that’s a long time ago.

Anyway, I got it starting, but probably not the way it should. For instance I need to start Eclipse as root because apperently I installed it as root (sudo?).

The latest FlexBuilder Linux build doesn’t work with the latest Eclipse 3.3. On Vista we had the same problem but a new FlexBuilder release solved the problem. Guess Linux has to wait a while. With Eclipse 3.3 you get an assertion error. With Eclipse 3.2 everything works like a charm.

The instructions to install BlazeDS were not that simple but with the little things I remembered from HighSchool I managed. Now I’m off to play a little bit with BlazeDS. I want to know if it’s capable of replacing WebORB for .NET. The thing I’m curious about is the easy way objects can be saved, offline modus, messaging, sub/prod, …

If I’m right, BlazeDS is free and opensource. FMS is not. FMS seems to have Video streaming and a lot of other things not included with BlazeDS. FMS is also a lot of money… But if a lot of time can be saved with it, why not do the investment.

Hey, if you’re looking to Blaze and FMS, why not look to Red5? OpenSource and has the best of both worlds…

Yeps, well, after some search and questions, I realized that Livecycle had all the things that I was looking for. I quickly also realized the price of livecycle… quite expensive… So next thing is try some things with livecycle.

We also use Red5 in another project for video streaming. WebORB also supports it but we couldn’t get it working with AS2. Red5 was up and running in no time, so we used that instead of WebORB. Red5 is certainly something I need to take a closer look at. Does it support messaging?

What I really liked about livecycle was the way you could save VO’s from the Flex side, concurrency conflicts that are taken care of, offline synchronisation… Those things could save me a lot of time and maybe more money than the price of livecycle…

@bert: Do you have a lot of experience with Red5?

Well, bert, there’s definitely a lot of examples on the red5 page which I like a lot. And I can see Chat examples so that seems very usefull. I was going to do a sort of comparison between WebORB, FluorineFX, BlazeDS and LiveCyle but I’ll take Red5 with it! Thx!
