What I found interesting:
- Detailed description of the AMF (Action Message Format) binary data protocol
- WebORB Business model is set up for small to medium businesses*
Good question by host "Why have AMF when there are other options?"
All options based on the HTTP(rotocol). The three basic options are HTML, Web services (SOAP, JSON, etc) and Remoting. One differentiator with Remoting and consequently AMF is its performance advantage. Another is the rapid data transmission it offers. Finally, security is a big part of it. Methods in Html and Web Services require security metadata, such as lock and key pairs, ciphers and such, so that if packets are intercepted, they cannot be compromised. Remoting on the other hand has easier security management. The container is running on the server side, so it is responsible for serializing the data before it is released into any security-sensitive zone. Interesting considerations.
