    Are you looking for an open source alternative to Macromedia's Flash Communication Server? You should take a look at the Red5 project: http://www.osflash.org/red5

    If you need an alternative to Flex Data Services, check out: www.graniteds.org

    I'm looking for a way to PUSH data to the client. And with the AMF-capabilities of OpenAMF I was thinking it would be nice to PUSH Flex Objects to the client. Since sockets provide this capability, you could even have it be a type of Gateway. So that developers could switch back and forth on what kind of gateway is needed for what kind of work. With a multi-threaded socket server running in the background there is ALOT you could do with a Flex app...

    I am looking into both projects you pointed out tho. Red5 I have heard of, and I am reading up on GraniteDS.

    Either way thanks... and please consider offering a socket server setting for the Gateways. I really think it would bring this project some much needed attention and use. Just a thought tho...

    On a side note: I can't find a forum where I can post questions. I pulled the source of this project into my eclipse-based Java-editor and I got 100 Errors... stuff like Channel is not a defined TYPE... stuff like that. Is there a forum? Cause I would hassle you guys to no end ( chuckle ). I am just getting into Java myself and have a hundred questions or more. Thanks tho for the reply...
