WebORB for JAVA 3.0 推出 – 全部免費
新聞稿重點擷錄:
1. You get all the product features absolutely FREE. This includes development, staging, production and redistribution
看清楚,不是只有 dev, staging而已喔,還包含 production & redistribution (是怎樣?被雷打到了?還是中了 powerball ?)
2. Flex and Flash remoting support.
Flex clients can use the RemoteObject API/MXML to connect to the deployed Java applications. Flash clients can use Flash Remoting components or the NetConnection API.
終於支援 RemoteObject tag 了,它算是所有 AMF3 Java implementation 裏最慢的一個囉(當然那個根本已死的 OpenAMF 就不算入了)
3. Product supports POJOs, Spring Beans, EJBs, Groovy objects, XML web services and custom object types. You can easily target any of the listed types from Flex or Flash clients.
4. The product can be deployed into any Java EE server or servlet container.
5. No additional configuration required to publish Java classes as remoting services. Classes can be deployed into WebORB just by copying them into WEB-INF\classes or WEB-INF\lib folders (packaged in JARs).
6. Management console.
WebORB for Java features a Flex-based managenent console which includes everything to get started with the product. There are plenty of examples, service browser, invocation test drive and service-level security.
簡單幾點想法:
1、他們終於擺脫三人組,開始有 VP of Sales & Marketing 了耶,而且從名字 (Kathleen)看來似乎是個女生,該不會是 Mark Piller 新女友或老婆吧?XD
2、老習慣,還是會問一下,why ? and why now ? off top of my head, I could think of these…
關於第一個 why:
-這市場上其實已經不缺 AMF3 gateway implementation in Java 了,Red5, GDS 其實都已經做好這部份的 serializer/deserializer 而且都是 open source,借力使力本來就沒啥成本,而 gateway 終究就是個,呃,gateway,一旦 serializer/deserializer 做完其實90%的工作就完成了,要推出新版根本是很容易啊。
-另一方面,FDS(嗯,是 LCDS)價格也已大落,但提供的 messaging 等附加功能卻強許多,因此如果想賺錢,大概只能從這部份下手,基本的純 gateway 不如免費放送還樂的多點 beta tester (雖然以他們超級有限的人力,我很懷疑如潮水般湧來的 bug reports 會不會把他們撐死…)
-傳統上來說,採用 Java 的企業主有花錢買 support & service 的習慣,因此 open source 那套手法在這個市場可能有機會玩的起來(但 java 這群人也有苦幹實幹的良好傳統,遇到問題通常傾向自已直接做掉啊,可能根本不會開口要服務 XD)
至於 why now ?
-還記得 這篇 裏提過 adobe 即將宣佈關於 AMF 的大計畫嗎?start connecting the dots baby !
總之,在 AMF3 面市後的一年半,終於所有主流的 AMF3 gateway 都到位了,至於要怎麼選就看個人喜好了,基本原則是:
有錢大爺用 FDS
喜歡自虐用 Red5
勇於嚐新用 GDS
簡單樸實用 WebORB
食古不化用 OpenAMF

Hello:
Thank you for posting information about WebORB for Java. I tried to convert the Kanji characters in English as much as I could. Part of it was funny.
As for our latest release, we’ve chosen to release licenses for FREE to enable more developers to have access to this feature rich integration platform. You will notice that other open source implementations do not have an easy to use data management console that facilitates rapid integration. We’re also making available a suite of four support options for those customers that would like to use open source, but need to have support. Hope this helps your developers more with their selection criteria. Cheers, Kathleen
I’ve provided a Google Translation of the above text below:
您好:
谢谢你张贴信息weborb为java 。我试图转换成汉字字符的英文像我一样这么能。它的一部分是好笑。不,我不是马克的女朋友,而是一个专业的女长官对工作人员在午夜编码。
至于我们的最新版本,我们已经选择了释放许可证免费,使更多的开发者有机会获得这个功能丰富的集成平台。你会发现其他开放源码没有一个易于使用的数据管理平台,便于快速集成。我们还提供了1套4个支持选项,对于那些客户愿意使用开放源代码,但是需要有支持。希望这有助于你的开发更符合他们的选择标准。欢呼声,凯瑟琳

hey Kathleen,
Thanks for dropping by the blog and providing those details, weborb would indeed comes in handy with the management console and support.
btw, the translation is really hilarious
