The new products extend Macromedia's technology beyond its own ColdFusion MX and JRun platforms to third-party application severs, including IBM WebSphere and BEA WebLogic Server, said David Gruber, Macromedia senior product marketing manager for Flash Remoting MX, in Newton, Mass.

"What's new is we have previously shipped this technology as part of our own server technology," and now, Macromedia is making Flash usable directly with .Net and Java technologies, Gruber said.

Developers can access Web application services such as EJB (Enterprise Java Beans), .Net components, Macromedia ColdFusion components, or SOAP-based Web services through the use of four commands.

"Flash technology brings a rich Windows-like experience inside the context of a browser," Gruber said.

Macromedia Flash Remoting MX for .Net supports ASP.Net pages, ADO.Net objects, DLLs, Assemblies, and Web services. The Java version supports Java Objects, Java Beans, and J2EE resources including Java classes, EJBs, and JMX beans.

Macromedia now can connect to legacy applications that were built in Java but did not support Flash, Gruber said.

Macromedia Flash Remoting MX also includes new capabilities for record set handling and databinding to simplify development.

An early user of Macromedia Flash Routing MX for Java said the product had eliminated a lot of legwork as far as code writing.

"We love it for doing applications that have Flash interfaces. It definitely streamlines a lot of development," said Alon Salant, principal at Carbon Five, a San Francisco developer of custom J2EE applications.

Carbon Five builds a services-based architecture and uses Flash Remoting to assemble a series of business functionalities, Salant said.

Before Flash Remoting, Carbon Five built solutions that sent objects serialized as XML, and then sent them to Flash. Flash Remoting MX for Java "lets you talk to objects between Flash and the server, which is great," said Salant.

Carbon Five did have to build a utility as a translator for passing objects between Flash and the application server, Salant said. But this development was a one-time-only necessity, he added.

Salant also cautioned that developers need to be aware of security concerns.

"What you're essentially doing is you're exposing objects on the server to the outside world," Salant said. "You need to make sure that you actually want to be exposing services," and determine whether there should be limitations on access, he said.

The new products are available on Monday and cost $999 per processor. The functionality also is available natively in Macromedia ColdFusion MX and JRun 4.

Do you use adaware? If so that could be your problem, it deletes certain files kazaa needs to run.

I have to say, I'm really impressed. I like the new options to [b]not[/b] install all the extra stuff too. And it's very fast, with releases and the program itself!

Ok, how do I install new skins? The menu where it is suppose to be able to download them is blank.
Quote this comment Reply to this comment #11 Posted by TeeBall_Mark on 24 Sep 2002 - 03:26
Although it may be an inconveinance, you may download the new skins using the P2P search field and just type in 'skins', and they'll come up. you can install them simply by going to "my kazaa" and goto where it says software and you'll find them there. Hope this helps most of you. The rubbercake skin is the one I like best so far.....there are actually 3 skins to choose from, although Kazaa only advertises 2 of them.

For some reason this just won't load on my machine. I install, click on the icon and nothing happens. It happened with 1.72 as well, so I switched to winmx. Would like to try kazaa out again though. Can anyone confirm that it still uses port 1214 to do all its communication?

It says you're supposed to uninstall V 1.7.2 before installing 2.0, but I just installed right over it.....still works

Couple questions as I've never used Kazaa or Kazaa Lite, only Morpheus and WinMX of late. All I have to do is download and install this like any other program? No need to install the regular Kazaa? How come the new version isn't on the Kazaa Lite site? Thanks.
