Midnight Coders adds AJAX, ColdFusion to RIA platform

Posted on Aug 15, 2005

I came across an InfoWorld article about a RIA platform called WebORB (previously FlashORB). The article discusses that the (apparently soon to be released) platform has added the ability to use AJAX in addition to Flash on the client side and has also added the ability to connect their platform to CFCs on the server side. One interesting item that caught my eye was that "WebORB Presentation Server is available in fee-based and free editions." In reading the sites licensing documentation, it claims that "the Standard Edition is free for most commercial uses" (although their explanation link is not working) and "does not have any technical limitations." The examples were interesting, though nothing that really wow-ed me. That being said, it might be worth examining once the new version is released...anyone have any experience with this product?

Terry Nisenbaum Hi Brian,

The new version is out as a Beta release. You can download it from: http://www.themidnightcoders.com/download (registration required).

I am trying to see which link is broken. Could you please point me out?

thanks,
Terry

Brian Rinaldi Terry, Thanks for the response. I intend to try out the software. Broken is probably the wrong word...the link that says "(see explanation here)" on the licensing details page takes me to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flashorb/message/146 which simply says "You are not a member of the group flashorb."
