Java Pushing data to Comm Server
I have a dilemma. Flash Com Server is great for Push architectures. In fact, timely retrieval of information is what it was designed for. However, there is a problem that I do not have the answer to. With Flash Remoting you can make use of Java Classes, Servlets, etc. But this is over HTTP so you can only Poll (meaning query the server at intervals). Combine Flash Communication Server with Remoting and you have Flash Comm Server Remoting. Great, now we can push data that is in AMF (Action Message Format) to the client as opposed to having them Poll. I like this so far.
My problem arises when I want to have JAVA trigger the push via the Comm Server. So that means Java must be able to randomly either A) Add to the SharedObject so that all movies update or B) Tell the server Side Actionscript to update (I.e. call a ActionScript method)...
Any takers? Macromedia people?
