WebORB for Rails (now with Flex RPC integration!)

When you are the very first person on the planet to try something really, really cool, it feels absolutely phenomenal!! Today is one of those days when after a streak of countless hours the team held is breath and Harris pushed a button in his Flex client and flawlessly invoked a method in a Ruby object using the following AS3 code:

var remoteObject = new RemoteObject();
remoteObject.destination = "FlexRemotingTest";
remoteObject.echoInt.addEventListener("result", onEchoInt);
remoteObject.addEventListener("fault", onFault);
remoteObject.echoInt( 1 );

Super small step for our little (but extremely mighty) development team - a HUGE step for the worldwide Flex and Ruby on Rails development community. Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to be the first to announce: Midnight Coders has done the very first successful invocation of Ruby from Flex using AMF3! (I feel like I just came from a space flight..)

Here are a few supporting screenshots:
