Java Object Access in Google App Engine from Flex/Flash, Silverlight, JavaScript and Android

One of the new features in WebORB for Java v.4.1 is support for Google App Engine integration. With the integration any Java class or Spring bean deployed into a Google App Engine application can be accessed by all the client types supported by WebORB. The list of the supported clients includes: Flex/Flash, Silverlight, JavaScript/AJAX, Android, Windows Phone and in the very near future iOS clients. The clients can invoke methods on the deployed Java services and exchange data using primitive and complex types, arrays, collections, etc. By using WebORB as the client/server integration tier, your application will greatly benefit from the superior performance enabled by the product as well as significantly streamlined application development process.

WebORB for the Cloud Webinar

Let’s start with a quick definition first:

‘WebORB for the Cloud’ is a composite term we use to describe any flavor of our product (WebORB for .NET, Java, PHP) running in the cloud. By ‘cloud’ we mean all major cloud computing providers, including Microsoft Azure, Amazon EC2 and Google App Engine.

The benefits of cloud-based deployments are huge. You can easily scale out your infrastructure to keep up with the growing customer traffic, better control your costs and leverage the infrastructure of the cloud providers for data persistence or message queuing. However, the client/server integration problem still remains. Whether it is Flex, Flash, Silverlight, AJAX, iOS or Android clients, there is a need for mechanism to efficiently communicate with the server-side, (remotely) work with data, subscribe to receive messages from or publish messages into queues. This is where WebORB for the Cloud comes in. One of our goals for this year is to provide a universal connectivity between all major client-side environments and services hosted (through WebORB) in the cloud. Throughout the year we will be conducting online webinars to unveil new functionality, educate and inform about Cloud-based features and capabilities of our product. A recording of the first installment in that webinar series is below. The webinar focused primarily on WebORB for .NET and Microsoft Azure, with a brief overview of WebORB for Java and Google App Engine. Enjoy!
