Flex Viewer 开发教程（7）Widget与服务器交互

 

本小节将不涉及具体的代码细节，因为Widget与服务器的交互不会因为Flex Viewer的架构而有所不同，了解了Flex程序如何与服务器端进行交互，直接应用到Widget中即可。下表是Flex与服务器端进行交互可用的技术，具体细节可参考《Flex 4 in Action》中的第15章。

Communication Server Support	Application	Benefits
HTTP (includes REST and RPC hybrids)   -All	Simple Widget-based applications; speed and real-time UI updates aren’t required.	Easy implementation via the HTTPService object; RPC hybrid protocols can be invoked using RemoteObject.
SOAP/WSDL   -All	Data aggregation from external web services.	Easy implementation; pull data from multiple outside resources regardless of platform.
AML   -BlazeDS&LiveCycle Data Services(LCDS):Java,   -.NETZend: PHP   -AMFPHP: PHP   -WebOrb: .NET, Ruby, PHP	Approaching enterprise level; speed is important; data is usually pulled from server by polling.	Binary data compression makes communications 12 times faster; strong data typing; multiplatform support.
RTMP   -LiveCycle Data Services(LCDS),   -Flash Media Server(FMS)	Enterprise level, messaging, instantaneous UI updates; data can be pushed to the client; streaming media content; data intensive RIAs.	Integrates into existing J2EE infrastructure; document management, rapid data transfer, clustering, data tracking, syncing, paging, and conflict resolution.
Flash Remoting   -Native to ColdFusion	Robust, enterprise platform for client/server Flex communications; native.	Seamless integration with the Flash platform; removes the need for an intermediate code library to do data type mapping and date serialization.
JSON   -All (JavaScript data objects are serialized and transferred in binary form.)	AIR applications that use AJAX or Flex applications that use the ExternalInterface API.	Easy implementation with the HTTPService object; part of the AS3CorLib library.
