Java in the RIA space, comeback or always there?

Ryan’s article about Java making a comeback was interesting. But it made me think of a key figure in the Java RIA space that has been competing way before Adobe Flex. Its called Nexaweb. A big part of the RIA space is timing. It just now that the internet as a whole are embracing RIA applications like never before.

Interesting to think that Java has been in this space longer than anyone else. Will they redefine themselves or continue be rooted in their original “Sunny” looking future. Nexaweb themselves made the change to provide AJAX features in connection to there applet UI offering. Where Nexaweb’s other offerings provide tools not just for RIA on the front in but a whole backend solution.

Now I am a big Adobe Flex/Flash fan and think it will take over the world. But history also is not that simple, there will be a number of key players in each space which always comes down to implementation and execution. There will be some pretty crappy Flex applications made that will only hamper the movement. You can’t forget that a lot of Flex backends are and will be built on Java also.

Ryan所写的文章关于Java的复兴很有意思。但是他让我想到比Adobe Flexæ›´æ—©çš„Java RIA关键数字,它叫Nexaweb。RIA 的大部分就是时间。总地来说因特网刚开始掌握RIA的应用。想到Java也比任何人更早地占着这个空间很有意思。他们会不会改变自己或继续在他们原来的 “Sunny”前途往前走。Nexaweb为了与自己的支程序UI供给AJAX的面貌选择改变了自己。其他的Nexaweb选择提供的工具不仅是为RIA 的前面也是提供一个全面的背后答案。我是Adobe Flex/Flash的爱好者, 也想它会占领这世界, 但是历史不是那么容易, 在各个领域一定会有更多的关键人物,总是来到贯彻性和执行。一定会有一些糟糕Flex应用使动作的妨碍。不可忘记的事–很多的Flex背后也就是在 Java建立了。
