RemoteObjectAMFO update to latest Cairngorm

[lang_en] The RemoteObjectAMF0 class and sample code have been updated to reflect the latest Cairngorm package. You can find Cairngorm for Flex2 on the labs.adobe.com site.

Java in the RIA space, comeback or always there?

[lang_en] 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.
