I this link on Ben Forta's blog about a new project called Ajax Data Services on Adobe Labs.

This Library lets you embed an invisible SWF file in your web page, and then use Flex Data Services to push data to your HTML content. It is extremely difficult to push to AJAX clients without a technology like this for developers.

Hans's Gravatar But for $20k per CPU the vast majority of Ajax developers will continue to prefer "extremely difficult".

charlie arehart's Gravatar I see Hans is dropping his observation wherever he can. :-) (He said it on Ben's blog as well.) Just in case anyone doesn't read it, I'll share what I just did there:

Hans, are you aware of the free, limited-production version of Flex Data Services Express 2? It would probably suit the needs of most. The couple of limitations are listed here:

David Fekke's Gravatar Thats a good point Charlie. There is a free version of FDS. The ability to real time messaging between a server to a AJAX client is very powerful.

Adobe lists the following prices for FDS;

FREE/Express (commercial-use product limited to 1 CPU implementations with no clustering)

US$6,000/CPU for Department Edition (100 concurrent users)

The enterprise version is the most expensive version. The way most companies do business, this cost is passed off to the customer.
US$20,000/CPU for Enterprise Edition
