I’m not sure if this affect or reflect any perspective of Adobe Folks out there. But BlazeDS is begining filling the gaps with Brazilian community who develop and integrate Java backend with Flex/AIR.
Before BlazeDS the big discussion concern on how to get involve a strong way to put Flex and Java working side-by-side with no interruption and a small price was very dificult question to answer.
LiveCycle DataService in Brazil isn’t too many companies that will buy because the price of license and every executive of IT spot always asks to a alternative with slow costs to the them.
Well if the LiveCycle was not first adoption, how they solved their problems with integration. As well as from now the WebOrb for Java is a great competitor for liveCycle and now BlazeDS, but SabreAMF and GraniteDS (even for not production) was the first choice of them.
So, But now giving a quick search into the Flex-Brazil group you can find 20 messages exchanges across the two big companies in Brazil who are also begining developing their products into the BlazeDS.
Good to see that BlazeDS is growing in adoption, right side down here in Brazil.
