WebORB for Ruby on Rails is here!

WebORB for Rails is server-side technology enabling connectivity between Flex and Flash Remoting clients and Ruby on Rails applications. WebORB for Rails can be installed as a plugin into any Rails application to expose Ruby classes as remote services. The product provides a complete implementation of the Adobe's AMF0 and AMF3 messaging protocols and thus supports any Flash Remoting or Flex client.

Flex Builder projects can be configured to use Flex Data Services and point to a WebORB for Rails installation, however, the current release supports only the RPC featureset of the Flex Data Services technology.

WebORB is installed as a Rails plugin. Flex client applications address the product as a Flex Data Services server (the current release supports only the RPC subsystem). Flash Remoting applications can connect to WebORB as a Flash Remoting gateway. The product receives and processes remoting requests from Flex or Flash clients and performs method invocations on Ruby classes deployed in the Rails application.
