[geGIS] Flex in geomajas

>From a user perspective it's not easy to integrate flash. Most people in the public sector don't have the right to install any kind of software. A lot of the ideas behind geGIS/MAJAS are getting lost with the integration of flash.

Onderwerp: [geGIS] Flex in geomajas

Hi,

i've been running tests on using Flex as a mapping technology for geomajas. The first results seem very promising: it is very fast and relatively easy to program for. Besides, Flex (or flash) has a market penetration of over 90% (flash 9 that is).
The downside is that the bridge between Javascript and Flex' 
ActionScript is slow. So we should avoid sending large datastreams (large amount of features) over it.

Anyway, the main question it wanted to ask on this list, is this:
how commited is everyone to browser built-in technologies (such as VML in Internet explorer or SVG in FireFox)?

We could for example simply throw out both VML and SVG, and replace them both with flex, but i am afraid that many companies' IT sections will object to geomajas requiring a plugin to work...

Any thoughts?
