WebORB for Java
WebORB for Java is a high-performing, multi-functional development and runtime environment that is designed to effortlessly connect Flex, Flash, AJAX and Silverlight clients with Java objects, Spring Beans, EJBs (v1, v2 or v3) or XML Web Services, native operating system resources and rich media streams (audio and video). Some of the key benefits of using WebORB include ease of development, improved development workflow, reduced code base to write and manage, reduced development cost and faster time to market.
Getting started with WebORB is easy - just download and install a FREE copy of WebORB running in Development Mode - into any J2EE server or servlet engine. The installer creates a sample reference installation where you can see and try all the features. The best way to start is open the management console and explore the documentation and examples.
