ABAP - AMF

[Former Member]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to communicate with Flex/Air application from SAP (ABAP/BSP) directly in AMF.

I have an application (both Air and Flex) which communicate with SAP using XML. But for line item data XML is too large and application appear to be stuck while loading XML.

I want to avoid Blaze DS or other remoting service if possible, coz of the infrastructure concerns.

Any thoughts experts or lead on how this can be done..

Which is more efficient protocol for communicating to ABAP backend - JSON or AMF ?

What are pros and cons of each approach ?

Hi,

On the paper, it is AMF.

Check Census by james Ward.

It should be much faster in AMF. There would be some processing on the Java side to convert to AMF but, I can't imagine it would be more intense then going to JSON. On client side the object is "native" to the player so it basically just moves the object into memory no marshaling required. Having an AMF library in ABAP would be pretty amazing.
