As InfoQ reported based on Forester's report, RIA is proliferating in enterprise information workplaces. One of challenges faces a maturing development platform for developing mission critical systems is to produce quality, scalable and well tested applications. Radview's Webload Flex Add-on is a testing tool to help load testing Adobe Flex application.
The WebLOAD Flex Add-On enables users to record, edit, parameterize and load test rich internet applications that are based on Adobe Flex 2 Environment. With the Add-On a Flex application test can be planed and executed to simulate the true nature of Flex Applications. This includes the effects of real user load on the application services running within the Flex environment.
In a nut shell, WebLOAD Flex Add-on works as a record-and-play mechanism. As Radview states:
Designed specifically for Adobe Flex, the WebLOAD Flex Add-On includes a specialized protocol recorder that intelligently records the Adobe Messaging Format (AMF) protocol into a format common to WebLOAD¡¯s Integrated Development Environment. The recording of AMF traffic automatically generates the corresponding JavaScript data structure. This enables viewing, editing, debugging and automatic verification of messages sent to the server and the AMF response returning from the server.
WebLOAD is a J2EE implementation and it uses JMX protocol to monitor run-time statistics from the Adobe LiveCycle Data Services SE Server. Adobe's recent move to open source LiveCycle Data Service server as BalzeDS (see InfoQ report) will certainly boost the usage of AMF based RIA server messaging. WebLOAD for Flex is providing improved ensuring for such enterprise RIA development.
A RIA system usually is very interactive and representing data from multiple sources. One significant feature of WebLOAD fits such RIA application is its supports of multiple protocols per session. Besides AMF, other web messaging protocols are also supported, including, XML, SOAP and REST.Unix, Linux Uptime & Reliability Increase While Patch Management Woes Plague Windows (Yankee Group)

Consolidation and Virtualization Are NOT Enough: The Case for Non-x86
Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
