Hi Lenny,
glad to hear things CAN work smoothly - I'm a bit frustrated at the moment
coming from the other side of the spectrum - new to Java, well versed in
Flash. How can I obtain the latest version of Red5.war from cvs? Maybe you
could detail your deployment strategy in more depth - I'd really appreciate
it.
Thanks
David
