[Red5devs] OpenAMF and BlazeDS

[Chris Allen]

Ryan,

I have to disagree with you on this one. While yes, Red5 can certainly
do all of the FMS stuff as you described, it also makes one kick ass
J2EE server, supporting Flash Remoting and RTMP for data transfer of
any type.

I like Thijs' explanation better. Anyway, in a way you guys are both right.
