Web services Question

Former Community Member
Hi,



I am with an audio test and measurement company. I am
interested in using Flex as a GUI for new products.

My question is: If I want to create a web service that is
used to control, and get readings from an embedded web server on a
local LAN, what is the best (fastest) protocol to use? SOAP? Java?
My concern is that updating level and distortion meters on the
client would be too slow. From the user perspective a live meter
reading should bobble digits 2-3 times per second to simulate an
average DMM readout. Once per second would be too slow and 2-3
seconds would be unusable.



Any insight will be much appreciated, Thanks

I would avoid SOAP / WebServices for this task and just use
plain text via

HTTPService.
