Whats the difference between 4D for Flex and DAX?
They both target developing RIAs for a 4D Server. But, they really follow two different schemes: 4D for Flex works in a connected mode, without any component on Server side. The communication between the client and the Server relies on a proprietary SQL protocol (same as the one used for ODBC support for 4D SQL), so it requires opening a special port on firewalls for allowing communication.
