Does All Server Side?

[Georgie]

Does all server side have to be done in Java?

[ThomasLund]

For now I think so yes - I do not know the plans for adding additional languages on the server side. Better ask over in the "regular" parts of the SFS2X forums about that part

Just for reference here, you can still use Rhino to incorporate some scripting languages, but not AS3. It'll add a lot more complexity to your system though.

From the 2X docs

http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/Advanc ... extensions

Performance: extensions written in Java perform orders of magnitude better than any scripting language such as Javascript or Python. With a new server architecture oriented to enterprise-level applications the use of dynamic languages would soon become a bottleneck. We still think that scriping is a great way for quickly prototyping ideas but we don't recommend it in production. You will still be able to plugin dynamic language engines such as Rhino and Jython for this purpose.

That makes sense, I've never done Java but it looks easy enough.
