As someone who has developed applications on Flex Enterprise Services, Flex Data Services, LiveCycle Data Services, and whatever else they have called it over the years, I am very glad to see the introduction of BlazeDS. I am sure those who have been paying the bills for the FDS, FES, LCDS, etc wil be happy as well. Why? Because it is now going to be a free open source product!
From Ted’s Blog:
“Today we released a new java solution providing a reference implementation of remoting and messaging. Blaze DS provides a 100% free and OSS solution for optimized data exchange using Java. This release not only includes support for remoting using AMF but also supports long poll messaging over http on port 80. Blaze DS bridges a gap in the LiveCycle DS product line in providing a free and open source solution for exchanging data with Flex. Blaze DS also contains a full AMF3 reference implementation for remoting and messaging in Java easily portable to any server-side platform.”

From what I’ve read BlazeDS is not replacing Adobe LiveCycle Data Services, BlazeDS is part of Adobe LiveCycle Data Services Enterprise Suite.
As well as open sourcing this part, Adobe will introduce Adobe LiveCycle Data Services Community Edition, which will be a subscription service providing certified builds of BlazeDS, support and benefits, such as product warranty and infringement indemnity.
Adobe LiveCycle Data Services Enterprise Suite will remain a commercial product offering better scalability, sycronization etc.

Actually the Remoting and Messaging part (as well as the AMF protocol) will be open sourced. The Data Management part will is something you’ll still have to pay for.

Ah, well perhaps I overestimated the open source piece. The downloaded samples, seem to have all that I am used to with LCDS as far as connection to my back end Java classes for data access.
