Adobe Blazes Into Open Source With Data Services


By David Rubinstein
December 13, 2007 — 
Adobe Systems wants to end 2007 in a blaze of glory, with the impending release of the source code for the remote invocation and publish/subscribe technology found in its LiveCycle Data Services software. Blaze DS is the name of the open source software and the Web-based community Adobe is building around the project.

The company plans to follow the open source business model of making the software free but also offering a subscription edition—the LiveCycle Data Services Community Edition—that provides Adobe support and regular software updates and patches, according to Tom Barclay, Adobe's senior product marketing manager.

The code, used for advanced data integration capabilities, handles the marshaling of data by using Adobe's proprietary Action Message Format, the binary data protocol used in Flash that Barclay said the company would also make available. He added that Blaze will also accommodate HTTP streaming, a standards-based Web protocol that creates persistence for the ability to push data to users.

The code is being made available under the LGPL license, according to the company's announcement today<< Dec. 13>>. Barclay said that, at first, only Adobe engineers will be able to add to the codebase, but that outside committers will be added in time. "That will create more uses that weren't available," he said. "Our [data services] are for Java and ColdFusion, and we want versions for PHP and .NET."

Also released today << Dec. 13>> were beta 3 versions of the Adobe AIR runtime, which now includes the latest Flash player, multicore support and the H.264 video codec; and Flex 3.0, the company's environment for creating and deploying rich Internet applications.
