Re: R: Messaging services struggle

Thank you for the insight. But then, what's the use of the messaging classes
(org.red5.compatibility.flex.messaging.messages.*). They appear suited to
deal with destinations, channels, consumers, producers and so on and with a
messaging model based on a produce/subscribe model. I may be dead wrong, but
I can't understand what else these classas could be about.
Any hints?
