Java x AS extensions

[hostcgs]

Hello,
I am begging to develop my server side extensions and there raised some questions wheter to use Java or AS extensions.

Is there any difference of functionalities?
I mean, is there something i can accomplish with java and cant with AS?

Is there such a BIG difference on performace?

On a testing enviroment user cant really tell this performace issue with AS, my question if on a production enviroment with 1000 users it will make a difference?


Thanks in advance !

Hello,

This has been discussed before.

Personally, I would recommend going for java extension. Developing one with NetBeans or Eclipse is like a piece of cake due to code hint, real-time syntax/error check, code navigating and so on. Also, whenever an exception occurs, it is much easier to track down the error using java extension as the line numbering will match.

Below is a list of other threads about Java vs Actionscript, from using the Search tool:
