You probably should get Armadillo to test it. There's a demo available on their site. I tested it and it does'nt work for me :-( But there's one thing and it is that I use the framework CodeMine and that seems to give problems to Armadillo for whatever reasons. So I guess that you'll have to test it with your app to see how it goes.
