Customizing server.name and server.port in services-config.xml

Hi
How can i find out what does BlazeDs use for server.name and server.port in
url="http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf"
can i customize those values?
thank you

Mete
Thank you for your reply
So context.root is resolved at compile time and server & port at runtime
Do you have an example or a link that shows / explain how to create custom tokens replaced by JVM options?
I have an issue where if i install my app on http://www.mydomain.com/mycontext/, it loads but will display the following message when making server call using Safari
FAULT: faultCode:Client.Error.MessageSend faultString:Send failed faultDetail:Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed: url: http://www.mydomain.com/context/messagebroker/amf
Notte that it works on IE7 when accessing http://www.mydomain.com/mycontext/
and that it works great with all browsers on http://localhost:8080/mycontextroot
Would you know what is the best way to debug this issue?
Thank you
matt

Does it actualy matter what you have on your remote server for services-config.xml

Hi there, does it actualy matter what you have on your remote server for services-config.xml ?
Does the information not just get baked into the flex 3 app at compile time on my local computer?

I don't think this is right!
If you don't have any config file, you can set up a remote object. The config file handles the default settings.
If you implement something like
    <mx:RemoteObject id="myService"
        destination="amf"
        source="remoteServiceName"
        endpoint="http://myDomain/amfphp/gateway.php"
        fault="handleFault(event)">
        <mx:method name="test" result="handleResult(event)"/>
    </mx:RemoteObject>
it will work!

Hard-coded endpoint port numbers in services-config.xml

Is it possible to remove hard-coded port numbers in
services-config.xml and replace them with variables? I'd like to
deploy the same Flex application War file (including
services-config.xml within it) to our Dev, UAT and then Production
environments, for which the endpoints and port numbers must vary.
Re-building the app for each environment isn't desirable.
Has anyone else achieved this?

Maybe I can clarify what I mean. I'm assuming that basically
the same war file needs to be deployed twice to the same app
server, as in the original example, excluding changes to config
files (e.g. editing xml=ok, recompiling jars/swf=not ok).
The problem arises because if you were to change the config
file to use another port, it wouldn't make a difference to the
client app, which has the port and destination compiled in. You
would need to compile the app twice, once with the first port, once
with the second.
So my workaround is to compile (not deploy) with a config
file containing two sets of destination channels, then in your
deployed config files you remove one of the sets.
Assuming you want to deploy two instances of an app into a
single app server, there will 3 different configs, one used just to
compile, and one for each of the two deployed instances.
Config A (compilation config files, used only to compile the
flex application, not used during server start up) contains:
my-rtmp1, my-rtmp2, my-destination1, my-destination2.
Config B (server 1-debug) contains: my-rtmp1, my-destination1
Config C (server 2-release) contains: my-rtmp2,
my-destination2
So when you deploy two instances with Config B and Config C,
there is no port conflict. The Flex app then has some parameter set
in the wrapper (or the absence of said parameter could be the
indicator) to tell it whether to use my-rtmp1 or my-rtmp2.
I just tested this and it worked. The way I tested was to add
two buttons to a the Flex app, one which connects to
destination1and performs a fill, one which connections to
destination2 and performs the same operation. This Flex application
was compiled with config A.
I start a server with config B, and the application starts
fine, and the first button gets the fill as expected. The second
button instantly crashes the entire browser with an illegal memory
access exception. The second set of dest/channels aren't listening,
since the server doesn't know anything about them in it's config
file.
So on the bright side, that confirms to me that you can
compile an app with redundant channels and destinations, then
choose which destination/channel you want to use at runtime.
On the down side, being able to consistently cause a crash
like that usually isn't a good sign. I'll look again on Monday, and
raise a Flash bug if it's still present in the latest version.

Hi Mahesh,
According to log file, I find the message ‘The setup100.exe.config file was not found, therefore the DTSWizard and SQLWatson app config files were not replaced’. It seems that the SQL Server setup file is not complete. Please check that if the SQL Server
setup file is corrupted, if it is corrupted, please download it again and reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2.
However, if there’s no problem with the setup file, please check that if there is third-party software such as anti-virus software on your computer blocking the process of SQL Server installation. In addition, make sure that you choose ‘Run as administrator’

How to use URL in actionscript Instead of services-config.xml?

Hi Alls,
I would like to set my service's url in actionScript (I don't
want to use compiler option -services witch need to recompile swf
if you change service's url).
I search for a long time on google but I found nothing, and
adobe documentation isn't very clear.
Thank for help!!!

If you are relying on a services-config.xml file, then this
must be provided
at compile time because the compiler uses it to generate
code.
If you're not using <mx:DataService>, you can actually
avoid compiling against
a services-config.xml file. This is because for the other
services, such
as <mx:RemoteObject> or <mx:WebService
useProxy="true"> or <mx:HTTPService
useProxy="true">, the main thing the compiler does from
services-config.xml
is to generate the code to instantiate the set of channels
that should be
used to contact a destination in LCDS.
Well... you can do that programmatically in ActionScript...
something like
this:
import mx.messaging.ChannelSet;
import mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel;
private function channelInit():void
var channelSet:ChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
var channel:AMFChannel = new AMFChannel(null, "
http://{server.name}:{server.port}/mycontext/messagebroker/amf");
channelSet.addChannel(channel);
myRemoteObject.channelSet = channelSet;
Just make sure you call this initialization code before you
make any service
requests. If you're proxied WebServices, be sure that you use
the ActionScript
API instead of the MXML tag so that you can delay when
loadWSDL() is called
because you'll want to setup the channelSet first.
Regards,
Pete

Setting remote credentials in services-config.xml

Webservice and remoting calls can be restricted access to
CFC's using usernames and passwords. And to 'authenticate', I'm
having trouble setting the <remote-username> and
<remote-password> elements in the services-config.xml
A remoting fault event is dispatched because the tags
(<remote-username> & <remote-password>) "shouldn't"
be in the <properties> element in the destination definition.
I would rather protect that info on my server than compile it in
the swf inside a setRemoteCredentials call, so why isn't the
example from the docs working?

Look at this thread
re:UIX/XML: XSS styleSheets
There is mention of a bug regarding the element to use - <style-sheet> instead of <style-sheet-name>. There might be some other stuff of interest in there as well.
Cheers

Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml.

Hi,
I am tryng to create a Flex Project, but got stuck with an error....
The Error is Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml.
Initially I download jboss-5.1.0.GA and placed it in C folder.
While creating project, I selected J2EE server, selected remote object access service and LiveCycle Data Services...
In the next step, I de-selected the use default location for local LiveCycle Data Services server.
In the root folder - C:\jboss-5.1.0.GA
for Root URL: http://localhost:8700/flex/
Context Root: /flex
when I clicl Validate Configuration.. this is the error I get Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml.
I can't understand what is going wrong here....any ideas....
Thanks for the Help.....
Thanks

Run the wizard, select ColdFusion as the server technology, but don't
check the option to use remote object access service. Then, open the
project properties dialog, go to the Flex Compiler page, and add a the
compiler flag: -services
"C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex\services-config.xml" (obviously
changing the path as appropriate). This flag is what gets set by the
wizard when you opt to use Flash Remoting. -http://www.feed-squirrel.com/index.cfm?evt=viewItem&ID=77732
Above is a work-around/solution that was successful for me. Below are screen shots of how I initially configured the project, following the above solution.
In the image above, notice how I didn't tick the "Use remote object access service" checkbox.
For the image below, the 'Y:\' value is a mapped network directory to my server (IIS) webroot, which is "\\windowsserver/Inetpub/wwwroot/". Root URL is the name of my server. Fill in the fields with correct values and hit finish.
Then navigate ( Project>Properties>Flex Compiler ) to this project's 'Flex Compiler context menu.
And 'W:\' is another mapped network directory that points obviously to my Coldfusion's WEB-INF\flex.
I hope that this helps. As you may see, I'm hoping that this will help you and others that are likely to come across problem.

WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml???

I am confused about this file and it's location. In my
environment (MX
7.02/Apache/Linux) the WEB-INF/flex/ folder resides here:
/opt/coldfusionmx7/wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/
However, the server is configured to serve web pages from
this location:
/apache/html/
my /CFIDE/ folder is located at /apache/html/CFIDE/ but I
have no WEB-INF
folder except in the default location that isn't served up by
the web
server. As I understand it, for flash remoting to work, I
must have the
WEB-INF/flex/ folder in the root of my web server or in the
working folder
of my flex project ON the web server? Is this correct? If so,
must I copy
the WEB-INF folder to my working web document root folder?
I'm very
confused and so far have had HORRIBLE luck trying to get the
most simple
examples to run between Flex and Coldfusion. I am hoping
someone can tell
me what I'm doing wrong or at least point me to some
documentation that
doesn't appear to assume you are running Coldfusion in
Developer mode from
your local workstation (which ALL the samples appear to do).
Thanks for any help, I configured the coldfusion servers here
so I can make
the needed changes, if I only knew what they were and the
documentation
hasn't helped me much.

Services-config.xml with actionscript

I am amazed there is no half way simple method for creating a RTMP consumer without the need for this services-config.xml file. I have to be able to change, on the fly, what server the Flex client subscribes to and have multiple channels open to multiple servers. Maybe this is beyond the scope or capabilities of the RemoteObject, but we should be able create a consumer, channels, adapters and anything else we need without having to use the services-config.xml file.
So here is the actual problem, I have everything working with the exception of messages being returned from the server are never received. I can set up the channels and channelsets, the consumer, and can subscribe and get an ack message back saying it is connected, but no messages ever come back. And yes, we have confirmed the service is getting the subscription and is sending data back to the client if we use the services-config.xml methodology and watch server logs.
In our services-config.xml, I see
<adapters>
     <adapter-definition id="messagingAdapter" class="FluorineFx.Messaging.Services.Messaging.MessagingAdapter" default="true"/>
</adapters>
Is there some way via actionscript to set up these adapters? Even if it means creating custom XML on the fly for the objects to parse thru, which I'm already doing in some places. Where are the adapters definable other than the services-config.xml?
Thanks.
Well the apadters have nothing to do with it as I can remove the mention from the xml and doing things via mxml still works and the AS3 stuff still doesn't work.

No services-config.xml file

What is the process that installs this file on my server? I
dont have this file in my web directory

are you running flex data services, or just using the Flex
SDK? If you are just using the SDK (or Flex Builder) than you don't
need to have the file on your server. It just needs to be available
during compile-time.
If you are using ColdFusion keep reading...
I included a ColdFusion services-config.xml file below. You
would just need to replace [INSERT YOUR URL] with your actual CF
server URL. You could copy this file locally to your MXML
components and include the path in the compiler options using the
-services "c:\fullpath\to\services-config.xml"
compiler switch.

FB3B2 services-config.xml stopped working

My App worked fine in FlexBuilder3 (Beta 1 I suppose –
yes, I'm sure it wasn't FlexBuilder2).
I upgraded to FB3B2 and I now get the compiler error:
Invalid endpoint port '' specified for channel definition
'my-amfphp'
I've attached my services-config.xml
if I take out -services "services-config.xml" from my
compiler options in flexbuilder my app compiles fine and runs
(though of course it can't retrieve data from the server).
What can I do to resolve this problem? I'm using Cairngorm
2.2.1 Beta and CairngormEnterprise 2.2.1 Beta (though I'm not sure
I really need that)

Ok, this is not good at all...adding the port as I described
works great if you have the new Flash Player, but breaks the flash
remoting connection on Firefox if you have Flash Player 9.0.47.0!!!
This is not good since this is the shipping flash player and the
one that most of our customers are currently using!!!
To fix this problem for our customers I had to go back to
Flex Builder 3 Beta 1 so that I could build my product without the
port!
Is this just a "strict" compiler issue? If so, can you please
make this error go away? My app has been working without strictly
naming the port in the URL for a long time!
Thanks

Services-config.xml for AIR application

Hello,
I am relatively new to flex. I am primarily a .net developer. I want to know how can I make a sample applicaion which uses services-config.xml
Is there a tutorial which can help me...
Any help is appriciated on this.
Regards,
Pavas

The information in the compiled swf needs to match the information used at
server runtime. It basically uses the endpoint URL and perhaps a few other
tidbits from the config.
We have tokens in the URL for server, port and context root, which help the
'portability' of the swf, but if you change the MessageBroker servlet
mapping for instance, this will probably break the swf.
You *can* however, control the endpoint used by the client by using
Actionscript APIs (see the docs), but you still of course have to code that
in to the compiled application unless you prompt the user for that info.
Does that help?

Tomcat: prefix in services-config.xml must be unique?

Hi all, I've been trying to get my flex application communicating with Tomcat and now have it working
Just trying to confirm something that took me many hours to get right and may help others along the way..
Originally I modified the BlazeDS webapp by updating the remoting xml and putting in my own classes and it worked without any problems
I then removed the BlazeDS webapp directory out the tree and created a new one carefully checking each step.. but there was nothing written to catalina log file at any time when running the app or any sign of communication even in debug mode
I then moved the sample BlazeDS webapp back and when starting Tomcat it complained of duplicate ID's (here is the message: Exception: flex.messaging.config.ConfigurationException: Can not add destination with id 'insert your remoting destination id' to service with id 'proxy-service' because another service with id 'remoting-service' already has a destination with the same id)
Eventually I noticed in services-config.xml logging section for my new webapp that the <prefix> was still set to BlazeDS - changed this to the new webapp directory name and not only did the exceptions disappear but everything now worked
So I'm thinking that the prefix is much more important than just a logging descriptor as the XML tag suggests
Can anyone confirm this behaviour or shed some light?
PS I should make clear the above problems were not when running the turnkey but on a fresh install of tomcat 6.0.29 on Centos linux using apache proxypass/reverseproxypass to redirect port 80 to 8080
PS2 - I realise this is not a pure Flex question but it's related due to Adobe crafting a turnkey Flex/Tomcat install with Blaze and it's in the flex configuration files)
I hope I've covered all bases in the question and look forward to knowing more... CHEERS!

Resolved! The problem was in the php code the wizard had generated as an example and that I had edited in Dreamweaver. I had tried to start a session and set session objects in the php code. I developed if() { statements} to check the session variable before executing the function in some of my data services. Apparently the wizard does not like this. I removed all references to session. I reconfigured the input types and the return types for each service. With the code now clean the wizard created the example code and placed the proper package in the scr.services package. I still have custom php code and it executes.
Things I learned:
If the php code stops when a session variable is not available in the if statement and the data service is refreshed, the wizard will not "look" beyond the if statement.
Functions downstream of a session variable misshap will show in the data services window but the functions will have a circle icon to the left of the function name and each variable to be passed to the php code will be declared as type = Object in Flashbuilder. The input types and return types will have to be reconfigured for each non-functioning function. Simply commenting out a portion of the php code and attempting a refresh will not make it work again.
When the wizard is unable to refresh properly because of a stop in the php code it stops working completely so additional refreshes or creation of code is not carried out.
I decided to create a My SQL table for user and other identifiers rather than attempting the session object again.
Sorry, I did not make screen shots as I solved this problem. I hope the solution is not hard to visualize.
Thanks for looking and considering how to help me. I hope my solution works for you.
