Developing Custom Adapter - Keep getting error: Unrecognized tag found in properties

Question

Hey All,<br /><br />I'm trying to configure some custom properties to pass through to my custom BlazeDS adapter, inside my remoting-config.xml.<br /><br />If you look here:<br />http://xml.pastebin.com/f17464dac<br /><br />This has been working perfectly for the destination id'd 'Conduit'. no problems there at all.<br /><br />For the destination id'd 'ConduitReverse', no matter what extra <tag> I put after <access>, I get the following exception:<br /><br />**** MessageBrokerServlet failed to initialize due to runtime exception:   Exception: flex.messaging.config.ConfigurationException: Unrecognized tag found in <properties>.  Please consult the documentation to determine if the tag is invalid or belongs inside of a different tag: <br />  '/foo' in destination with id: 'ConduitReverse' from file: remoting-config.xml<br />     at flex.messaging.config.MessagingConfiguration.reportUnusedProperties(MessagingConfiguratio n.java:750)<br />     at flex.messaging.MessageBrokerServlet.init(MessageBrokerServlet.java:158)<br />     at coldfusion.flex.ColdFusionMessageBrokerServlet.init(ColdFusionMessageBrokerServlet.java:2 4)<br />     at coldfusion.bootstrap.ClassloaderHelper.initServletClass(ClassloaderHelper.java:94)<br />     at coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet.init(BootstrapServlet.java:59)<br /><br />I've tried 'foo', 'fooBar', 'thisIsMyCustomProperty', and so far, I always get that error.<br /><br />I had thought I could put arbitrary values inside <properties>, without having to worry about validation, is that not the case?<br /><br />I'm running a daily build of BlazeDS 4.x, from about a month ago. I may try upgrading.<br /><br />Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

The source of the problem is here: flex.messaging.config.MessagingConfiguration.reportUnusedProperties(MessagingConfiguratio n.java:750)
Your code is fine, it is BlazeDS bugs, that they don't want to fix, have a look at this bug: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/BLZ-143
I still can't understand a rationale behind this, but this is the way it is.
To get pass this error you HAVE to call
properties.getPropertyAsString("fooBar", null);
in
public void initialize(String id, ConfigMap properties)
method.
Have a look at my adapter for example:
