LifeCycle DS ES communication with Tomcat WebServer

Question

Hi,
    I have written a simple program to accept Name using Flex SDK 3.2 HttpService in Flex builder 3. Using LifeCycle DS ES to communicate with struts 1.2 on Web Server(Tomcat 5.0). My flex code runs and Struts code runs independently. The problem is when trying to send data from client to Server, it does not work. Below given are my client ans Server side code. Copy of services-config.xml & proxy-config.xml is same on both client side and server side. Please help me to run this code.
Client Side
========
hello.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
  public function hello1():void{
   HelloCall.send();
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id= "HelloCall" destination= "myHello">
    <mx:request xmlns= " ">
            <name>  {nameInput.text}</name>
    </mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>
<mx:Label x= "312" y= "47" text= "Enter Name" fontSize= "20" />
<mx:TextInput id= "nameInput" x="260" y= "104" fontSize= "20" />
<mx:Button x= "301" y= "186" label= "Submit" fontSize= "20" click= "hello1();" />
<mx:Label x= "312" y= "285" text= "{HelloCall.lastResult.jlc.message}" fontSize= "20" />

Hi Rohit,
I am running both LiveCycle DS ES 3.0 and WebServer Tomcat on the same machine. I made changes in services-congig.xml and now the channels are configured as follows on both client end and server end :-
services-config.xml
   <!-- Servlet Based endpoints -->
        <channel-definition id="my-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
            <endpoint url="http://localhost:8000/JLCAPP/messagebroker/amf" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
            <properties>
                <polling-enabled>false</polling-enabled>
            </properties>
        </channel-definition>
        <channel-definition id="my-polling-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
            <endpoint url="http://localhost:8000/JLCAPP/messagebroker/amfpolling" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
            <properties>
                <polling-enabled>true</polling-enabled>
                <polling-interval-seconds>8</polling-interval-seconds>
            </properties>
        </channel-definition>
        <channel-definition id="my-http" class="mx.messaging.channels.HTTPChannel">
            <endpoint url="http://localhost:8000/JLCAPP/messagebroker/http" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.HTTPEndpoint"/>
        </channel-definition>
However i am still getting following debug message :-
[RPC Fault faultString="Send failed" faultCode="Client.Error.MessageSend" faultDetail="Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 404: url:

My current hello.jsp code is given below :-
hello.jsp
<%@ taglib uri= "/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<html>
<body>
<br> <html:form action="/hello.do">
<h1> Name :  </h1><br/>
<html:text property ="name" /><br/>
<html:submit value= "Show" /> <br/>
</html:form>
</body>
</html>
Is hello.jsp required at server end, as URL specified in proxy-config.xml should directly invoke Action class in my Tomcat WebServer?
My WebServer Tomcat Server log shows following :-

See if this picks the point of failure!!
