Clarification on services-config.xml files for RemoteObject services

I am currently preparing an AMFPHP environment for exchanging
data with Flex and AIR applications. I can connect to the services
via Netconnection, but using RemoteObject won't work.
Documentation for the necessary configuration files
(services-config.xml, remoting-config.xml and the like) is, um,
sparse and seems to be slightly incorrect or misleading at times.
So I'm looking for clarification about
changes in the syntax of services-config.xml · in
examples for Flex 2.01, there are "class" attributes with values
beginning with "flex.", in Flex 3 examples the attribute name has
changed to "type", values beginning with "flex." have mostly
vanished and been replaced with similar looking values beginning
with "mx.". Are "flex." and "mx." prefixes interchangable?
correct syntax for linking other files into
services-config.xml · the livedocs state that Adobe
prefers linking files into services-config.xml (using something
like <service-include file-path="remoting-config.xml"/>)
instead of defining all service parameters there. But in the
example from the Flex 2.01 livedocs, the root element of the
service-config.xml file is <services> instead of
<services-config>. Assuming that <services> is meant as
a
child of the <services-config> root element, there
seems to be a mandatory <service> child element missing.
That's either intended, illogical, and misleading, or simply
erroneous.
which classes are still valid in Flex 3, which have changed?
· Most of the examples for using RemoteObjects out there are
for FlexBuilder 2 (e.g.
here)
and don't seem to work with FlexBuilder 3 Beta 2. But there is no
statement to be found in the Flex 3 documentation about what has
changed.
a meaningful example for services-config.xml · In the
Flex 3 Beta 2 documentation here are plenty of references to using
services-config.xml, as I can find even information about the
ServerConfig class in the ActionScript 3 Language Reference, a sort
of wrapper class for the information provided in
service-config.xml, but there is no information about what
constitutes a
working service-config.xml configuration (which XML tags of
what names containing what attributes need to be present).
As I'd really like to create cutting-edge Flex and AIR OCC
applications, I'm eager to have those ambiguities clarified.
Best regards,
Cathness

From the docs it looks like this is used for web services as
well:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/dataservices_config_100_3.html#260186
If this isn't the right config file, which file should I be
looking at?

Services-config best practices for ADEP

I need to establish a services-config.xml to connect to LCDS from my ADEP project. Are there any best practices I should be aware of with respect to ADEP / LCDS interaction in this regard?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Mike. You can use the CRXDE Lite editor to modify the services-config.xml file for a Data Services application deployed to the Experience Server.
When you are in CRXDE Lite, navigate to:
/etc/aep/config/dataservices/services-config.xml
Open the services-config.xml, make your changes, and click the Save All button.
After that, when you create a new "Flex for ADEP Experience Services" project in Flash Builder, the channelset-config information will be copied from the services-config.xml file into a channelset-config.xml file that gets added to the dataservices directory of your Flex project and is also added to the mxmlc compiler options for your project.

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!

Thanks Carlo for your reply.
I have read again the link and you are correct that in using the preferred command together with localhost under POTS dial-peer, I can now select which correct path to choose for my outbound calls. I'm just not very strong with dial-peer and translation rules at the moment.
I will try this solution during the weekend and let you know. But it would have been better if there was a sample configuration for this option.

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?

Do I need the 'java-polling-amf in my services-config.xml if I'm using coldfusion

Do I need the 'java-polling-amf in my services-config.xml if I'm using coldfusion?
Im using IntelliJ IDEA with a flex project and for some reason its stopping comilation with this error:
[SUITE (Flex Application 1)] flex.messaging.config.ConfigurationException: The services configuration includes a channel-definition 'java-polling-amf' that has an endpoint with a context.root token but a context root has not been defined. Please specify a context-root compiler argument.
when I was using flex builder with CF builder I never needed to specify the context.root

I don't use IDEA, so I don't know what kind of configuration settings it has for Flex project development.
You don't need the java-polling-amf channel for CF development. By default, CF development uses CF-specific channels:
my-cfamf
cf-polling-amf
my-cfamf-secure
any custom channels you've created yourself for CF to use
That said, all the channels require a context root setting for your project to compile properly. If you still have Flash Builder handy, take a look at your compiler switches for a project there to see what you're missing in IDEA.

How to set services-config.xml?

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

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.

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!

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.
