right i remember doing the whole "merger" this was context of email Quick response.
1. Install BS using the 'Multiserver' installation option as detailed in the BS beta2 release notes. This will give you a working version of BS installed as an application on Jrun. Any CF applications you have should run in this instance without problem. 2. Follow the instructions in 'Installing Flex on ColdFusion MX Overview' document (attached). There are a few errors as this document was designed for CF6.1. Follow the instructions for steps 1-6. When you get to step 7 (merge web.xml files) there is no need to do item 2 and some of the elements listed in step 3 are incorrect, but if you follow the basic principle that the section in the flex file should be appended to the corresponding section in the BS file, all will be OK. Complete the rest. This will give you a working copy of flex and BS working within the same jrun instance. NOW, I have experienced some problems with flex within CF pages (e.g. it seems that the CF compiler doesn't like the flex tree control if it appears in a CF file). I have reported this as a problem on the lists. Also, flex within CF seems to compile a lot slower than flex within jsp. But flex on its own (i.e. mxml not using the cf compiler) works fine. 3. Calling cfcs using remote object requires you to use the remoting gateway. The following articles should help: http://www.macromedia.com/support/flex/ts/documents/flex_accessing_cfc.htm http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/complex_data.html 4. Don?t forget to open up the whitelists in your flex-config file to allow access to your components. For testing I have set mine to allow http://* and https://*. I have to be honest, my experience so far with Blackstone and Flex 1.5 as an integrated install has not been good. I think this is because the 'Flex-lite' implementation in Blackstone (flash forms, etc) is interfering with Flex proper - just a guess, I haven't looked too closely and I may be criticizing unfairly. However, Flex and Blackstone on separate Jrun instances work and talk together without a hitch. ---------------------------------------- From: Sean Corfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2005 7:50 PM To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Flex On Sat, 12 Feb 2005 17:17:33 -0500, dave wrote: > Well there is some decent instructions on MM but i seem to recall a few > issues with cfm 7 because of the included flex engine in cfm7 If you install Flex and CFMX in separate instances or in separate context roots within a single instance, there are no issues. If you want to install Flex and CFMX in the same context root, then you need to merge the web.xml files. I don't believe the process has changed much between 6.1 and 7.0. I find it's easier to have separate instances for each but I also have them in a single instance (and separate context roots). -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 49, yes 49, invites to give away!
