Ok, Andy has this working, which is great, and works for what we need on 
this implementation. I guess the big question now is whether it's using 
BlazeDS, or if it's using 'Flex Messaging'? Maybe that Gateway type was 
automatically updated when we did the CF/BlazeDS integration steps.

That being said, I'm still a bit surprised. I haven't done very much 
Flex dev yet, because the documentation for making it work in a CF JRun 
mult-server environment is somewhat limited (or confusing), and 
scattered. It looks like I can access cfc's serverside through the 
ColdFusion Gateway, as long as I'm using the RemoteObject with the 
source attribute to identify that CFC. That's fine, but if you're trying 
to access BlazeDS using the Flex/Ajax bridge you (seemingly) don't have 
the ability to define that source. This means that any cfc you access 
would have to be accessible as an event gateway, and that would seem a 
bit restrictive (plus I worry about the server overhead on an already 
taxed server).

With regards to Flex, I've been told that I can define destinations, 
their endpoints, and whatnot, directly from within a Flex application. 
This is preferrable from a portability standpoint, as not all developers 
would have direct access to their JRun configs (or even the CF Admin), 
but I really haven't seen many concrete examples of it.

I really need to dive in more, rather than just dippin' my toes in. If 
anyone knows the answers to some of those BlazeDS questions though, 
please feel free to share...
