Super-r0x0r... Flex works (just tested some samples, but JSP's still fubarred), but accessing it from another box doesn't. Tried forwarding port 8080, no dice.
:: tries again :: Damn, times out, no dice... :: tries some more :: BWAHAHA! This works... except, it returns the text, not the SWF: file://///Pandemonium/flex/diceroller/DiceRoller.mxml ...darn it, shoot, lasjdfkjasdf... I guess I can just toggle to my other machine to compile and view, but... lame. She's slow as heck, too, compared to compiling on my Alienware. I'll just repeat the whole process tomorrow morning on here, I reckon. Cool, now it's in the archives!

If you wish to go straight to the apps (i.e. samples.war would have been exploded into a samples directory) then go to http://192.168.1.100:8080/samples/ That should work fine ;) andrew --- In [email protected], "JesterXL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I had a bunch of Java, Ant, Cygwin, and other assorted server-side products > that I have no clue what they do still installed on my server box; admin at > work had me install them to work from home.
