You should only need to add "faq" to the whitelist in order to use the session servlet. The servlet context name needs to be added to the RemoteObject's whitelist in order for the session servlet to be used. This is a bit strange, I'll admit, and we do have a bug open to try to make this easier. In any case you will always need to add something to the whitelist to use new data service items. This is a piece of Flex security to make sure that these parts of the system aren't left open.
You can also just use "*" as you are, but make sure to not use "*" in the source when moving to production. -Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan Baney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 2:25 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [flexcoders] session servlet problem > > > I made the recommended changes...and it didn't fix anything. > I got the > same error.
