Hi Dirk, I did not dive into the inner workings of the gateway, but there is one new feature that will definitely interest you: the lower keys tag in the gateway-config.xml file. Until CFMX7, ColdFusion had a bad reputation of "messing" with the case of your keys. If you build CFMX-Flex applications and you don't want CFMX7 to change the case of your keys the value of this tag has to be "true". Now you can use standard naming conventions without having to implement infamous workarounds.
Two other things you should be aware of when working with CFMX7 in combination with Flex: 1. If you create CFMX7 dynamically generated FlashPaper reports and display them within a Flex panel, these FlashPaper reports won't print. This is a serious bug MM is aware of and - I hope - they will definitely fix in the next FlashPaper release. 2. If you want to use CFLOGIN for authentication then there is another surprise: the Flex 1.5 setUsernamePassword API, currently isn't connected to CFLOGIN. I hope they will fix this in Flex 2.0 I personally believe this is a great release with some great new features. My favorites: application events, dynamic reporting and the event gateways. I hope we are going to see some innovative applications based on the last feature soon.

It seems obvious that the new charting and form features are based on Flex 1.5 - thus, CFMX 7 comes with some kind of Flex under the hood. Is it a stripped down version that just does the rendering or does it also provide the gateway infrastructure? BTW: Does CFMX 7 provide a new Remoting gateway and if so is it the same as in the standard Flex 1.5 product? The CFMX 7 product page is somewhat vague on the Flash features or its underlying engine, so maybe someone with some Blackstone experience could shed some light on this? Thanks, Dirk. Yahoo!
