The FlexMxmlServlet gets invoked for every requested .mxml file. The mapping is defined in the Flex web.xml file, approx. at line 166
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>FlexMxmlServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.mxml</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> The very first time a .mxml file is requested the file and all depending files will get compiled into a single SWF file (if the server is set to production-mode = true which is the default). First, the .mxml files get translated into .as files, then all .as files get compiled into a SWF file. This SWF file will get cached by the Flex server. Once the file is cached it will be served from cache the next time it is requested. Only if you change the source code, or if the cache expires, the SWF will get created again. If you look at the HTML code that gets returned when calling a .mxml file on your server, you'll see that the default wrapper references a SWF file called blah.mxml.swf (where "blah" is the name of the requested file). This SWF file is the compilation of all .mxml and .as files needed.

Does the below mentioned generation and compilation happen before this servlet is called? Can someone please explain the basics behind this? When i try to forward the response from my servlet to FlexMxmlServlet i get the message resource not available even though i have created a mapping to the FlexMxmlServlet like '/FlexMxmlServlet' in web.xml. Can someone explain this. Regards Priya ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Fair play? Video games influencing politics.
