Peter - thanks for the questions -
Yes I have a crossdomain.xml in the webroot. Here's what is in it:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy
SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd";>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
I'm a bit perplexed by the context-root requirements. Can you explain
to me what context-root is all about? I read the technote about it,
but I'm not getting that error - so I didn't think it applied to any
misconfiguration I might have.
One thing I can tell you that has me confused me a bit, it when using
the Multiserver option in Coldfusion, my webroot contains a CFIDE
directory and is completely separate from everything in the JRUN4
folder. Yet the valid root folder when configuring the Flex Project
leads me to: "J:\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war" So when you
speak of "context-root" are we talking about what's in the cfusion-war
folder or in my webroot?
My HelloFromColdfusion.html file is in my webroot along with the .swf
and everything else FlexBuilder2 put into the bin directory. The
Output folder for the Flex Project was pointed at my
wwwroot/flex2btb/flex directory. Maybe you can tell me if I need the
context root setting or not?
Thanks,
Jim
