I have resolved this issue. I got Flex 2 working with a remote CF
server.
I learned two things:
1) services-config.xml must be configured with the domain name that you
are using, without {context-root} in the path. Here is an example:
The default is this:
<endpoint
uri="http://{server.name}:{server.port}{context.root}/flex2gateway/";
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> - this works when CF
Server is local.
<endpoint uri="http://www.[yourdomainhere].com/flex2gateway/";
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> - this works with a
remote CF Server.
<endpoint
uri="http://www.[yourdomainhere].com{context.root}/flex2gateway/";
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> - this doesn't work with
IIS and a remote CF server.
2) When you Run your app again, and it loads into a new tab in Firefox,
it's bizarre, but it was still loading a cached version of the app. I
had to push the refresh button to get the updated file to run. I started
playing with the text I used on the button in my HelloWorld app. My
changes did not show until I refreshed it. Close the tab, Run the app
again in FB2, tab in Firefox opens automatically - it's the cached
version again, refresh it - ah there's the changes. I had so many tabs
open in my browser, the window never got closed once. Some of my config
changes never had a chance to work, because I didn't refresh after a new
tab would open. It's frustrating, but now that I know, I can deal with
it.
Thanks to everyone for offering suggestions. I appreciate the responses.
Happy coding,
Jim
