Not sure what other details you need, I thought I covered pretty much
everything. Anything else that's missing is basically the information I'm
looking for :-)
My Flex client is served up from SRV1 (the FDS server). It contains the
following...
-------
<mx:DataService id="TransferCenterDS" destination="cftransfer" />
-------
That destination is defined in the FDS services-config.xml...
-------
<services> <service id="data-service" class="flex.data.DataService"
messageTypes="flex.data.messages.DataMessage"> <adapters>
<adapter-definition id="coldfusion-dao"
class="coldfusion.flex.CFDataServicesAdapter"/> </adapters> <destination
id="cftransfer"> <adapter ref="coldfusion-dao"/> <channels>
<channel ref="cf-dataservice-rtmp"/> <channel ref="cf-polling-amf"/>
</channels> <properties>
<component>applications.flex.transfer-center.cf.TransferAssembler</component>
<scope>request</scope> <metadata> <identity
property="TransferId"/> </metadata> </properties> </destination>
</service></services>
-------
These two CF specific channels are also defined in the FDS services-config.xml
like this (but here's where I'm having endpoint woes)...
-------
<channel-definition id="cf-dataservice-rtmp"
class="mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel"> <endpoint
uri="rtmp://srv2.mydomain.com:2048"
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint"/> <properties>
<idle-timeout-minutes>20</idle-timeout-minutes> <serialization>
<instantiate-types>false</instantiate-types> </serialization>
</properties> </channel-definition> <channel-definition id="cf-polling-amf"
class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel"> <endpoint
uri="http://srv2.mydomain.com:{server.port}/messagebroker/cfamfpolling";
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> <properties>
<serialization> <instantiate-types>false</instantiate-types>
</serialization> <polling-enabled>true</polling-enabled>
<polling-interval-seconds>8</polling-interval-seconds> </properties>
</channel-definition>-------
My Flex client also contains an ArrayCollection...
-------
<mx:ArrayCollection id="TransferCenterAC" />
-------
There is also a datagrid that has a dataprovider bound to this ArrayCollection.
-------
<mx:DataGrid id="junkDG" width="98%" height="50%"
dataProvider="{TransferCenterAC}"> <mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="ID" dataField="TransferId"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Transfer Agency"
dataField="TransferInfo_AgencyCB"/>
..... </mx:columns></mx:DataGrid>-------
I also have a test button...
-------
<mx:Button label="Fill"
click="TransferCenterDS.fill(TransferCenterAC);"/>-------
I don't know what other information I could give you. There's not much to it.
Problem is that no matter what I use for endpoints I always seem to get one
type of communication error message or another. There's too many combinations
of endpoints and errors to list here. All I'm really looking for is an article
or blog that talks about endpoints and channels and possibly describes how they
can be configured in a distributed architecture such as mine. It's surprising
it's not already out there as Flex, FDS, and CF are all supposed to work
together so nicely. You'd think there'd be more information on how to set the
three up in a distributed way. You can find tons of tutorials on FDS using
java assembler, dao, and object classes, but almost nothing on using CFCs on a
CF server running on a separate physical server.
Thanks

Yes, I have a "*" crossdomain policy in place (on both servers, just in case.)

I'm building an FDS app but instead of defining an assembler.class, dao.class,
and customobject.class on the FDS server in Java I'm defining them on a
ColdFusion server using CFCs. I'm following Tom Jordahl's article located
here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/coldfusionflex_part1_02.html
But, while Tom is running both FDS and CF on a single physical server, I have
two separate physical servers... http://srv1.mydomain.com (FDS with integrated
JRun)http://srv2.mydomain.com (ColdFusion Ent 7.0.2) My Flex client is being
served out to the browser from SRV1 (the FDS server) and I have
ObjAssembler.cfc, ObjDAO.cfc, and Obj.cfc on SRV2 (the ColdFusion server) In my
Flex client I define a DataService to manage my Obj's in a simple grid just to
test that it's all wired correctly, but it's not working. I believe my problem
is that I have my endpoints defined incorrectly in the services-config.xml that
resides on SRV1 (the FDS server) In Tom's article he says to just use...
<endpoint uri="rtmp://{ server.name}:2048"
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint"/><endpoint
uri="http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/cfamfpolling";
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint "/> But since my CF server is
physically separate I changed these endpoints to<endpoint
uri="rtmp://srv2.mydomain.com:2048"
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint"/> <endpoint
uri="http://srv2.mydomain.com:{server.port}/messagebroker/cfamfpolling"; class="
flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/> But it does not work. No errors, it
just doesn't ds.fill() or anything. Are these endpoints supposed to point to
the CF server (SRV2)... or one to the CF server and one to the FDS server... or
to the FDS server (SRV1)? How do I know what port to specify for the
AMFEndpoint? How does the whole "messagebroker/cfamfpolling" path work when
there's nothing under there? I'm pretty lost when it comes to configuring
endpoints in general. Thanks!Darren-- ----------------------------Igor
