RE: [flexcoders] Minimal Tomcat Deployment
Hi Dan, You don't have to do that much work to get Flex running under Tomcat. Here is the simplest way: - install Tomcat under c:\tomcat (just an example, put it anywhere you want) - create a folder called "samples" under c:\tomcat\webapps - extract the contents of the samples.war to the c:\tomcat\webapps\samples folder - start up tomcat - navigate to http://loclahost:8080/samples and voila! Repeat the same instructions for the flex.war and then create your first ever helloworld.mxml file and put it under c:\tomcat\webapps\flex and start-up tomcat. Then navigate to http://loclahost:8080/flex/helloworld.mxml to look at your creation. That's it, you don't need to put any jar files in any special places. Hope that helps!

[flexcoders] Minimal Tomcat Deployment
Hello folks, I'm sorry if this topic has already been covered but when searching the list I was unable to find what I am looking for. I'd like to put together a *minimal* set of tasks for deploying a Flex app in Tomcat. Specifically I'm looking for what jars need to be where and what deployment descriptors need to be changed. Now I've looked at the samples that come with Flex and here is what I have so far: I'm aware that you can put flex-tomcat-common.jar in $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib and put flex-tomcat-server.jar in $TOMCAT_HOME/server/lib. From the samples webapp I see a bunch of other jars in WEB-INF/flex/jars but the ones that seem to stand out are flex-tags.jar and flex.jar. There are a bunch of entries in the web.xml for the samples application. Not sure which are necessary for a basic application. I know that I can just get going by deploying the flex.war webapp in Tomcat but I'm looking for a minimal project that contains all the necessary flex libraries. I'm also looking for the minimal configuration file changes to get "hello world" working and to have Tomcat properly handle mxml files. I've found lots of good examples just to get me going with Flex but I haven't yet found a minimalist approach. Thanks in advance, -- Dan Glauser J2EE Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
