Hi all,
I'm trying to create a Flex Data services application and deploy to
Tomcat 6 using ant. I created a simple Stock Portfolio application
from this book: http://www.theriabook.com/ . The Stock Portfolio has
a remote procedure call using a Java backend and Flex/mxml front end.
In my build file, I compile the Java classes, then copy the Flex DS
libs and .mxml files to the appropriate directories in the webapp. I
then jar this all up and use a catalina task to deploy to Tomcat using
ant (this is similar to how we deploy our other applications). I then
go to http://localhost:8080/stockportfolio, which goes to
http://localhost:8080/StockPortfolio.mxml. And it works (my
application shows up, and the remote calls work great). However, if I
make a small change to my code and deploy again using the same ant
build file, then go back to http://localhost:8080/stockportfolio, it
indicates the application can not be found. Checking out the Tomcat
webapps directory, stockportfolio is there, but the only directory
left inside the folder is WEB-INF/lib, with all of the jar files.
I've encountered this problem before (a jar locking problem in
Tomcat), so added antiResourceLocking=true and antiJARLocking=true
to my context.xml file, stopped Tomcat, deployed again, and that fixed
the problem (so I'm able deploy without the jar files locking up), but
a new one has popped up. I can only deploy this way 3-4 times before
Tomcat displays an out of memory error. Watching my task manager
while deploying and then going to the application, I think this
happens as the .swf is created. Each time I redeploy and then visit
the application, the memory usage continues to rise. I've increased
the memory allocated to Tomcat, but it doesn't help if the memory
usage continues to rise as I deploy several times (which I tend to do
during development of the application).
I'm trying to find a better way to deploy the application, and if this
is indeed caused by compiling the mxml to swf, I'd like to compile the
swf during deployment using ant. So I looked on the web and fount
flex ant tasks (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Ant_Tasks ).
However, I have yet to find a good ant build file I can use as a
template for a Flex Data Services application, and was hoping someone
could point me in the right direction (or perhaps provide a solution
to the problem I have above). Any attempts so far at compiling using
mxmlc and the ant tasks have corrupted my application source and so
the application doesn't run (solve one error, another pops up, very
frustrating process). Any help/advice is appreciated, thanks!
