[flexcoders] Re: RemoteObject (Beta2) - cannot find CFC
Hey Dirk, Thanks for the reply. I think I've gotten past this point, I can get the swf to compile and load in the browser. My problem is that it can't connect to the CFC. It tells me 'Unknown destination', that it cannot find the cfc. I don't know if I have to predefine it in the flex-enterprise- services.xml file, and the reference some sort of ID, or if it's completely created and connected to in the mxml file.

You probably need to uncomment the specific information in your flex-enterprise-services.xml file. But just so you dont have to wonder what that is, I am including the contents of mine below. Just make sure that the endpoint for the my-cfamf channel uses the correct port.

[flexcoders] Re: RemoteObject (Beta2) - cannot find CFC
My experience was frustrating in the beginning as well. I used the wizards straight from a database table and I had 2 days of nightmares trying to make it all work. It turned out that everything works perfectly. Though the automatically generated CFCs (some of them - especially in the DAO one) had no access defined as remote. So because i didn't want to touch the automatically generated CFCs, I looked for another option which was setting this line in the XML file: method-access-levelremote/method-access-level to this: method-access-levelpublic/method-access-level and it all worked like a charm. (I may be off topic, but hope it helps somehow).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: RemoteObject (Beta2) - cannot find CFC
If you're connection from a different machine than the one CF is installed on,
use {content.root} in the endpoint uri attribute.
Mine looks like this:
endpoint uri={context.root}/flex2gateway/
class=flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint/
If you look at the top of the flex-enterprise-services.xml, you'll notice that
there's already a destination defined, called
'ColdFusion'
When using that destination as the destination of a RemoteObject, you can
access any cfc on your server (without having to modify
the flex-enterprise-services.xml).
You then specify the path to the cfc in the source property of the RemoteObject.
RemoteObject destination=ColdFusion source=path.to.cfc.on.server
mx:method name=someMethod result=someMethodResult(event)
fault=someMethodFault(event)
/RemoteObject
Now, this way of accessing cfc's has been added for backwards compatibility
(see docs) and is not recommended.
You should add destination tags to the flex-enterprise-services.xml as needed.
Here's an example from the docs:
destination id=SampleEmployeeRO
properties
sourcesamples.explorer.EmployeeManager/source
statefultrue/stateful
/properties
adapter ref=java-object/
/destination
The destination id is what you'll use as the destination of the RemoteObject.
And you don't specify a 'source' in the RemoteObject,
since it's defined in the xml file.
RemoteObject destination=SampleEmployeeRO
mx:method name=someMethod result=someMethodResult(event)
fault=someMethodFault(event)
/RemoteObject
hope this helps,
Muzak
