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)
- createa 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@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] Minimal Tomcat
Deployment
Hello folks,I'm sorry if this topic has already been
covered but when searchingthe 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
Flexapp in Tomcat. Specifically I'm looking for what jars need to
bewhere and what deployment descriptors need to be changed. Now
I'velooked at the samples that come with Flex and here is what I have
sofar: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
ofother jars in WEB-INF/flex/jars but the ones that seem to stand outare
flex-tags.jar and flex.jar.There are a bunch of entries in the web.xml
for the samplesapplication. Not sure which are necessary for a basic
application.I know that I can just get going by deploying the flex.war
webapp inTomcat but I'm looking for a minimal project that contains all
thenecessary flex libraries. I'm also looking for the
minimalconfiguration file changes to get "hello world" working and to
haveTomcat properly handle mxml files.I've found lots of good
examples just to get me going with Flex but Ihaven't yet found a minimalist
approach.Thanks in advance,--Dan GlauserJ2EE
