Re: [flexcoders] Configuring RemoteObject destinations (Flex 2)
For our production environment, our SWFs are served from the same machine that our ColdFusion server resides on, so using {server.name} or {context.root} works fine when configuring destinations. During development, I compile and test SWFs locally. I don't run ColdFusion locally--we have a separate development server. So in this case, using {
server.name} or {context.root} doesn't work. I have to change the flex-services.xml file and put in the development server's IP address. It's just awkward to have to manually do this.
What I miss is the convenience of build profiles as seen in some other IDEs. I can have one for development and one for production, each having different compiler options (eg. so I can specify different flex-services.xml
files). At least that's one way to do it. Can I do something like this with the current Flex Builder? I haven't found a way.On 3/15/06, Peter Farland

Configuring RemoteObject destinations (Flex 2)
This came up cause I was configuring my Flex 2 app to communicate
with ColdFusion, but I suppose it applies to RemoteObject in general. In
order to tell your app the location of a web service destination, we're told to
add something like this to the compiler command line: --services=C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex\flex-enterprise-services.xml Now,
my first question is, since the file flex-enterprise-services.xml resides on the
server (be it ColdFusion or FES) and you typically don't do your client
development on the same machine as the production server, how would this work in
the general case? Anyway, so then I decided to copy the file to my
development machine and then manually changed localhost to the server's IP
address in the channel configuration. I compiled my app and it worked
fine. But now it appears that the server's address is compiled directly
into the swf. Are we unable to dynamically assign server addresses at
runtime?

RE: [flexcoders] Configuring RemoteObject destinations (Flex 2)
No, FB doesnt have build profiles
in this release, sorry. I think we were expecting folks with this kind of
situation to have bigger build systems that would run the compiler via Ant
scripts or something similar.

RE: [flexcoders] Configuring RemoteObject destinations (Flex 2)
If you use {server.name} in place of the IP address or host
server name then it will be replaced at runtime with that used to load the SWF.
Note that if you load a SWF from the file system using the standalone player
then it will be interpreted as localhost. As for the port token, {server.port},
in the case of a file system loaded swf, it defaults to port
80.
