from: http://forta.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=ccatid=11 Using Flash Remoting With CFMX7? Watch Out For This One I mentioned this in a comment on a prior post , but it is important enough to warrant its own mention. If you are using Flash Remoting to access ColdFusion code, you may run into an issue in which ColdFusion could construct an invalid URL when appending a jsessionid. If this occurs the web server via which you are accessing your code could throw errors. The solution is simply, just add a ?

This issue was discovered by our tech support folks, and I believe they'll be posting a TechNote on it shortly. CFC Results Via AMF And Case Inconsistencies I just spent a long time troubleshooting a Flex ColdFusion connectivity issue, and now that we've figured out what was going on I am sharing this in case it bites anyone else. There are two basic ways for Flex to invoke back-end ColdFusion CFCs, SOAP (Web Services) or AMF (Flash Remoting). My app had been using SOAP, but I needed to convert to AMF (the performance difference is significant). Last year Brandon Purcell wrote an excellent blog entry entitled Switching between webservices and Flash Remoting using Flex , and so I used his steps to make the switch. As he notes in that entry, ColdFusion variables returned via SOAP have their names converted to uppercase, whereas variables returned via AMF retain their original case, and so any binding code (or Flex code referencing returned data) needs to be converted from all caps to actual case. The converted code worked perfectly for CFC methods returning queries, they ran exactly as they did before, just a whole lot quicker. But my CFC methods returning structures all failed, none of my bindings and client-side code worked. The problem? Waldo Smeets figured this one out, unlike returned queries, returned structure members are all caps, even when using AMF. This is horribly inconsistent, and hopefully it'll be fixed in the future.

Re: [flexcoders] Web Services and CF7
Hi Ted:
I agree with Andrew totally. Using remoteobject to invoke the cfc on
the server is a much more efficient. I've been using remoteobject to
access cfc and it works beautifully.
A question for you: Are you going to be running cf7 and flex on the
same jrun instance?
If you are, keep in mind the following:
1. Remove the flash remoting gateway that is installed by default with
cf7 (through jrun admin).
2. Make sure that in the flex-config.xml, you have the following value
setup for the amf-gateway (under remote-object node).
amf-gateway{context.root}/amfgateway/amf-gateway
3. When calling the remote object (cfc), make sure to add the correct
endpoint (in the example code below). So, for example, if you were
going to call a cfc called foo with the path myfolder/folder/foo.cfc,
you'd use the following call:
mx:RemoteObject id=myService source=myfolder.folder.foo
endpoint=@ContextRoot()/flashservices/gateway
/mx:RemoteObject
Hope this helps.

Re: [flexcoders] Web Services and CF7
Ted, I just found another reason why I'd prefer remoteobject over webservices.
If a cfc extends another component, you cannot access the inherited
functions when using webservices. You will have specifically write
functions in the cfc you are calling to expsore the inherited
functions.
However, when you use remoteobject to access a cfc, you can access
inherited functions without needing to expose them..

RE: [flexcoders] Web Services and CF7
Some more detailed information on this - the issue is that the IIS connector doesn't handle the ;jsessionid token in URLs unless it appears after the query string.The J2EEservlet spec does not specify that this token has to appear after the ?symbol and thus manyother app servers handle it just fine.How this arises in the first place for remoting requests is that the CF bridge to the Flash Remoting gateway asks the servlet response to encode the URL and checks to see if it was decorated with a ;jsessionid token (it would do so if it thought the client couldn't handle cookies). e.g. http://www.yourserver.com/yourapp/flashservices/gateway;jsessionid= If the encoded URL did include a ;jessionid then an AMF response header is sent back to the NetServices client to tell it to append the ;jsessionid token to the gateway URL on the next request. You can see this AppendToGatewayUrl response header in the NCD.

Remoting is great but it has a core limitation of one request at a time due the way AMF was implemented in the player.

Re: [flexcoders] Web Services and CF7
Ted, although you do mention search you don't specifically mention CF query result sets. One thing that I'd like to mention for the benefit of others using Flex and ColdFusion is that while CF can return query result sets via Remoting and Web Services this is not a native object/data type in the Flash player, and consequently Flex. While the Flash player can process this via the Remoting and Web Services APIs it's time consuming as the data is being converted into something native first. You're better off to return arrays of objects (CF structures) instead, I don' t have the figures but I know that there is a dramatic performance difference, particularly for large sets of data.
