context.root

[TucsonJava]

I have an AMF channel configured in a standard way...

<endpoint uri="
http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf"
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>



In the flex-config.xml file I have the conext root defined
as...

<context-root>/metalsmith</context-root>



When starting the server (Tomcat) at least the placeholder
for the context.root seems to be there...

[Flex] [INFO] Starting Adobe Flex Data Services 2.0 Express
(beta period ends Jul 31, 2006)

[Flex] [INFO] Adobe Flex Data Services Build: 138139

[Flex] [INFO] Endpoint my-amf created with security: None

at URI:
http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf

[Flex] [INFO] Endpoint ms-rtmp created with security: None



However, when attempting to connect to the service it is
apparent that the context.root info has been lost...

'my-amf' channel endpoint set to
http://localhost:8080//messagebroker/amf

'my-amf' channel settings are:

<channel id="my-amf"
type="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">

<endpoint uri="
http://{server.name}:{server.port}//messagebroker/amf"/>

<properties>

<polling-enabled>false</polling-enabled>

</properties>

</channel>

'my-amf' pinging endpoint.

'my-amf' channel got status. (Object)#0

code = "NetConnection.Call.Failed"

description = "HTTP: Failed"

details = "
http://localhost:8080//messagebroker/amf"

level = "error"



Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

OK, I fixed that by adding the -context-root /metalsmith to
the compiler arguments in the Flex Compiler properties within
flexBuilder. It still seems like it should have picked it up from
the flex-config file though.

But the compiler will add the context root information into the swf file, if your project changed context root, it will failed, have to compile again. For one project it is ok. What if you have multiple project, and you want to build the flex application as a component, compile for every project????

And idea?
