Help with Flash Remoting

Scenario
I have a Server 2016 set up wth 2 sites; one with a PHP app serving out flash objects and a second site (using Coldfusion) with a load of code for Flash Remoting called by the Flash objects.
I have installed Lucee on a new server. The flash remoting appears to work on 127.0.0.1:8888 and I need to know how to get IIS to send the flash remoting requests to the right place, and where to put all the code for the remote calls. I installed ISAPI redirect to redirect to Tomcat for the CFC files (which works) but that’s not helping with the flash remoting calls.
Can anyone provide some pointers?

Do you get a white screen when you visit: 127.0.0.1:8888/flex2gateway

If yes - you should be good to go – if not, do a google search for Railo flex2gateway – you should find threads to get you going.

Post back if you run into a dead end

Yes, I get a blank screen. I got one of the developers to set up a test SWF and this is what I get back from the remoting call. The FRTest.cfc file is in the root of the web site

/1/onStatusÿÿÿÿ


code[1] Server.Processing rootCausedetailsmessage[1]?No destination with id ‘FRTest’ is registered with any service.

Is there some difference with the way this works in CF?
I have to create a destination in remoting-config.xml ?
The destination id needs to be in the submitted remoting request?
NOTE: I have removed the {context.root} part from the channel definition but it still behaves the same with it

If I put “cs” (destination id) in the remoting request I get a null pointer exception because it can’t find something. Anything else gets me the "No destination with id ‘…’ message

services-config.xml

        <channel-definition id="classic-cfamf" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
            <endpoint uri="http://{server.name}:{server.port}/flashservices/gateway/" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
            <properties>
                <polling-enabled>false</polling-enabled>
                <serialization>
                    <instantiate-types>false</instantiate-types>
                </serialization>
            </properties>
        </channel-definition>

remoting-config.xml

<service id="remoting-service" 
    class="flex.messaging.services.RemotingService">
    <adapters>
        <adapter-definition id="cf-object" class="org.lucee.extension.net.flex.LuceeAdapter" default="true"/>
        <adapter-definition id="java-object" class="flex.messaging.services.remoting.adapters.JavaAdapter"/>
    </adapters>
	
    <default-channels>
        <channel ref="my-cfamf"/>
        <channel ref="classic-cfamf"/>
    </default-channels>

    <destination id="cs">
        <channels>
            <channel ref="classic-cfamf"/>
        </channels>
        <properties>
            <source>*</source>
        </properties>
    </destination>
</service>

We have this running in a Linux environment. We don’t require a destination in the remoting-config.xml

Do you have your web.xml configured with the MessageBrokerservlet with the location of the services-config.xml? e.g.

<servlet id="MessageBrokerServlet"><servlet-name>MessageBrokerServlet</servlet-name>
<description>Lucee Servlet for Flex Gateway</description>
<servlet-class>flex.messaging.MessageBrokerServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param><param-name>services.configuration.file</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param><param-name>messageBrokerId</param-name>
<param-value>_default_</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

what do you have in your services-config.xml & remoting-config.xml?
What you show here is the same as I have. I have tried removing the destination from the remoting config but it doesn’t change anything. I am starting to think the develper who’s doing the flash stuff isn’t putting the destination into the flash config right so it won’t work.

Attached are the configuration files off WEB-INF/flex

messaging-config.xml (506 Bytes) proxy-config.xml (938 Bytes) remoting-config.xml (711 Bytes) services-config.xml (7.3 KB)

thanks @pat.moody but this is the same as what I have. Could you also post your web.xml file from the lucee config level?
I have been bashing my head against this for 3 days now :frowning:

This is the output from the BlazeDS debug set here - I would be interested to see what you get on a successful call

Some logging info for you:

Ok so this is a version 3 message, and the test code the developer gave produces version 0 messages. These look totally different. Not sure if this has helped but it’s great info thanks

Did you get this working amcss?
I have exact same setup & problem, driving me nuts!
