I going through some gettingstarted examples of using flex with AMFPHP I got it working. But to be honest, I don’t understand this services-config.xml file
Given:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<services-config>
<services>
<service id="remoting-service"
class="flex.messaging.services.RemotingService"
messageTypes="flex.messaging.messages.RemotingMessage">
<destination id="amfphp">
<channels>
<channel ref="my-amfphp"/>
</channels>
<properties>
<source>*</source>
</properties>
</destination>
</service>
</services>
<channels>
<channel-definition id="my-amfphp" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
<endpoint uri="http://localhost/amfphp/gateway.php"
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
</channel-definition>
</channels>
</services-config>
The only info from that file i use in my RemoteObject is this destination atttribut:
<mx:RemoteObject destination="amfphp" …/>
But what I don’t understand way they split the services-tag from channels-tag and most important how do they relate? Could somebody explain this or hint me to some easy to understand tutorial?
I tried to read adobe livedocs on Using RPC Components etc but it is so confusing, to be honest i don’t understand a word of it. what exacly is service-tag and channel-tag and whay i have to use both of them- i mean one will never switch my amfphp endpoint at runtime, will one? And way?
(ok, that destination has channel ref which reference the “other” channel-tag which points to my amfphp-gateway -but so what? what does it mean, way so commplicated - Wouldn’t it be easier if one would jut give the endpoint attribute to the RemoteObject and everything is fine?)
Thankful for any help
