Hi everyone,

I am starting to retract my brain from an intense 2 days to
figure out how to use Flex with Coldfusion. I am using Coldfusion 8
Beta (this part is good, don't need help for CF itself). I am also
using Flex Builder 2 (with chart but this not the topic). I
installed FDS 2.5 before to install ColdFusion 8 but I think CF8
have is own FDS or something like that... anyway, it might help to
mention it!

Well, I tried HTTPService, RemoteObject, WebSer vice -
NOTHING WORKS!!! Argh! Did I mention I spent 2 days? ;-)))

Well, I start with the basic: a login form with an email (as
a username) and a password to be validated. I have a CFC to do the
validation and return a simple message (string): "OK' when it is
valid and a custom message when it is not valid; depending if it is
the password and/or the email which is not valid.

I always got an error. Since the error is different depending
of the method I use, I will explain the latest method I used in
this message and try to concentrate on that method specifically!
The method is WebService and here is the error:

faultCode:Server.Error.Request

faultString:'HTTP request error'

faultDetail: 'Error: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError"

bubbles:false cancelable=false eventPhase=2

text="Error #2032: Stream Error .
URL=http://localhost:8501/iDashboard/login.cfc"].

URL: http://localhost:8501/iDashboard/login.cfc'

Any help will be very useful!!!

Thank's

P.S.: I succeed to execute a HTTPService only if I call a XML
file.

Calling CF WebServices from Flex shouldn't involve FDS unless
you're using

the Proxy Service (which is only really needed if you can't
host your SWFs

on the same CF server or can't establish a crossdomain.xml
file). Are you

using the FDS proxy service to contact this WebService?

If so, can you look at the server console when you start up
ColdFusion and

check that there weren't any configuration errors?

Hi, first, thank you for the reply - I feel lessa lone now!

I know that WebService is not require FDS as I read it and
this is partially why I do not understand why it is not working as
it is suppose to be very simple!!!

Before answer your reply, I will just say that I installa
Flex Builder 2 and than FDS 2.5 and than ColdFusion 8. I though all
the XML file for setup will be ajsuted automatically by all these
installations since I am not so familiar with "changing setup XML
file". Don't get me wrong, it is not that I do not understand XML
language but never had (since I am a ColdFusion programmer) to play
very much with those files. I understand, from all the reading I
did to learn Flex, that tose files can give confusion at some point
as Flex as is own XML and ColdFusion also. So, the bottom line is
that I did not touch the XML file and this mean that I do not use
any proxydomain.xml other than the "default" one - if any exist.

As for the ColdFusion 8 startup - I think you point to
something interesting as I got an eror. Here is the error when I
start the service through cmd.exe (I am using Windows):

C:\ColdFusion8\bin>cfstart

ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed: Address already in
use

ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize,
TRANSPORT_INIT(510)

JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No
transports initialized [../../../src/share/back/debugInit.c:690]

FATAL ERROR in native method: JDWP No transports initialized,
jvmtiError=AGENT_E

RROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197)

I will start to look from my side through Google what I can
find about this but if you have any hint to help me, do not
hesitate to let me know!!!

Thank you very much.

Sorry, I made a mistake as the error mentioned before is not
a real error. It was an error because the service of ColdFusion 8
was not really stopped!

It has no error:

You say you have Flex Builder 2, but is it Flex Builder 2.0.1
Hotfix 2? You

really should have this version when working with LCDS 2.5 or
CF8.

Some other things to check come to mind....

If your CF server is at
http://localhost:8501/... is
there a context-path

for the cf war file? If so, is it /iDashboard?

For RemoteObject or proxied HTTPService/WebService, did you
point Flex Builder

at your /WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml file with the
-services command

line compiler argument? If so, then did you remember to
specify the -context-root

command line compiler argument too as it's likely that you've
still got {context.root}

tokens in your services-config.xml channel-definition
endpoint urls, say

-context-root=/iDashboard?

Also, how are you loading your SWF to view the flex
application? Does the

SWF reside on the same ColdFusion server? Remember that to
the SWF security

sandbox, a server name of "localhost" is not equivalent to
"127.0.0.1" -

make sure you use the exact same server name in loading the
SWF and making

connections to remote servers.

If it's not the same server, you may need a crossdomain.xml
policy file.
