Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / April 2006

This problems are in the Flash Remoting MX for java environment.
Please help to look what's problems?

Using Flash 8 to careate a flash file, "say.fla"
Using ActionScript2.0
Using JDK 1.4.2_09
Using Tomcat 4.1.31

I installed Flash Remote Gateway Servlet (from "flashgateway-samples.war") to
Tomcat and using contextRoot is "flashservices".

Then flash using remote gateway to call java bean are successfully.
Then I write a new servlet "FlashServlet" add to Flash Remote Gateway web
application.
I using browser just access servlet, it work.

Then modify my flash to call this servlet, always occur
"flashgateway.adapter.NoSuchServiceException: No service named flashservices
is known to Flash Remoting MX"

The servlet code is below:
------------------------------------------------------
package chess;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;

public class FlashServlet extends HttpServlet {

    public void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse rsp)
throws ServletException, IOException {

        System.out.println("System out from FlashServlet");
        req.setAttribute("FLASH.RESULT", "Test by FlashServlet");
    }
}
------------------------------------------------------

The add part for this servlet in the web.xml are below:
------------------------------------------------------
         <servlet>
        <servlet-name>ChessFlashServlet</servlet-name>
        <display-name>ChessFlashServlet</display-name>
        <servlet-class>chess.FlashServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>ChessFlashServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/chessServlet</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
------------------------------------------------------

After start Tomcat, I just using browser to connect
"http://localhost:8080/examples/chessServlet" servlet, you can see "
System out from FlashServlet" string in the Tomcat standard output.

The I using the flash to call servlet by remoting gateway, it's below:
------------------------------------------------------
import mx.remoting.NetServices;
import mx.remoting.Connection;

mx.remoting.NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://localhost:8080/flashservice
s/gateway");
gatewayConnnection = mx.remoting.NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
flashtestService = gatewayConnnection.getService("flashservices", this);
flashtestService.ChessFlashServlet();

function ChessFlashServlet_Result(result) {
    output_label.text = result;
}

function ChessFlashServlet_Status(result){
    output_label.text = "status: " + result.details;
}
------------------------------------------------------
