Steve, That sounds like what I will need to do. I have not managed to connect to it locally from an AIR application so using a facade web service is probably the best option. Thanks everybody for the input.

>>> "Steve Onnis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 21/05/2008 12:38 am >>> i have done that sorta but using CF. Created a webservice and dropped it on each server. Then when i want to connect to the server from another server i use the webservice as my gateway. <cfcomponent extends="cfide.adminapi.administrator"></cfcomponent> could be your webservice but i am unsure if the adminapi is accessible remotely. If you are able to connect to it using air locally i would imagine it is so you should be able to call all the functions through the webservice. that is unless i am way off :) steve From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Owen West Sent: Tuesday, 20 May 2008 1:14 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Connect To Remote CF Server Admin API from AIR Application Hi all, Hoping somebody can help me out. We have several clustered CF8 instances here at work and I want to develop an AIR application whereby our developers can connect to a CF Cluster name from the AIR app, enter CF DSN details, Mappings, etc and have these settings created automaticallly at the click of a button on each CF instance in the cluster. This will greatly simplify our deployment as currently we need to log in to each instance separately using the CF administrator URL, create all required elements, making sure we get all the settings right, and repeat for each cf server. My main problem at the moment is that I am having difficulty in getting the AIR application to connect to a remote ColdFusion server's Admin API cfcs. I can connect to my local development server's admin api, but not my remote testing server. It is certainly possible that I have missed something really obvious, however I cannot seem to figure out how to do this. All the examples I have seen show using cfml code such as adminObj = createObject("component", "cfide.adminapi.administrator ( http://appdevcf.cfide.adminapi.administrator/ )"); However, this only connects to the local CF server. How can I "point" this at a remote ColdFusion server's admin api? As I said, maybe I'm missing something really obvious - if so please point me in the right direction!
