The reason why I want to get it going on the same server instance is that the CF application that I want to connect to maintains state. And since Flex and the CF running on the same Jrun instance can share data stored for the same session, I can get my Flex app to share all the application/session variables available through calling a CFC that can lookup the jsessionid and return the sesion information.
A little more background... I work for Straker Interactive in Auckland and Straker has a content management system called Shado. We are trying to setup Flex applications that can access a Shado user's variables on the CF server. I've tried this on Windows, and it works beautifully. I was quite amazed at the seamless-ness with which Flex could access a user's CF session information (after successful login etc. in the Flex app). A client of ours has CF7 running on a Solaris box, and no matter what I do, I can't seem to get Flex going on the CF instance. I know there might be a way to handle this situation differently (where Flex and CF are on separate instances). But the issue is that when I can integrate CF and Flex on a Windows box, I can't seem to be able to do that on a Solaris box! And Robin, the answer to your second question "is WEB-INF/lib/flex-bootstrap.jar there?": Yes, it is there.
