That's a nice clean solution requiring only a minimal edit on a redeploy(server 
move). 

 

I had previously tried to semi-automate this using the javascript code below; 
but that did not provide a host or hostname; however I'm not really a 
javascript guru and may have missed something.

 

            var flashvars = {};

            flashvars.hostname = window.location.hostname;

            flashvars.host     = window.location.host; 

            flashvars.port     = window.location.port;

            flashvars.mode     = "fred put this in to test";

            var params = {};

            params.quality = "high";

            params.bgcolor = "${bgcolor}";

            params.allowscriptaccess = "sameDomain";

            params.allowfullscreen = "true";

            var attributes = {};

            attributes.id = "${application}";

            attributes.name = "${application}";

            attributes.align = "middle";

            swfobject.embedSWF(

                "${swf}.swf", "flashContent", 

                "${width}", "${height}", 

                swfVersionStr, xiSwfUrlStr, 

                flashvars, params, attributes);

You can configure a basePath through flashvars as you said, but you don't have 
to make django serve the index.html to set that dynamically. You can put it by 
hand, allowing you to deploy on different servers in a decoupled manner.

 

Maybe I'm missing something here but I don't see anything wrong with that 
approach. I almost always use flashvars to specify at least one location, 
probably for a configuration file, which contains the paths to the backend 
services, external assets, etc. 

 

Another thing you could do is configure a CNAME record so that 
backend.frontendserver.com points to backendserver.com.

I use Flex for the client side and XML between client and server.  I am a "one 
man team" and so elegance sometimes gets sacrifices for "it works".   My 
typical deploy has been

/var/www/html/my flex swf and html code

And

/home/projectname/current/djangositename

 

This works well, except that I have to use absolute URL's in Flex (including 
the server name) because Flex will use either absolute or relative to the 
location of the .swf file.  This means I have to rebuild for different servers.

 

Are there any recommendations of "best practices"

1.       I could have the django view return the html page that includes the 
swf file.  This has the advantage of allowing django to pass in some flashvars 
to the application,  the disadvantage is closer coupling (at least for deploy) 
of client and server; or

2.       I could use the url redirect to allow a relative reference to get 
redirected to my django home.

 

I'm not an Apache expert and so I defer to the community which is more 
experienced with these issues for a clean, generic solution I can use going 
forward as I port to Django 1.4 and CentOs 6.
