The project I'm working on is using Flex 3 (latest beta) and LCDS 2.5.1 running under Tomcat 6.x. The service consists of a Java class and is correctly defined in the remoting-config.xml
All things work as they should. Now I want to move the project to a AIR application. I know how to setup an AIR application and moving from a working Flex 3 application to an AIR application is no big deal. The project compiles without problems and the -services directive points to the services-config.xml, the same one from the working Flex 3 application. So one expect things to be alright but then things fall apart. As soon as the AIR application is launched and tries to connect to the destination, the following error occurs. [FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="Send failed" faultCode="Client.Error.MessageSend" faultDetail="Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed: url: 'http://oolWall_AIR.swf/coolwall/messagebroker/ amf'"] messageId="8E8E8B57-66F0-D797-2B5E-137734E88D9C" type="fault" bubbles=false cancelable=true eventPhase=2] It is immediately obvious that the url is not correct. The host name and port is missing and even the first letter "C" is missing from .swf file name. It should have read http://localhost:8080/coolwall/ messagebroker/amf but apparently the AIR application is using the .swf file name minus the starting Capital character as the host name and port number. I use a program called ServiceCapture to capture the network chatter and it confirmed me that the host name and port number is indeed wrong. I mean it could also be a faulty debug trace statement but this proofs that the generated URL when using AIR and LCDS is wrong. In the Adobe Flex Builder Jira bug tracking system there is an issues which has been closed a couple of month ago and dismisses it as an error of either LCDS or AIR. The workaround is handcoding the exact URL in the remoting-config.xml file which is ofcourse not very sensible. I cannot judge which product is the one to blame as I lack the knowledge to do so. So does anyone (Adobe?) know which product (FB, AIR, LCDS?) is faulty and when it will be fixed. Thank you very much.
