Dustin, Thanks for verifying this. Its odd that so few people have noticed this. I guess perhaps everyone just uses apache as a front end. But for me setting up apache on linux is just another headache since I am not familiar with it, so I really dont want to introduce any new complexities. So

Hi there,What I usually do is create a virtual folder on my project which points to the tomcat webapp folder. Then I change the ouput folder through the compile settings screen: right click on the project - properties - Flex Build path. Then to force eclipse to launch for example

Oh, thats an interesting idea. A virtual folder. I'll have to try that. But boy such an ugly solution! I hopefully they can fix this.ThanksHankOn 11/5/06, Xavi Beumala [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi there,What I usually do is create a virtual folder on my project which points to the tomcat

It sounds like you are letting FDS compile for you on the server. I am compiling on the client. To restate, hopefully, more clearly my problem, it is as follows: I want my swf and html output files to be inside: webapps/serlvet-name instead of: webapps/serlvet-name/flex-app-name I am not able

Ok, looking at this somemore, I think this is most likely a design bug in flex builder. There is no reason for flex builder to prevent the user from specifying any folder he likes for the build output. For FDS applications, it seems the flex builder is limited to generating compiler output in a

Yeah, this one is annoying. I don't use the Compile locally option just because of this issue. I have it compile on the server. Definately something that should be filed with Adobe though. I keep meaning to file a wish request for this, I'll make some time to do that today. Dustin Mercer

Sounds like this is beyond the scope of Tomcat configuration, since the hostname will be resolved by DNS at the client regardless of what webserver is actually running on that host. Assuming you have DNS issues already worked out though, you could easily just redirect to the desired url by

Thanks. But I did figure it out. I just needed to configure a new host in my server.xml file with an appBase parameter that points to the necessary directory. The concern that my admin had was that he believed that the directory pointed to by appBase had to have a WEB-INF directory. This does

On further investigation, our initial understanding was correct and the WEB-INF folder must be inside the application directory. I thought things worked because tomcat will point to the app, but the FDS remote access does not work. So I guess the simple question is this. Do all FDS applications
