I think what Matt was saying is having the components directory a level deeper and then referencing this directory in actionscript-classpath in flex-config.xml. You should be able to create references to components in any directory you put in actionscript-classpath in the same manner that you

RE: [flexcoders] headless server

2005-07-26 Thread Brian Deitte
Hi Clint, most likely what is happening here is that the J2EE server (through Java security) is set up to not allow Properties.setProperties() to be called.  You'll need to find out how to set the JVM property java.awt.headless to true, which is all that this configuration parameter does.

Hi Dirk, I'm not positive on this, but I don't think you actually have all of the framework in the SWC file. I'd guess that you wouldn't see, for instance, MediaDisplay in it. You see more components than just Button because we will automatically include all components/classes that Button needs-

If you are using custom components and this only occurs when recompiling, then try setting cache-swos in flex-config.xml to false. Setting this to false will degrade compilation performance a bit, but this setting has been known to cause a problem or two like this in the past. I don't know of any

You should only need to add "faq" to the whitelist in order to use the session servlet. The servlet context name needs to be added to the RemoteObject's whitelist in order for the session servlet to be used. This is a bit strange, I'll admit, and we do have a bug open to try to make this easier. In
