[ah, yes. the gold old days :-]

In the calling (~generated) .html - the link to the flash goes something like ..
http://mahost/mycharting.swf?url=/blahcontext/app?service=page&page=MyChartXML&id=6654321
(The flash/swf just grabs the "url" arg from the querystring in the
ActionScript code, and performs ~GET to request the xml.)
> 2) figure how to return XML data instead of HTML
I think the key is to implement this on MyChartXML.java
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
public ContentType getResponseContentType() {
return new ContentType("text/xml");
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The MyChartXML.html file .. is vanilla:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<goo>
...
</goo>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MyChartXML.page is ordinary too.
Cheers,
-Matt
