Comments on: The Solution to Flex Remoting Over SSL http://blog.crankybit.com/flex-remoting-over-ssl/ Take a byte out of tech! Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:54:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: MikeG http://blog.crankybit.com/flex-remoting-over-ssl/#comment-125962 MikeG Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:47:50 +0000 http://blog.crankybit.com/flex-remoting-over-ssl/#comment-125962 I spent a lot of time today trying to figure out why Flex Remoting was not working. These instructions are old hat and normal stuff for us but we just could not get it working. So, I took a dive into the cfusion-event.log and cfusion-out.log files and found the problem. Somehow an extra node was added to the properties node in the services-config.xml file. The log files pointed me right to it. So, for anyone else who is scratching their head wondering why it aint working, take a good look at those log files. The easiest way to is stop CF, move all the log files (jrun4\logs for enterprise version) somewhere else. Start CF and it will re create the files. Now open up the log files looking for errors. In my case, this was the error, clear as day javax.servlet.ServletException: Unrecognized tag found in <properties>. Please consult the documentation to determine if the tag is invalid or belongs inside of a different tag: '/instantiate-types' in channel with id: 'my-cfamf-secure' from file: services-config.xml I removed that node from the xml file, restarted CF and all was golden. So, don't forget your log files.. I spent a lot of time today trying to figure out why Flex Remoting was not working.

But if you take the gist of these instructions and apply them to the CF9 files, they work. Maybe an update to the instructions to be specific to CF9 would be in order....

I got the above changes to work great on a single CF server - but when I applied the same file changes to both CF servers in our cluster, I got “Destination ‘ColdFusion’ not accessible over channel ‘my-cfamf-secure’.” Any ideas?

Very useful. I am using Remote object in my project which communicates with java object for data. The remote object works fine and gets the result properly. If i leave the application for more than 20 minutes and come back and do any other operation (Remote object call). It gives me an amf connection not established error. How do i handle this.

Of course if the compiler could talk, it would have explained that I hadn't set the channels and default channels where it was expecting to find them (because I hadn't set up my development server to match the production server) ... finally corrected those issues, recompiled, and the app worked just fine.
