Flash remoting in Railo

The past of days a couple people asked about flash remoting. They suspected that it would not work with Railo.

Railo in version 1.0 supports only the classic way of interacting with flash remoting via calls to .cfm files. Interaction via components (.cfc) will be supported in the next beta release of Railo.

"So how you can use the "classic" way to interact with flash remoting?"

Example
create a file named /examples/echo.cfm.

In this file add the following lines for a simple echo function:

Now you have a flash service called examples.echo([...]) that simply returns your parameters from your request. To test this service you need to do the following:

1. download the generic AMF Client as part of openAMF
2. Add the following data to the client.

   The following example is for a standard Railix version
   Gateway Url:	http://localhost:8888/flashservices/gateway
   Service Name	examples
   Service Method	echo
   arguments	1,2,3

3. have fun

The result looks like this:
