Deploy RemoteObject Service Remotely
OK, I finally got my webservices converted from XML webservices to
RemoteObject AMF services on my local machine and it is working like a
charm, fast as lightning. But this is a mobile app and the database and
services need to be moved to a server, and I am struggling to get everything
set up properly to communicate remotely. Here is what I have done:
1) I moved the folder containing my services to my webserver, it is called
mytestservice2. It contains four php files - index.php, HalfService.php,
VOService.php, VOCompsService.php. Index.php is the important one as it
exposes the Zend AMF endpoint. When I use my browser to browse to
http://www.billspencere.com/mytestservice2/index.php, it displays "Zend AMF
Endpoint". So I know that PHP and Zend include_paths are all set properly
to locate Zend AMF.
2) I altered my services-config.xml file to point to the new endpoint in the
URI at the bottom of the file. Here is the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<services-config>
<services>
<service id="amfphp-flashremoting-service"
class="flex.messaging.services.RemotingService"
messageTypes="flex.messaging.messages.RemotingMessage">
<destination id="zend">
<channels>
<channel ref="my-zend"/>
</channels>
<properties>
<source>*</source>
</properties>
</destination>
</service>
</services>
<channels>
<channel-definition id="my-zend"
class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
<endpoint uri="http://www.billspencere.com/mytestservice2"
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
</channel-definition>
</channels>
</services-config>
3) I make sure that the compiler knows to include the services-config.xml
file when it compiles by adding this statement to my additional compiler
arguements dialogue:
-services "C:\Users\waspe\Adobe Flash Builder
4.7\RemoteObjectTest5\services-config.xml"
Unfortuanately, it is not making all of the appropriate connections because
I keep getting this error when I run the program:
[RPC Fault faultString="Channel disconnected"
faultCode="Client.Error.DeliveryInDoubt" faultDetail="Channel disconnected
before an acknowledgement was received"]
This is the most important and final step in my development cycle. I have
to be able to get this deployed to a server and connect remotely. Please
give me any thoughts that you may have AT ALL!!!
Thanks,
Bill
