Flex 2 + ColdFusion: Scott Stroz Saves the Day

ColdFusion MX
I spent a while last night swearing at Flex 2. I just couldn't get it to connect to ColdFusion to save my life. In Beta 1, there was the "wrong path web.xml" issue for multiserver installs. In Beta 2, that's been fixed, but there's apparantly a new multiserver "wrong path" fix that you need to put in place that Scott Stroz informed me of. After installing the CF/Flex Connectivity Update (Mystic), do the following:
- Shut ColdFusion back down.
- Rename c:jrun4jre to c:jrun4jre_old
- Copy c:jrun4 untimejre to c:jrun4jre
- Restart CF
This should fix the "Error: faultCode:Client.Error.MessageSend faultString:'Send failed' faultDetail:'Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 500'" that you may be getting.
Flex seems to be a great product, but it'd help us out a lot if more QA went into the installers!

Support to CF Mystic doesn't seem to exist. There are a lot of questions in FlexCoders and in Macromedia newsgroups but most are still waiting for a technical responses.If they want us to beta-test it, they should care more about having the product running.
