Newbie here trying to get my first Flex/BlazeDS app up and running. I'm using the Spring-Flex integration and believe I have properly configured my servet and remoting destinations. My only remaining questions relate to how to configure the channels.
The use of the Spring/BlazeDS integration means that I do not have to have a remoting-config.xml file anymore. But it the documentation is unclear as to whether I need to configure my channels within a services-config.xml file still.
If I do need a services-config.xml file (and I think I do), how does one get away without hard coding the server URL? I've seen samples on the web like:
url="https://\{server.name\}:\{server.port\}/flex2gateway/cfamfsecure"
But I don't get when/where/what does the dynamic substituion? They almost look like Maven or Spring properties, but they can't be. Is this just something that has to be manually changed after installation?
Finally, I really don't like the idea of compiling the Flex client against a server-side configuration file as I have seen suggested on the web. How would one go about have the Flex client discover - or otherwise figure out what it needs to do dynamically?
Sorry for the multi-question post....thanks for any help!
