I haven't used Flex for anything in probably four years, which means I've never done anything with Flex and CF9 together. You might check the LCDS support forums on Adobe.com, if there is such a thing. Balashankar, I'm not sure what to tell you.

If I do this manually, don't I then limit my returns to XML only and don't I kill any possiblility of pushing (messaging) my data from the server to the client for realtime data? Shouldn't my secure endpoint in the config-services.xml be "/flex2gateway/cfamfsecure"? Is there any update to this discussion?
our setup:
- Flex Builder without -services tag (Basic setup – no server)
- Wrapper grabbing URL and adding "/flex2gateway/" and passing string in via flashVars.
- flashVars read and set to variable in Flex application
- variable used as endpoint in RemoteObject (endpoint="variable")
- path to CFC set in RemoteObject source (source="path.to.cfc")
- services-config.xml has default channel ()and new secure channel ()
- non secure (endpoint uri="http://{server.name}:{server.port}/flex2gateway/" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>)
- secure (uri="https://{server.name}:{server.port}/flex2gateway/" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint")
- context root removed as we do not have one set

I believe if you only have a single channel in your destination config, it'll use it. I've never actually compiled a SWF with services-config.xml, I've always managed my channelsets manually for the flexibility. The Flex docs should turn up the answers. My point was that if you use services-config.xml, the compiler is in charge of picking the right classes to use, instead of having to do it manually. Rajesh,

If you're using services-config.xml in your compilation process, it's a no brainer," but, i dont know how should i do it if i am using the services-config.xml in compilation process. Can you please let me know what to do in this case ? Hi Barney,

You said

At work, we're going to be deploying our first Flex-based e-com app in a couple weeks, and obviously be using SSL for it. To this point, we haven't seen any issues, but we're using the in-Flex channel config stuff, not using services-config. Interesting, John.

I do have add-no-cache-headers set to false in service-config.

I have built the Flex application using the remoting-config.xml settings as per my previous post and have now been using SmartSniff to look at the packets between my Browser and the Server to see which channel is actually being used. I should make it clear that I am not specifying the channelSet in my client as Barney does in his original post - I am just specifying it in the remoting-config file when I build the application with the default as my-amf-secure - if I trace remoteObject.channelSet I see that it does include both my-amf and my-amf-secure. In conclusion, with the same application deployed (using IE7): - as expected http packets are sent and received with the http localhost deployment. - https packets are sent from Flex to CF but the responses are http packets with the SSL deployment! Using Firefox I found I needed to specify the my-amf channel before the my-amf-secure channel within the channels tags in order to get the same behaviour as observed with IE! With the channels specified in the opposite order the http packets are returned to the Browser. So I have got something wrong somewhere! More investigations required.

John,
