Flex 2.0 can not load MessageBrokerServlet

I have been playing around with some of the Flex 2.0 examples for ColdFusion. I am trying to get the cfcontact example working and I get the following error when I try to edit the flex-data-service.xml file.

error Could not pre-load servlet: MessageBrokerServlet

I made the following two changes to this file;

<adapters>
<adapter-definition id="actionscript" class="flex.data.adapters.ASObjectAdapter" default="true"/>
<adapter-definition id="java-dao" class="flex.data.adapters.JavaAdapter"/>
<adapter-definition id="hibernate" class="flex.data.adapters.HibernateAdapter"/>
<!-- Uncomment this if you want to use the ColdFusion Data Services Adapter -->
<adapter-definition id="coldfusion-dao" class="coldfusion.flex.CFDataServicesAdapter"/>

</adapters>

I also added the destination for the cfcontact;

<destination id="cfcontact">
<adapter ref="coldfusion-dao"/>
<channels>
<channel ref="cf-dataservice-rtmp" />
</channels>
<properties>
<metadata>
<identity property="contactId"/>
</metadata>
<network>
<session-timeout>0</session-timeout>
<paging enabled="false" size="10"/>
<throttle-inbound policy="ERROR" max-frequency="500"/>
<throttle-outbound policy="REPLACE" max-frequency="500"/>
</network>
<server>
<assembler>

<component>samples.contact.ContactAssembler</component>

<hostname>localhost</hostname>

<access>

<method-access-level>remote</method-access-level>
</access>

<property-case>

<force-cfc-lowercase>false</force-cfc-lowercase>

<force-query-lowercase>false</force-query-lowercase>

<force-struct-lowercase>false</force-struct-lowercase>
</property-case>
</assembler>


<fill-method>
<name>fill</name>
</fill-method>

<sync-method>
<name>sync</name>
</sync-method>

<get-method>
<name>get</name>
</get-method>

<count-method>
<name>count</name>
</count-method>
</server>
</properties>
</destination>

The only thing I can think of that might be causing a problem is that I am running CF mystic under IIS and Jrun. I have standalone version of jrun Flex data services running on port 8700.

Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

Mike Rankin's Gravatar I'm still very new at working with CF/Flex, so I can only shed a little light on your issue instead of solving it. I can tell you that I have the exact same setup that you have described and this sample app is running for me.

I have the multi-server developer edition of CF running and going through IIS. I also have FDS on port 8700.

At least, that might help you look in other areas to find the issue.

David Fekke's Gravatar Mike,

Thank you for your Flex experiences. I am running ColdFusion MX 7 under JRun4, but I am running an older version of ColdFusion 6.1 as a Standalone server. Both are setup so I can run them under IIS, but I am just running 7.01. I have the Flex with integrated JRun running, which is a separate version of JRun. I think that might be causing the problem.

Thank you,
David.

Bernie Lapierre's Gravatar Did you find the reason for this?
I am getting this error starting up my JRun server.

David Fekke's Gravatar I was able to get this working, but I cannot tell you how I did it, becuase it just started working. I have a weird problem with one of my development machines where an instance can be running, but JRun does not see that it is running. I have not tried with the latest versions of Flex and CFMX.

Good luck,
David.

Kurt Mossman's Gravatar This can happen if you have the default-ear that JRun creates and you install the /samples files for Flex Data Services installed together.

The problem is with the commons-logging.jar. If you copy the commons-logging.properties file from the samples\WEB-INF\flex\jars\commons-logging.properties directory to the samples\WEB-INF\classes\commons-logging.properties directory, it will resolve the problem.

This is listed as Adobe FDS bug: 179227

Heather Carter's Gravatar Check that the data services config file destination fully quantifies fill parameters.
Ex:
<destination .....>
<fill-method>
<name>searchPorts</name>
<params>java.util.Map</params>
</fill-method>

I am deploying flex on weblogic, and was using daoflex to generate my daos.
It was just populating the params tag with the class.
<params>Map</params>

When I noticed that the MessageBrokerServlet wasn't starting up, it was
complaining about my data adapter and it couldn't find class "Map".

Junior's Gravatar Hello, I tryed this example and I got the follow error:

Unable to find the ColdFusion Data Management Service in RMI registry on 'localhost:1099'. Flex Data Management support may not be enabled.

Do you know what is it?
Thanks

David Fekke's Gravatar Junior,

It sounds like you need make change to one of the config files. It has been over a year since I have worked with LiveCycle or FDS.

Good luck,
David
# Posted By David Fekke | 1/15/08 6:13 AM
Junior's Gravatar I checked the config files and i think that working fine. I have running coldfusion 8 and coldfusion 7, probably it is the problem.
I search information in the web and I found it:

When this error occurs, ColdFusion is unable to start the Flex 2 Assembler service. The error is logged in the cf_root/logs/flex.log file.

but i do not know how I can to repair this?

thanks
