Set Up Your Development Environment - MACROMEDIA COLDFUSION MX 7.0.2-USING COLDFUSION MX WITH FLEX 2 Use Manual

Set up your development environment

The ColdFusion Event Gateway Adapter lets you create applications in which Flex Data
Services and ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 communicate. Flex Data Services includes the
ColdFusion Event Gateway Adapter. ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 includes the Flex Messaging event
gateway.
To complete this tutorial, you must have the following products installed:
Flex Data Services
■
ColdFusion MX 7.0.2
■
Start Flex and ColdFusion
To set up your development environment, you must start Flex Data Services and ColdFusion.
This tutorial assumes that both Flex Data Services 2 and ColdFusion are running on localhost
(127.0.0.1) on your local computer. Because of the way in which the Remote Method
Invocation (RMI) registry is created and maintained, Adobe recommends that you start Flex
Data Services, and then start ColdFusion.
The example ColdFusion application uses the cfmail tag. You must set up an e-mail
server in the ColdFusion MX Administrator before testing the application.
Enable the ColdFusion Event Gateway Adapter

To become familiar with the messaging-config.xml file, view it in an XML editor so that
you can expand and collapse sections.
