Enabling web services access for Flash Remoting

By default, Flash Remoting cannot access ColdFusion MX 6.1 through web services.

To enable Flash Remoting to access ColdFusion MX 6.1 through web services:

Open the cf_root/wwwroot/WEB-INF/web.xml file in a text editor. In the J2EE configuration, open cf_root/WEB-INF/web.xml.

Locate the servlet definition for FlashGateway and change the DISABLE_CFWS_ADAPTERS init-param from true to false, as follows:

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>FlashGateway</servlet-name>
...
    <init-param>
      <param-name>DISABLE_CFWS_ADAPTERS</param-name>
      <param-value>false</param-value>
      <description>When set to true, this setting disables the 
        ColdFusion WebServices Adapters in the gateway.</description>
    </init-param>
</servlet>

Save the file.

Version 6.1

Comments are no longer accepted for ColdFusion MX 6.1. ColdFusion 8 is the current version.

This is incorrect, DISABLE_CFWS_ADAPTERS does NOT exist in web.xml in an installation of MX then 6.1. Do you even read and follow your own instructions?

jipai is right - this entry is not in the file.

Thanks to jipai and Barnaby for the feedback. This page should include a note that say something like:

If you are upgrading from ColdFusion MX to ColdFusion MX 6.1, you must add the complete init-param element (and sub-elements).
