With FluorineFX you need to add the tag [RemotingServiceAttribute]] to our service class to make it accessible. It means you need a hard reference to FluorineFX in your class.

There’s however a configuration setting to make all services accessible at once:

<!– value=”browse|access” –>

<remotingServiceAttribute>access</remotingServiceAttribute>

In Fluorine:

<classMappings>

 <classMapping>

  <type><![CDATA[System.Collections.Generic.List<T>]]></type>

  <customClass>Array</customClass>

 </classMapping>

</classMappings>

In FluorineFX:

In services-config.xml

<channels>

 <channel-definition id=“my-amf“ class=“mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel“>

  <endpoint uri=“http://{server.name}:{server.port}/context.root}/Gateway.aspx”  class=“flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint“/>

   <properties>

    <legacy-collection>true</legacy-collection>

   </properties>

  </channel-definition>

<!–

<channel-definition id=”my-rtmp” class=”mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel”>

<endpoint uri=”rtmp://{server.name}:2037″ class=”flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint”/>

<properties>

<idle-timeout-minutes>20</idle-timeout-minutes>

</properties>

</channel-definition>

–>

</channels>

Finding examples with AS2 to do a Remote Call (Fluorine or WebORB) is easy.
However, finding an example for AS3 is very, very hard.
Here's how you do it (thanks to Ward De Langhe):

We haven't been able to figure aout why ObjectEncoding.AMF3 doesn't work.
Well, it works, but in the result the objects are not deserialized, so you just get Objects...

SOLVED WITH FLUORINEFX VERSION 1.0.0.3!

In Fluorine there seems to be a problem with sending a xml object with null as a value.

Next screenshot is taken from Charles. As you can see there's a property Content which has null as a value. The property Content is typed to XML in Flex.

The error I get is:

and

Root element is missing.

Screenshot from Charles:

Apparently Fluorine doesn't check whether the value is null. We've looked into the source code of fluorine and indeed a XMLDocument is created with null as a parameter. This throws an exception... With WebOrb this problem does not occur.
I would have to ask if the problem is fixed with FluorineFX.
