Bug - Need to reconnect remoting gateway, with each remote function call

[Amn]

This is a server-side script issue, not a Flash player Remoting issue. Although the "NetServices.as" is available for Server MX, and has the same API, i found an issue, which I am not sure is local to my script, my server, or is a well-known bug.

The bug has to do with the following. From Server MX I call some remote .NET functions using the Remoting. I connect the gateway, everything works fine, I call some remote method, it returns fine results, and then... next time I call the same method, i wait infinitely for the results... The solution was to issue a 'connect' call again, reconnecting the gateway, with EACH remote function call. However, no documentation says I should do that, and as far as I understand you only connect to the gateway once, and as I trace my gateway connection object, it is still valid each time prior to issuing a 'call' method, without reconnecting. Flash player clients do not suffer from this issue...

Has anyone experienced this issue ?

Update:

According to the "Using Remoting" Macromedia paper, the connection to the remoting gateway "only persists until the results of the call returned to the Flash application" (p. 151). In other words, this means that for each Remoting call, the connection has to be re-established. However, the question is, why that is not needed when using client-side Remoting ?
