Flash Remoting with Java: Problems

[thegreendove]

Hi! I was checking out an example I found on the web. I installed the application as they instructed. I'm using Tomcat server (v5.5.15) on port 8085. My Flash version is 8 and I installed the remoting components for version 8 AS2.0. But I'm getting the following error after I run the app:

Error opening URL "http://localhost:8085/helloworld/gateway"

Here's the codes:

Code on layer 1:
============

// ON TIMELINE VERSION //////////////////////////////////////////////
import mx.remoting.Service;
import mx.services.Log;
import mx.rpc.RelayResponder;
import mx.rpc.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.ResultEvent;
import mx.remoting.PendingCall;  

mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug.initialize(); // initialize the NetConnection Debugger
var myLogger:Log = new Log( Log.DEBUG, "logger1" );

// override the default log handler
myLogger.onLog = function( message:String ):Void {
 trace( "myLogger-->>>"+message );
}
//Create the service ->based on back-end used, comment/uncoment following arguments
myService = new Service(
	  "http://localhost:8085/helloworld/gateway",
	  myLogger,
	  "com.flashdb.services.HelloWorld",
	  null,
	  null); 
//Handler for results
function onEchoData(msg: ResultEvent){
	mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug.trace({level:"Debug", message:"onEchoData" });
	show.text = msg.result
}
//Handler for errors
function onEchoFault(rs: FaultEvent ){
	mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug.trace({level:"None", message:"There was a problem: " + fault.fault.faultstring });
}
//Buttons handlers
callButton.onPress = function(){
   var pc:PendingCall = myService.makeEcho("Hello World!");
   pc.responder = new RelayResponder(this._parent, "onEchoData", "onEchoFault" );
}
clearButton.onPress = function(){
	show.text = "";
}
stop()

Here's the java code:

package com.flashdb.services;

public class HelloWorld {
	public String makeEcho(String msg){
		return msg;
	}
}

and Here's the web.xml:

	</session-config>
	<welcome-file-list>

	</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

I have openamf.jar residing at WEB-INF\lib

Please tell me what's wrong here.

From your error, I'd say it just cannot find the gateway. What happens when you put this url into the browser directly?

No use. It still can't find the gateway servlet.

The requested resource (Servlet DefaultGateway is not available) is not available.

But my other servlets are running fine on my Tomcat server.

Anybody who can come up with a solution, please let me know. This thing is eating my head!
