WebORB and Flex 2.0.1 Update

If you are using WebORB and upgraded to the Flex 2.0.1 release, your Flex Builder project will report the following error:

"The services configuration includes a channel-definition 'my-polling-amf' that has an endpoint with a context.root token but a context root has not been defined. Please specify a context-root compiler argument."

The reason for the error is a missing configuration element introduced in 2.0.1. To fix the configuration open your Flex Builder project properties and select the "Flex Server" panel. There is a new field - "Context root". The field value must match the last segment of the root URL path. Below is a screenshot of the panel with the described change from one of my sample projects. Notice the "weborb" value matches the last segment in "http://localhost/weborb".
















Thanks to Alex MacCaw for bringing this to our attention.
