ColdFusion 8: Mappings

One common issue when CFers start using Flex with remoting is when they store cfcs somewhere else than the webroot and create a mapping. The flex application will start complaining that the CFC or interface could not be found. To fix this, you just need to change the property to true in the remoting-config.xml that can be found under the {cfusion-app}/WEB-INF/flex/ folder when using CF8 with integrated LCDS or services-config.xml in the same folder when not installed with LCDS.

In my opinion this should be set to true by default since when connecting to LCDS it will always use any mappings set in the admin.

If you enable and use cf-rtmp channel for your data-management destinations, you should be aware that the CF server will try to find your components only under the ColdFusion webroot. This is because through rtmp, CF is not aware where your webserver webroot folder is stored.

You can fix this easily by adding a mapping under the administrator to point to the right direction.
