I sent a private message but after I sent it I realized that didn't give you
anyway to respond to me.

First let me start by saying, I'm not a developer, I'm a Business Analyst but
I'm trying to learn as much about as I can about FLEX.

I'm working on the lesson about "Using Remote Object to Send Data to the
Server". I when to the website in the instructions and looked for LCDS ES
Express but I could not find it. I did some looking around and found out that
the LCDS ES express is the same thing as the LCDS ES ( the one for 1 cpu) I
down loaded it and installed it. It doesn't give me an option for JRun, the
only choices I have are J2EE and Tomcat. I chose J2EE. Then I downloaded the
server. The \jrun\server\default path did not exist in the lcds folder on C:,
so I created it. Bottom line I cannot start the the server.

I'm sure I have messed something (or several somethings) up, please help.

I had the same problem. The answer and link to what you need is provided in the topic entitled, "Week 3, Exercise 2 - JRun??"

The problem is the lesson was created with an older version... which at the
time, it was the new version.

Make sure when you install LCDS, choose the Tomcat option. This will install
the server application. Follow these steps below. I wrote these instructions
in another post but this hopefully help you and others who struggled with that
specific chapter.

If you're using the new version LiveCycle Data Services ES 2.6, you'll have to
adjust a few things:

When you install LCDS, click the Tomcat option and continue with the
installation.

Instead of unzipping to C:\lcds\jrun4\servers\default.. use this folder to
unzip the server.zip file instead:

C:\lcds\tomcat\webapps\odt

Also, instead of using port 8700, the new version uses 8400.

1. Start the Server: Programs > LiveCycle Data Services ES 2.6 > Start
LiveCycle Data Services Server. Allow the server to start up.

2. Point your browser to http://localhost:8400/ to test the start page.

3. Your URL for this example will be http://localhost:8400/odt/


Follow the PDF with the above modifications.

If you need to edit your Flex Project to reflect the new lcds version:

1. Right click on your Flex project > Properties

2. Select Flex Builder Path from the left outliner. At the bottom, make sure
your output folder points to C:\lcds\tomcat\webapps\odt\AdobeODT

3. Select the Library Path Tab: Click the third branch (fds.swc) and then
click the edit button. This should be the correct folder:
C:/lcds/tomcat/webapps/odt/WEB-INF/flex/libs/fds.swc

4. Click the fourth branch ({locale}) and then click the edit button. This
should be the correct folder:
C:/lcds/tomcat/webapps/odt/WEB-INF/flex/locale/{locale}

5. Finally, click on the Flex Compiler item on the left outliner interface.
Under Additional compiler arguments, correct the path in the -services switch
which should appear similar to this:
-services "C:\lcds\tomcat\webapps\odt\WEB-INF\flex\services-config.xml"
-locale en_US.

That should be it, make sure the server is running and compile your project
and submit the form.

Thank you very much. Complete and correct. You are not a "Junior" member for me, you're a hero.:grin;

i'm sorry, i have the same problem, i follow these steps, but when pdf file
says (step 41) "go to Reservation.mxml" it says "file not exists"( same with
options.mxml, and all files, except AdobeODT.mxml, but you must create this
file when you start the excercise)...

i think that it is a configuration problem... when i am creating the new
project ( after deleting current project), on the screen where you have to
"validate configuration", it shows an alert message "bin-debug folder already
exists, it will be overwritten"

i hope you can help me

thanks

Right. I think that I remember that. The directions in "Flex in a week" for
importing the zip files were incomplete.
I used WinRAR to unzip the project "starter" and then pointed the project path
at the top of that directory tree. It took me a couple of tries to match the
path to the tree.

That's the best of my memory.

this seems to work for me, the only problem I still have after this is that
when I run the application, the pictures for the rooms aren't visible anymore.
is this something that should change with the changed versions? or have I done
something wrong. I can't find a difference between my solution and the given
solution for the exercise

ok, I allready found the solution myself. Apparently, we have to use
assets/conference.jpg as path, and not assets\conference.jpg as in the
solution. No idea what exactly the difference is, but it works this way.
