Adobe Flex crossdomain.xml

[GrahamRobbo]

Hi,

I want to create a crossdomain.xml file on my WEB AS ABAP for consuming ABAP web services from Adobe Flex applications.

As I understand it Flex requires the file to reside in the root directory of the server. So I need to have it available via a URL like http://sapserver.mydomain.com/crossdomain.xml.

It seems that the ICF will not allow me to create a new subelement or an External Alias with special characters in it. It seems a dot (.) is a special character.

So I can create the file at http://sapserver.mydomain.com/crossdomain no problems, but I can't create it at http://sapserver.mydomain.com/crossdomain.xml.

Does anyone know of a way around this?

Cheers

Graham

have you seen this thread

is your flex application going to run on a different webserver or are you planning to host in it your ABAP server itself. (where the WS resides)

Thanks Durairaj,

I hadn't thought about the default service options in the ICF.

Yes I am going to host the Flex application on a separate server and consume ABAP web services (actually most of them are BSP pages that deliver XML payloads).

Cheers

Great and all the best. We have also taken the path of using BSP generated XML instead of webservices. and within flex with result format in e4x the xml handling is much easier.
