Services configuration file

You can configure Remoting Service, Message Service and Data Management Service in the <services> section of the services configuration file (services-config.xml). The location of this file is the WEB-INF/flex directory of your ASP.NET web application.

Alternativelly the services-config.xml file can include files by reference that contain service definitions.

services-config.xml

This is the top-level configuration file. Contains security constraint definitions, channel definitions, inline service definitions or service definitions by reference.

remoting-config.xml

Defines Remoting Service destinations for working with remote objects.

messaging-config.xml

Defines Message Service destinations for performing publish subscribe messaging.

data-management-config.xml

Defines Data Management Service destinations.

FluorineFx uses the same service configuration system for both Flex and Flash remoting applications.
