Server-side Flex configuration

[thijs]

Flex applications can access exposed classes as "destinations". Destinations can be configured server-side, traditionally through one of 3 XML config files:

• services-config.xml -- configures Flex endpoint (RPC/Messaging)
• remoting-config.xml -- configures Flex RPC destinations
• messaging-config.xml -- configures Flex messaging destinations

You can use access these destinations with a Flex RemoteObject like:

remoteObject = new RemoteObject();
remoteObject.destination = "InfoServiceDestination";
remoteObject.getComputerInfo.addEventListener("result", onResult);
remoteObject.addEventListener("fault", onFault);

The InfoServiceDestination in this example would be configured in both the client-side and server-side remoting-config.xml files:

 <destination id="InfoServiceDestination">
   <properties>
     <source>InfoService</source>
   </properties>
</destination>

Would be nice to have a similar mechanism for PyAMF so newbies coming from a Java/PHP background can quickly get started.
