Test the application
To test the sample application, you must set up the testing environment, run the Flex
application, and then view your e-mail client to ensure that the application sent the e-mail
message successfully.
Set up the testing environment
Before testing the sample application, do the following:
■ Ensure that Flex Data Services 2 is running.
■ Ensure that ColdFusion is running.
■ Start the Flex2CF2 Flex Event Gateway instance.
To start the Flex2CF2 Flex Event Gateway instance:
1. Start the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
2. Select Event Gateways >Gateway Instances.
3. Click the Start button next to the Flex2CF2 gateway instance.
TIP
To make debugging easier, you may want to start ColdFusion in a console by going to
the CFusionMX7\bin directory and entering
cfstart.
