Update

I’ve resolved the issue described in this article and wrote a tutorial based on my research:
Tutorial: Flex and ColdFusion Communication via Event Gateways

Problem

I’ve run into a snag getting ColdFusion to send messages to a destination set up for Flex Messaging. I’ve gone through all the tutorials and set up an event gateway in my local admin using the FlexMessaging type…

but any attempt to send a message to it….

x = structNew();
x.body = "hello world";
x.destination = "ColdFusionGateway";
sendGatewayMessage("test", x);

results in the following message…

Unable to find the Flex adapter for destination ColdFusionGateway
 in the RMI registry on localhost:1099.

The Flex adapter may not be running or the destination may be incorrect.

The error occurred in C:\ColdFusion8\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\webapps\test\scribble.cfm: line 24

22 : x.body = "hello world";
23 : x.destination = "ColdFusionGateway";
24 : sendGatewayMessage("test", x);
25 :
26 :</cfscript>

I have modified my ColdFusion server to run BlazeDS, and I’m hoping that is not the issue. I’ll perform a clean installation and see if it works that way. The strangest thing about this is that when I send a message from a Flex client to the same destination, it finds the adapter just fine (this is all set up on a ColdFusion application server) so the fact that FMS works, but ColdFusion Event Gateways don’t is troubling.
