IIS 7+, 404 error and flex2gateway

[littler...@gmail.com]

This appears a source of frustration based on the posts I've seen with no clear answer I could actually find - so I thought I'd post the answer here.

Providing your connector is setup correctly, so you can run cf pages via IIS, and you know blazeDS is running correctly, so you're getting the expected white screen when going to ..:8888/flex2gateway - but through IIS: .../flex2gateway  - you see a 404 error - then this is for you.

First, create a directory at root: flex2gateway

Next, under Handler Mappings for your site, add a managed handler with a request path of: *flex2gateway* - edit the request restrictions and map to a folder.  The type of your handler should match the *.cfc or *.cfm handler you should already see - so: BonCodeIIS.BonCodeCallHandler....

This ensures that calls to /flex2gateway/ are being mapped correctly.
