I've been using Flex Builder 3 to create Flex applications that are part of larger Flex / Java project using LiveCycle Data Services. Flex Builder creates and deploys the .war file, which is convenient for the development cycle, but I don't understand what the .war file has to contain in order to deploy and run.
I've found through trial and error that changing certain properties of the Flex Project (i.e. the Context Root) can break or fix the application, and somehow those settings make it into the .war file.
I need to get the entire build process implemented under Ant, and more importantly, I need to understand what the Flex part of the project depends on. I haven't been able to find any documentation that describes what a .war file has to include to deploy a Flex / Java application, however.
For example, Flex Builder creates a web.xml file and populates it with the correct tags. but if I add other features do I need additional tags in web.xml?
Does anyone know where I can find documentation on the .war file contents for a Flex / Java project?
