I'm an expert using FMS Flash Media Server and I understand BlazeDS but Granite Data Services is beyond plug-n-play. First, what is the stack and why is it hard to figure out? Tide, EJB, Gravity, Pojo, Seam, Spring, Guice, etc.. I have Glassfish v3 installed on my Windows PC along with MySQL and I want to create a Flex 3 application that uses GraniteDS 2.0.x with consumer and publisher, possibly along with Cairngorm Enterprise and no, I do not want an example, I want steps. I'm using Eclipse with Flex 3 plugin, and I don't want to use Maven or Gas3. 1. How do I get GDS installed on the Glassfish server so that I have a gateway (http://xxxxxx/graniteamf/amf), what files, how and where to put them, etc.. 2. Do I use Gravity? Tide? EJB? etc.. 3. What are all of the configuration pieces and minimum params? I'll take anything I can get to work locally that touches GDS for real time data services with push. I've read everything I can online including the GDS web site and can not find a clear concise simple step by step tutorial or documentation. And if I ever figure it out I will certainly write a tutorial for my blog; sadly it'll be the only clear tutorial available. So if anyone can tell, show, or point me to the right location, thank you. And I have to warn you, for over 2 weeks now I have tried everything I can find with no success. Please help.

Simply put, when it comes to business applications, businesses still don't want to buy a Flash solution. Adobe should catch this wave created by the Flex craze and call it just that, Flex.

I didn't document exactly what file types or views caused it but I did find the solution for me. I also noticed that searching for the solution others had the same problem but with a different class or file type that couldn't cast to an ICF document (whatever that means - class type casting I guess). So to fix it, open your file explorer and find the Eclipse plugin directory and delete older versions of the cfeclipse plugin manually. There will be something like version 1.0x and a version 1.3x etc. Only keep the newest version. Restart eclipse and see if that don't fix it for you too. Let me know if it doesn't. Update: Try this also: Help->Software Updates->Manage Configuration, open the Flex Builder 3 node and make sure, or enable the Flex Builder core feature.
