I'm trying to create a simple Flash chat application for educational purposes, but I'm stuck trying to send a policy file from my Java server to the Flash app (after several hours of googling with little luck).
The policy file request reaches the server that sends a harcoded policy
xml back to the app, but the Flash app doesn't seem to react to it at all until it gives me a security sandbox error.
I'm loading the policy file using the following code in the client:
Security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://myhostname:" + PORT);
The server recognizes the request as "<policy-file-request/" and responds by sending the following
xml string to the client:
public static final String POLICY_XML =
"<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>"
+ "<cross-domain-policy>"
+ "<allow-access-from domain=\"*\" to-ports=\"*\" />"
+ "</cross-domain-policy>";
The code used to send it looks like this:
try {
_dataOut.write(PolicyServer.POLICY_XML + (char)0x00);
_dataOut.flush();
System.out.println("Policy sent to client: " + PolicyServer.POLICY_XML);
} catch (Exception e) {
trace(e);
}
Did I mess something up with the
xml or is there something else I might have overlooked?
