how would I resolve this error: Unable to contact the RDS server "data services on Tomcat (localhost) connection refused: connect

Question

I'm making a program in flash builder 4.5 using WebOrb 4 (which is fantastic, I might add). When I go to deploy, however, it gives me this error:

>There was an error during model deployment for xxxxProgram.
>
>The server returned the following message:
>
>Unable to contact the RDS Server "Data Services on Tomcat (localhost)."
>
>Connection refused: connect
>
>Do you want to continue launching your Flex application?

I've poked around online for a solution, but for the most part I either don't understand them (forum grammar can be somewhat obtuse) or the answer in the post doesn't apply.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

the message that you received was thrown by the flash builder and the following part is quite confused:

"Unable to contact the RDS Server "Data Services on Tomcat (localhost).""

Most likely, the root of the problem is the incorrect server address in your configuration. The WebORB RDS servlet (you are using WebORB for Java, aren't you?) is mapped to the /rds.wo url, so first of all I would recommend to check if the RDS servlet is up. If so, you should verify is your URL from project settings matched to you actual url where WebORB is running .

Additionally, please have a look on the WebORB plugin documentation step by step just to verify if everything is OK. The documentation is available here

Finally, if you will find nothing, please let me know the version of WebORB that you are using.
