Dynamic remote object url - flex mobile

Question

I almost finished my project but now I want to add a dynamic server url setting in each view. Application bootstraps with config.xml and channels-config.xml (I used Parsley framework ).

config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fx:Object xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
           xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" 
           xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" 
           xmlns:services="services.*">

    <fx:Declarations>
        <services:GenBUS id="genBUS"/>
        <services:KarBUS id="karBUS"/>
        <services:UygBUS id="uygBUS"/>
    </fx:Declarations>

</fx:Object>

channels-config.xml:

<objects 
    xmlns="http://www.spicefactory.org/parsley"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.spicefactory.org/parsley 
        http://www.spicefactory.org/parsley/schema/2.4/parsley-core.xsd">

    <object type="mx.messaging.ChannelSet">
        <property name="channels">
                <array>
                    <object type="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
                        <property name="uri" value="http://localhost:8080/ClinASM/messagebroker/amf"/>
                    </object>
                </array>
        </property>
    </object>

</objects>

The scenario is as follows: User will change url before logging into a system, and when all is done the updated endpoint url will be kept in SessionClientData.endpoint, and before the method on the server-side is called I do assign a new endpoint to Remote Object class:

[Inject(id="genBUS")]
public var genBUS:GenBUS;


public function login(username: String, password:String):void {

 //updating endpoint                
 genBUS.endpoint = SessionClientData.endpoint;

 //call responder is created and..              
 loginViewResponder.token = genBUS.getLoginResult(username,password);

}

But I'm doing something wrong - so that it's not working... Any suggestions how to make a dynamic & easy to construct channels config?

UPDATE: How to reconfigure the structure so that there'll be no "services" remote objects on clients side - I don't want to update Flex Server section each time - as in some cases there will be unreachable servers just as in my case now... Any tutorial or example configuration on this?

What is not working? Are you getting any error messages? Is the endpoint used for the calls correct? ... — RIAstar, Jun 17 '12 at 18:50
I'm entering a wrong url but its working - so it uses different endpoint not the one under genBUS.endpoint — Zaur Guliyev, Jun 17 '12 at 19:05
which endpoint do I need to update in order update services endpoint?! — Zaur Guliyev, Jun 17 '12 at 19:06
Well, it seems `SessionClientData` isn't carrying the correct `endpoint` value then. Did you set a breakpoint there and check it? — RIAstar, Jun 17 '12 at 19:41
And how can I write anything into config.xml file in Flex Mobile? — Zaur Guliyev, Jun 17 '12 at 20:04
i have to update channels-config.xml as well in order it keeps updated SessionClientData.endpoint to bootstrap or use it next time.. — Zaur Guliyev, Jun 17 '12 at 20:36
IS Channels-config.xml something you load at runtime? Or is it compiled into your app? — JeffryHouser, Jun 18 '12 at 00:05
I'm afraid its in a project structure - so its compiled into an app.. — Zaur Guliyev, Jun 18 '12 at 06:34
