I’ve been working a bit with LCDS, and have had a few issues that I would like to share, so that you may save some of the time I’ve wasted goofing around

First off. If you want to run you LCDS on a windows machine, but as a service ( meaning that the server keeps running after you log off the system; the case for server setups ) there is a service.bat file in the \lcds\tomcat\bin, you can use to install a LCDS service on your system. Usage is: “service install [service name]” where you obviously replace the [service name] with a name of your choosing.

That service can then be started in the service config, or just set to automatic.

Second. If you wish to develop against a server other than localhost, you just type in that server info, in the initial project server configuration page.

In my case an example is:

This however requires for you to have set sharing for the folder containing the project on the particular server.

Secondly, in order for flash builder to be able to publish the datamodel to your server you need to set the JDBC Datasource in the general properties for the model. In my case the string is: java:/comp/env/jdbc/jukebox. The connection string can be found here:

I hope this helps those of you who wish to do development of LCDS applications on another machine than localhost.
