Identifying a Flex application root folder
You must specify a valid Flex application root folder when defining a Flex Builder site. Flex

To identify a folder as a Flex application root folder:
•
Look for a WEB-INF/flex/ subfolder with a flex-config.xml file in it.
A Flex application root folder always has a WEB-INF/flex/ subfolder with a flex-config.xml file
in it. For example, if you’re using JRun 4 as the J2EE server, the application root folder is as
follows:
jrun_root/servers/server/Flex_app
where jrun_root is the J2EE server’s root folder, server is the name of a defined JRun server
(such as “default”), and Flex_app is the application root folder. The Flex_app folder must
contain a WEB-INF/flex/ subfolder with a flex-config.xml file in it, as follows:
Flex_app/WEB-INF/flex/flex-config.xml
in it. For example, if you’re using JRun 4 as the J2EE server, the application root folder is as
follows:
jrun_root/servers/server/Flex_app
where jrun_root is the J2EE server’s root folder, server is the name of a defined JRun server
(such as “default”), and Flex_app is the application root folder. The Flex_app folder must
contain a WEB-INF/flex/ subfolder with a flex-config.xml file in it, as follows:
