Adobe Flex crossdomain.xml

Hi,

I want to create a crossdomain.xml file on my WEB AS ABAP for consuming ABAP web services from Adobe Flex applications.

As I understand it Flex requires the file to reside in the root directory of the server. So I need to have it available via a URL like http://sapserver.mydomain.com/crossdomain.xml.

It seems that the ICF will not allow me to create a new subelement or an External Alias with special characters in it. It seems a dot (.) is a special character. 😔

So I can create the file at http://sapserver.mydomain.com/crossdomain no problems, but I can't create it at http://sapserver.mydomain.com/crossdomain.xml.

Does anyone know of a way around this?

Cheers

Graham
