WebORB 1.2.0 - 09.28.06

• Added support for platform independent path resolution. WebORB now uses DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR
• Added support for user-driven Flex destination source. Flex applications can configure RemoteObject instances to use GenericDestination and set the 'source' field to contain PHP classname as shown below (thanks to Renaun Erickson for figuring out how to do this):
  
       remoteObject = new RemoteObject();
       remoteObject.destination = "GenericDestination";
       // YourPHPClassName.PHP must be deployed in the /Services folder
       remoteObject.source = "YourPHPClassName";
       remoteObject.helloWorld.addEventListener("result", helloWorldResult);
       remoteObject.helloWorld();
   
• Added WebOrbServicesPath constant to simplify service class dependency resolution. Service classes can load other class using the following format:
  
  require_once( WebOrbServicesPath . "foo/bar/MyClass.php");
  // where foo/bar/MyClass.php is deployed into the /Services/foo/bar folder
