Here is the content of my Spring applicationConfig.xml:

Code:
<flex:message-broker>
    <flex:message-service default-adapter-id="BlazeDsServicePushAdapter"
      default-channels="my-amf-longpoll" />
</flex:message-broker>
	
<bean id="defaultMessageTemplate" class="org.springframework.flex.messaging.MessageTemplate" />
	
<flex:message-destination id="BlazeDsServicePush2" channels="my-amf-longpoll" />
For some reason, messages sent (using template.send()) to the destination BlazeDsServicePush2 are not being recieved by flex, and I suspect there is a conflict with the existing flex messaging-config.xml file.

When I remove the messaging-config.xml file, the following exception is throw. The question is, how does one tell Spring NOT to use or refer to messaging-config.xml. Thanks!
