Hi Sandor

Just updated from rc2 to rc3 but now cannot connect with WebClient.

Edit/Prefs/Services shows that HttpServices is not running. Htttp, Data Service IP etc are all unchanged from rc2 which was running WebClient just a few minutes ago :?

Any suggestions?

Same issue here.
I also tried to switch off http service, restart and switch it back on but with no success.

Hi guys,

Is this using localhost and/or triggering a connect from the icon in the developer toolbar ?

Graham, I’ve just connected remotely to your server and opened a web client using SG and Chad so the server seems to support the remote access which is why I wonder whether you and Nicola are going in local ?

Cheers
Harry

p.s. Skyped you back earlier :-)

Hi Harry

Yes, testing using localhost. Also trying to test with Parallels/WinXP using http://192.168.1.12:8080/servoy-webclient.

Was working earlier in rc2 - new feature must be ‘stealth’ mode

Not working for me either???
RC4?

I click on the HttpService test button in the preference pane and see the following immediate error:

The tabpanels seem to have refresh problem in the webclient

With the sample CRM solution for example frm_nav_buttons or other forms in tabpanels are not always refreshed

It the same thing in my solutions with many tabpanels and the treeview bean is not refreshed

I have tested webclient (3.5b2) with Safari (3). It gives me freezes all over the place.
For instance, navigating with the default navigator from record 1 to 2 is all I can do.
After that fun is over…

10

Web server works like a charm for us so I suppose there must be something funny going on with a specific Java version or OS.
What exact Java version are you guys running and on what OS?

11

Java 1.5, OS X, Safari 3.

Firefox is ok…

Hi,

We included a minor upgrade of the embedded tomcat webserver in rc3.
This appears to trigger a problem on the mac for the web client.

I got the web client working on the mac by including an option to the startup:

java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar servoy_developer.jar

Safari freezing WebClient after 2-3 selections has been an issue from last few releases of 3.5 - same behavior on OSX and Windows versions so guess it’s something special the Safari team included.

Rob

Thanks for this tweak

erdione:

Confirmed. We’ll look into that.

15

Rob,

Yes got the webclient working from the command line.

This issue of the cursor jumping when typing into fields within modal weblient windows is still an issue, as is deleting within in them.

The cursor seems to jump to the end of the text randomly and when deleting it jumps out of the dialogue and triggers a browser back button press.

I am sure the team are working hard. Is this an error you have reproduced, or is it worth creating a small demo?

Could the fact that Apple recently changed something on the WebKit technology be the reason why the webclient won’t start?

17

Hi Remon,

WebKit has nothing to do with other services like the java webstart or the embedded Tomcat server in Servoy. Unless they of course use WebKit which is not the case with Servoy.

As Rob Gansevles already noted in this thread that they made a change in the embedded Tomcat webserver and that you can fix it (in the mean time) by launching Developer with the following options:

java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar servoy_developer.jar

Hope this clear things up.

18

I think the freeze of Safari is due to Safari and not Servoy, we can read all over internet that this version is the worth beta software apple ever done…
Even if you use Safari as a “standard” web browser it freeze all the time.

I realize we are somewhat pre-release on documentation. I am trying to use the new addFoundSetFilterParam to filter on a set of tables.

Some of my tables are “global” in nature and in use by several companies - I do not need to have these filtered except through the usual db node or .relation or search techniques.

Others form a set of tables that are shared by several companies. Typically, these will share a common database instance and separate connection string through DB Server (App Preferences) entries.

My shared records need to be filtered on a surrogate foreign key, type integer (INT4).

If I call addFoundSetFilterParam, will I filter the foundset:

a) Permanently, regarding of what is going on elsewhere in Search/Find activities?

b) Permanently, regardless of what else is going on in the DB node (I am less certain about this happening here than question a) … )

c) Can I call addFoundSetFilterParam with a NULL or other parameter to cancel the “permanent” setting on the foundset filter? In other words, how long is this parameter “permanent”? Session duration? Other?

Thanks,

Michael

ps: I have noted the sample code in the Servoy Method Editor:

//Add a filter parameter to limit the foundset permanently
var success = foundset.addFoundSetFilterParam(‘customerid’, ‘=’, ‘BLONP’);//possible to add multiple
foundset.loadAllRecords();//to make param(s) effective

I can no more start the smart client in development :?:

That was running in rc2.
