RWT Standalone Application fails with Firefox 3.6.13 [message #1004000]

Hi,

I am working on a basic setup for a rwt standalone application. It works - when started with IE8 or Chrome - for both, the entry point class and the web.xml as application entry point. However, I receive an error when accessing the application with firefox 3.6.13.

Environment:
- eclipse IDE: 4.2.1
- target platform: rap-2.0.0-RC1-20130116-1245
- RAP Tools: 2.0.0.20130116-1613

What I did (in case the setup is incorrect):

create a new dynamic web project
open the project's Deployment Assembly and added org.eclipse.rap.rwt_2.0.0.20130116-1245.jarfrom the target platform
implement AbstractEntryPoint as suggested here: [1]
create web.xml as suggested here: [1]
implement ApplicationConfiguration as suggested here: [1]

The error is "Error: Error: Operation "create" on target "w2" of type "null" failed:
k is undefined" - the whole stack trace is attached as output.txt

This happens when the Shell is created. Firebug stops at the error and gives this information: rap-client.js: "e is undefined" (line 129), while apparently something is done with the rwt.theme.ThemeStore.

Regards,
Sebastian

I just realized that the problem is not the internal/external server, but the browser.
The error occurs on Firefox 3.6.13. IE8 and Chrome are working as expected.

To avoid misunderstandings: eclipse uses the IE on my system, which works fine. This led me to the wrong assumption, that running on an external server causes the problem (because I used Firefox for testing the application on the external server). My initial description was based on this assumption.

I have updated the initial post and changed the description.

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

yes, it looks as if there's a missing JavaScript resource. Could you
check the requests with your browser's dev tools (e.g. Firebug or Chrome
Developer Tools) - if there's a missing resource you should find a
request that is not successful, e.g. returns an HTTP 404.

Regards,
Ralf

Hi Ralf,

thanks for looking into this.

A missing resource was my guess, too when I thought the difference is internal vs. external server. However, since I realized that the problem occurs only with Firefox (not with IE and Chrome), it felt like this could not be the problem.

I updated from Firefox 3.6.13 (pretty old, I know) to the latest release (18.0.1). This solves the issue. The error only occurs with the older Firefox release. However, according to the RAP web site, supported Firefox versions are 3.5+ (or will this change with RAP 2.0?)

On the whole, it does not look like my deployment causes the error, but the framework itself. Since 3.6 is a supported version, this should probably be fixed for RAP 2.0 (still assuming that my project setup is correct).

Regards,
Sebastian

We are already working on it:
