Hi,
can anybody confirm that the RAP Interface (Scout 3.9) is not working with the new Firefox 29? The browser stops at the loading screen. I can still use the app with Chrome, IE and FF 27.

Kind regards,
Nils

Hi,

I have two Eclipse RAP version 1.5 (not Eclipse Scout) applications in production. These indeed do not work anymore with the latest Firefox update. If you take a look at

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=433179

it explains the problem and has a fix for it.

Regards Bertin

Hi Nils,
I aggree, Firefox 29 isn't working.

The Eclipse RAP-Team has fixed the issue in RAP 2.3. Basically you have two options to fix the issue:

1) The first possibility would be to migrate your project to the latest Scout version.

2) You can do the quickfix as described by the RAP team: https://wiki.eclipse.org/RAP/FAQ#Blank_page_or_client_crash_in_Firefox_29.2B
In order to do so, open the bundle which ends with

<your-project>.ui.rap

Open the file

web-resources/startup-body.html

and insert the following string

 <script type="text/javascript">(function(){try{var e=navigator.userAgent;if(e.indexOf("like Gecko")===-1&&e.indexOf("Gecko/")!==-1){if(!window.controllers){window.controllers={}}if(!navigator.product){navigator.product="Gecko"}}}catch(t){}})()</script>

After that the client should start as expected.

Let us know if it works in your case.

Best regards,
Matthias
