On contrary to SWT, Browser.setUrl(Str) does not work with local file URLS (file:///C.... ). I need to display a html file generated by jasper reports but the browser does not seem to accept the file:/// url. I have tried all options (e.g. without file: , with \\ etc) and checked all the security issues. The method returns true even if i specify a wrong path. The result is always a blank / nothing page.

I added a location listener which correctly passes the url in the event.

Any ideas?

Hi, you can register the generated file(s) as resources at the
HttpService and then pass a relative URL to the Browser widget.

Regards,
Stefan.

Hi,

file URLs do not work for a good reason. A website is not allowed to
access resources from the client's file system. If you're trying to
access a file on the server, you need to make it available via HTTP, as
Stefan suggested.

Best regards, Ralf
