Hello,

I am using Authentic 2012 Browser plugin, both for Firefox and Internet Explorer. I test the Browser-Independent example (http://manual.altova.com/authenticbrowser/index.html?abauthenticbrowser.htm)
and seems to work fine both for FireFox and Explorer.

In this case I load the xml by using a static url. For example :
objPlugIn.XMLDataLoadObject.URL=
http://139.91.183.3:8080/synthesis_demo/Person31.xml

Then I tried to load the xml file from a database by using a servlet (FetchXMLFile):
objPlugIn.XMLDataLoadObject.URL=
http://139.91.183.3:8080/synthesis_demo/FetchXMLFile?type=Person&depository=database&file=Person31.xml

but this only works in Internet Explorer. I have test the servlet and works (gets the xml file).

Is there any problem with objPlugin , Firefox and
servlets ?
Any idea what might be the problem ?



Looking forward to your answer.

Thanks in advance.

I can only guess, but this might be a problem with your rights in accessing database. Internet Explorer often transfers user-identity information automatically which FireFox doesn't

Hi,

I have tested the servlet in Firefox and it works, so I guess this is not a problem with the rights.
Do you have any idea what else may cause this problem?

Thanks in advance

I have exactly the same problem.

Loading external xml files in sps using servlets in IE works fine, while same servlets and code do not work in Firefox.

Hello,

I recheck the aforementioned question and I realised that the problem
did not occur due to the servlet. I find out that in Firefox, every time a new window or
tab opens the current session is lost and so my servlet does not have the necessary credentials, so the user is redirected to the login page.
Do you have any idea what cause this problem? Usually, in Firefox the session is not lost every time a new window is open. Is this a problem of the plugin?
In IE the session is not lost, so everything works fine.

Thanks in advamce.

Looking forward to your answer.

Hello,

I realized that the aforementioned problem with Firefox does not occur when a new window or tab opens but when I try to load an XML document (objPlugIn.XMLDataLoadObject.URL). When this command is executed, I loose the session. This problem does not occur when I use IE.
Do you have any idea what causes this problem?

Looking forward to your answer.

Thanks in advance.

I know that I just joined but I have to comment on this.

I have found Firefox to have several benefits but many drawbacks. I use add-ons just temporarily and then delete them, I have had many Firefox problems that are because of a few of their add-ons.

Just my observation.
