<URGENT> GWT application problem how to solve

karthikjai

The dev environment I have at the moment requires me to run webserver(tomcat) and lightstreamer on the same box. I am in the process of writing a GWT application which gets realtime updates via Lightstreamer.

After going thru suggestions on many threads here my hosts.txt is as follows

10.12.166.65 mysite.com
10.12.166.65 web.mysite.com
10.12.166.65 lightstreamer.mysite.com

My machine ip address in 10.12.166.65 and in MyComputer-->properties the computer name is XYZ123456.rl.yourcompany.com and domain is rl.yourcompany.com

The lsconfig.properties file is as follows :

domain=mysite.com
host=web.mysite.com
port=8082
..............
....

I access my GWT application in firefox 4 & internet explorer 8 using the url http://mysite.com:8080/MyTest

In the lightstreamer console the following is displayed :

01.Apr.11 12:51:13,086 < INFO> Serving request: /lightstreamer/control.js --> LS
_session=S8af91f62e8f22201T5112836&LS_table=0&LS_win_phase=7&LS_op=add&LS_req_ph
ase=374&LS_mode=RAW&LS_id=mode&LS_schema=count&LS_unique=1& from 127.0.0.1:1247
01.Apr.11 12:51:13,086 < INFO> Controlling session: S8af91f62e8f22201T5112836 fr
om 127.0.0.1:1247

But both Internet Explorer and Firefox status bars don't the usual connected message.

The callback onMessage does not fire in Internet Explorer. But in Firefox the onMessage method in the client side gets fired , the first line in the onMessage method is an Window.alert which causes the following error

The page at http://mysite.com:9090 says
Error :Smile_Ae: ermission denied for <http://mysite.com:9090> to call method Window.alert

Is there a way i can run lightstreamer and webserver on the same box and get things to work?

hi,
your setup looks correct, actually it is correct because if you see the control.js request on the server that means that a session was actually established.
[please note that the host field in the lsconfig.properties file of our GWT demo should point to the Lightstreamer server host; as in your case both hosts point to the same server this does not make any difference, but I suggest you to fix this]

But both Internet Explorer and Firefox status bars don't the usual connected message.

Actually the status bar of a browser can be modified only under certain circumnstances and it is automatically modified by the library only if no onStatusChange is defined on the javascript code.
If you're starting from our demo code then the status bar is not modified but a status indicator is shown by the demo code in the top-left corner of the page (see http://app.lightstreamer.com/GWT_StockListDemo_Basic/ )

I access my GWT application in firefox 4 & internet explorer 8 using the url http://mysite.com:8080/MyTest

as per the notes on the setDomain call you should access your page as http://web.mysite.com:8080/MyTest

Error :Smile_Ae: ermission denied for <http://mysite.com:9090> to call method Window.alert

what's the onMessage callback? It seems to me that is not from our demo so that I'm not sure what you're referring about.
Anyway, were you able to run our GWT demo as is?

Hi Mone,
Thanks for the quick response. I made all the suggested changes and was not able to still get my code to run.

So I decided to try the GWTDemo you had pointed me to and it runs fine from your hosted environment(http://app.lightstreamer.com/GWT_StockListDemo_Basic/).

I then tried to download and run it locally in my workstation..my hosts file remained the same as before and lsconfig.properties was changed accordingly..

But this time I was unable to establish even a session to Light streamer(there is nothing in the console) all that i get is a error in Internet Explorer

And in Firefox the same error.. but i was able to see the line which causes the problem..if its of any help to you..

function Xj(a){if(a.j){throw new tk(et)}a.j=new $wnd.PushPage;a.o!=null&&Qj(a);Pj(a)}

Not to sure what I did.. but the demo stock list app now runs on my workstation.. sorry about the last post. I will now need to investigate why my app did not run.. will post again if I discover something..

I noticed the difference between the .gwt.xml file in the Demo GWT Stock application and my app , I was missing the <add-linker name="xs" /> entry. Added this entry and it works fine.

Thanks Mone for the help.

I'm glad you solved :Smile_Ab:
