JBoss, Tomcat & ActiveX

[achitre]

Hello,

I am porting an application from Weblogic to JBoss. There's a feature that used to work under Weblogic, but now it's not working under JBoss. Any help in resolving this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Here's the problem:

We have a JSP that embeds a 'Visio Viewer' object as follows:

<object classid="clsid:279D6C9A-652E-4833-BEFC-312CA8887857"
 id="Viewer1" width="90%" height="90%" codebase="/common/visio/vviewer.exe" >

 <param name="SRC" value="<%=absDwnUrl%>">
 <param name="BackColor" value="16777215">
 <param name="PageVisible" value="1">

</object>

Under JBoss the URL specified by 'SRC' attribute is not getting hit. As such we get an error message saying 'The file is not a valid visio file'.

When I copy & paste the URL in another browser window it hits JBoss.

But from within an ActiveX control it doesn't work. Is this a security issue either in JBoss or Tomcat?

Please help. Thanks.

I fixed this issue. The problem was that, my URL contained query parameters. When I removed them, the request started coming in to JBoss.

I guess the reasoning is that, if I have query parameters JBoss treats that as a GET request; otherwise it treats that as a POST request.

Seems like Weblogic doesn't care.

Anyway, thought I should share this info. Thanks.
