[SeasideXUL] Application in apprunner vs firefox

[milan.zimmermann]

Hi Pavel,

I just realized many of my problems when experimenting with seasideXUL last
week were caused by my assumption that an application should run identically
from Firefox and xulrunner...

Using XULLauncher as example: When I start obseasidexul.image, and try to
access it from Firefox 3 (or 2, same behaviour), and click on tools->browser,
the browser is not launched, and in the error console I get:

        operation.getAttribute is not a funtion (line 233 of XULLuncher).

When run from xulrunner or firefox -app application.ini, everything works.

"operation.getAttribute" is in the XULScriptLibrary. I will switch all
experiments to xulrunner, but have a question: To make (for example)
XULLauncher available to firefox, how would I install it to firefox? (which I
assume would make the function available)

Thanks Milan

Hi Milan,

remotre XUL applications (in plain Firefox) have many security restrictions (they cannot open new windows, use rich editors, have some clipboard restrictions etc.). That's why OBSeasideXUL must be started in XULRunner with special application configuration that avoids this limitations.
You can run XULRunner applications in Firefox3 instead of XULRunner but you must use the startup argument -app with path to the application configuration *.ini file. It doesn't work in Firefox2.

Cheers,
-- Pavel

Hi Pavel,

Thanks - There are also a few things that work differently when run from
firefox3 directly (as opposed to using firefox3 -app) that does not appear to
be security but I have to experiment with it more before asking about it.


Thanks and later, Milan
