Technote (troubleshooting)


Problem(Abstract)

The Rational Rhapsody RCP Browser requires a compatible XULRunner on Linux.

Cause

RCP Browser requires a compatible XULRunner for proper display of HTML content on Linux.

Environment

Mozilla browser running on Linux operating systems

Resolving the problem

1. Download and extract file xulrunner-10.0.4esr.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 from http://ftp.mozilla.org The extraction creates a directory called xulrunner.

2. Create a directory structure called defaults/preferences in the xulrunner folder.

3. In the preferences folder, create a file called prefs.js and add the following line in the file:

    pref("security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy", false); Insert a carriage return after this line.

4. Make the following flag updates to the Rational Rhapsody .INI file:
    a. JVM::JavaLocation flag must point to a valid Java JRE folder.

    b. General::APPLICATION_ROOT must point to your installation directory, for example:
      [General]
      APPLICATION_ROOT=/disk1/users1/userjomy/Desktop/Install_8001

    c. General::XULRunnerPath must point to the path of your XULRunner installation directory, for example:
      [General]
      XULRunnerPath=/disk1/users1/userjomy/Desktop/xulrunner
