I get intermittent problems with dialogs freezing Webclient--sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. In our Webclient applications, we've found we can eliminate this problem by opening modal dialogs in new threads. We just wrap the code that displays the dialog in a thread and run it. Our theory is that by showing a modal dialog inside the Mozilla event thread, it can cause it to hang. I believe the dialog you had a problem with is displayed by callbacks to the Webclient's prompting API. You can see the sample application's displaying of this by looking at the code around line 974 in this file: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/java/webclient/classes_spec/org/mozilla/webclient/test/EMWindow.java. Unfortunately, that won't fix the sample application unless you modify it and recompile, but that's one workaround.I can load and navigate round links but I have problems pressing any buttons.
I get the popup message "The information you have entered is to be sent over
an unencrypted connection....."
The screen appears to have just hung at this point. I can't interact with
the popup or with the test browser after this point.
A potentially relevant bug for this is at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50766, but I have yet to hear an offical explanation from the developers.
By the way, it is not clear which newsgroup is the appropriate one to use for Webclient questions. In addition to this one, there is netscape.public.mozilla.java. Is there anyone who knows which of the two groups is best for Webclient issues?
