Subject: Serving ActiveX from Tomcat ?
Hi - Sorry to be asking a dumb question; but, maybe the answer is simple
and
fast and will save me even more hours.
I'm serving a dll from webapps/ROOT to IE. I have added the mime type for
the .dll as application/octet-stream to the server's web.xml (same as
apache's
mime type). The component seems to arrive at IE; but, does not render
visually nor recognize function/parameter access. This has been tested on
4.0.6 and 5.5.17. (also tried a recommended mime type
application/x-msdownload I think it was.)
Its been a long long time since I played with ActiveX.... I actually think
the x-msdownload mime type is right, and this is a guess but I think its
probably the CODEBASE setting in the OBJECT tag that is causing the problem.
I forget the details but it probably has something like codebase = "yourDLL"
in it.... the thing is... thats relative to the page serving it.
So it could be something as silly as codebase = "/yourDLL" will make it
reference properly.
If its working, elsewhere.... I think the problem is there somewhere.
It works fine served from Apache.
Any clues ?
Thanks,
Dick
