this is the code of the page:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function OpenOutlookDoc()
{
try
{
var outlookApp = new ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application");
var nameSpace = outlookApp.getNameSpace("MAPI");
mailFolder = nameSpace.getDefaultFolder(6);
mailItem = mailFolder.Items.add('IPM.Note.FormA');
mailItem.Subject="a subject test";
mailItem.To = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
mailItem.HTMLBody = "<b>bold</b>";
mailItem.display (0);
}
catch(e)
{
alert(e);
// act on any error that you get
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" value="click" onclick="OpenOutlookDoc()"/>
</body>
</html>
now, if u have outlook instaled, it should work. if u run the file
locally(right click open with IE) it should work. leave it unedited and move it
in a tomcat project and run it using localhost:8080/projectname/... and it will
alert you the exception. You might be right, it might not be a tomcat related
issue, but so far, I am using same browser, same code, and under tomcat it
doesn't work for some reason.....so my first thought is that it might have
something to do with tomcat. anyway, 10x for the reply. About the Object error
, this is the only alert I get. I don't know if there is a way to print a stack
trace in javascript. In my try catch block I just put an alert(exception) in
case I get any and all I get is [Object error].
10x in advance

First of all, this is entirely client side stuff, so it should not make any
difference if it is deployed on Tomcat, Apache, WebSphere or IIS. In this
script, there is no interaction with the server, whatsoever, so, it is not
Tomcat related in any way.
You should give us more info on the "Object error" you're getting, but I must
warn you - your problems are IE related and have nothing to do with TC, so you
may get help, but then again, you may not.
Nix.
