Hi Jan,

the good news is that I think we got a better understanding on this question, the bad news is we only can offer a workaround, not an elegant solution.

The problem is that Firefox and obviously Konqueror too object to load external <header> <script> Elements within an XMLHttpRequest. If those elements are stated in the header of the 'original' html page its no problem.
See:
http://www.nabble.com/ajax-with-external-javascripts-tf4650719.html#a13287137
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-contributing-to-header-%28was%3A-Must-renderHead-even-if-setVisible%28false%29%29-tf4193674.html#a11928113
Actually I haven't checked if Firefox executes that XMLHttpRequest when it points to an 'already known' resource or if that request is filtered somewhere along the wicket toolchain.

The second thread seems to talk about a solution on this on wicket side. Afaikt nothing has made its way into the code yet.

Up till then I could offer the solution to add the needed scripting tags to html page beforehand. This can be done by adding a GMapHeaderContributor. Sven updated ManyPages source code for an example of that. The GMapHeaderContributor doesnt have to be added to the page, its sufficient to add it to the component that might get an GMap2 added later on. That's what I mean by workaround. I can't think of an mechanism that would add the HeaderContribution automatically. The developer has to decide explicitly.

Have fun,

Martin

Great, thanks!

Jan

Hi Jan,

not sure if Sven or I can come up with something tonight,
but it won't be forgotten.

Some more information after looking further into this - it looks like
I'm
seeing the same problem as mentioned in this thread:
http://www.nabble.com/Google-Maps-and-AJAX-tf4591408.html

It only occurs when a Google Map is added via an AJAX request to a page
that
previously had no Google maps on it.

It's easy to reproduce the same problem in the "Many" example in
wicket-contrib-gmap2-examples, by commenting out the call to addPanel()
at
the end of the ManyPage constructor, line 42 in ManyPage.java.  Normally
this example starts with a single Google map on the page and adds more
when
the user clicks an AjaxFallbackLink.  When this line is commented out,
the
page starts up with no maps on it, and will fail to add more when the
user
clicks the link.

In Firefox, the error is an "uncaught exception: Permission denied to
call
method XMLHttpRequest.open", but this is only visible when I have the
Firebug debugger enabled.  The Ajax link stops working after this error
happens.

In Konqueror, it shows up as a JavaScript error with code 304, and
renders
the rest of the page, but the maps aren't drawn, presumably because the
XmlHttpRequests are blocked here as well.  Subsequent Ajax requests work
OK
here though.

Is this a bug in the gmap2 component that could be addressed?

Regards,
Jan

I've just started playing with wicket-contrib-gmap2 but I'm having a
bit
of a problem:

When I try to create a simple map inside my Wicket application, I get
an
exception in Firefox saying:
  "uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method
XMLHttpRequest.open"

I've had a look at issues surrounding security restrictions in
Javascript
and I understand that Firefox will block XMLHttpRequests to hosts other
than
where the page came from.  I've also seen a few workarounds such as
running
proxies for the XML-HTTP requests.  Does gmap2 deal with these issues
in any
way?  I suspect I'm missing something, as when I run the gmap2 examples
in a
local Tomcat, everything works fine...

One additional question: after I get the above JavaScript exception,
the
other AJAX controls on the same page seem to stop working as well - is
this
something that Wicket ought to be handling better?  (I'm running Wicket
1.3 beta 4, with the head version of gmap2 built against this).

Jan
