Hi All:
I love to use the integrated web browser when building J2EE components and modules, however, I think my configuration is currently messed up. This is preventing me from being able to leverage the tool for a new project module. I noticed while building some new web components that when I click a link that opens a new window (a popup) that a new window instance of IE is being opened. This holds true irregardless to what the Window > Web Browser and Windows > Preferences > General > Web Browser settings are configured with. That is, if I set the web browser to be the internal web browser, an IE window is still created. I am perplexed here. Has anyone seen this before? Is this something related to my desktop and not MyEclipse at all? I am running Windows XP Professional, Eclipse 3.2.1, MyEclipse 5.1
This is a serious issue as my application is dependent upon stateful http session management. When I am working from within the IDE with what is apparently, the internal web browser, and then navigate to select a new pop-up, the application ceases to work. This is because the new pop-up is IE and is unaware of the session state contained within the internal web browser.
We currently don’t handle popups gracefully from source pages internally, if you are testing out an app that requires the use of a lot of popups try using your native browser to smooth those transition over.
Also I believe the browser (when the link is clicked with target new) is picking up your platform’s default browser setting and launching IE.
