Summary: Windows Error message when parsing

Initial Comment:
When a file or url is parsed (using 
FantasyFootballSportsModule-0.0.1-alpha1-dev-
200210211904 and before) under Winows an error 
message is displayed, for example :

Problem with shortcut:

Unable to 
open "http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport/hi/english/static/footba
ll/statistics/teams/a/aston_villa/live_hi.stm"

or

Problem with shortcut:

Unale to open file "/C:/Fanfoot/ARS v SUN.htm"

However, this does not appear to affect the running of 
the program itself as the file/url is successfully parsed 
anyway.

I have inspected the code and can see no logical reason for this bug 
happening. I suspect that it may have something to do with the length 
of the URL. Can you test this for me by typing in a shorter URL in the 
dialog box and clicking OK.

Does it work or not?  If it doesn;t work please provide the output you 
see in the DOS box.

This is useful information, it tells me exactly where the problem is. It 
seems that there is a slight different in the way the URL is being 
returned from the dialog boxes used to select a local file or remote URL 
and the way the debug menu (or test code) has the URLs hard coded. I 
will take a look at this ASAP as with this additional info I think the fix 
should be fairly obvious once I inpect the code.

Thanks

More info :

The Debug "Parse BBC Test 1" test file does not produce this
error under Windows XP - the url is parsed correctly and the
page itself  is opened in the default internet browser. The
problem is only demoinstrated on other files, either "live"
url's or files saved locally. The url/file is parsed
correctly, but the page is not loaded into the default
browser. This may still be a problem with XP, but since the
Debug test file works it may also be fixable in the module
files. Any ideas?

In that case it's a problem with windows XP. This works fine on Windows 
NT and on Linux (it hasn;t been tested on other platforms that I am aware 
of). Furthermore, I use Mozilla as my browser.

However, the fact that the test you ran works confuses me, there must be a 
subtle difference between the test code and the real code. I just haven't 
looked into it yet.

I don't think it's a problem with IE. To test I downloaded
Mozilla Phoenix and have made it my default browser. Error
still occurs.

Hmmmm.... interesting.

This bug is not present on other versions of WIndows and the test you just 
ran uses exactly the same code to display the URL. I think this is a strange 
one to do with XP and/or IE 6. 

I will do some more investigation into this.

Managed to get it to do what you wanted. Here's the output 
from the command :

C:\fanfoot-dev\FantasyFootballSportsModule-0.0.1-alpha1-dev-
200210211904>java -cp ./lib/saafe-commons-0.1.0-alpha-dev-
200210171832.jar org.saafe.utils.BrowserControl

INFO: Instruct native browser to display url 
http://www.javaworld.com

C:\fanfoot-dev\FantasyFootballSportsModule-0.0.1-alpha1-dev-
200210211904>

When run IE6 is launched (if not already open) and 
http://www.javaworld.com is displayed. There are no error 
messages.

CD to the directory where you installed the last fanfoot
release.

type the command:

java -cp ./lib/saafe-commons-0.1.0-alpha-dev-200210171832.jar 
org.saafe.utils.BrowserControl

This is one command not two (the linewrapping in SF has
forced it onto two lines).

Furthermore, in the dump of the output of your last attempt
you have a space between the c and the p in -cp (unless this
is a wrapping problem as well.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking me to do here. Did you 
just want me to run the text as a command ithout the app 
open, because that's what I did. The output is shown above.

No other errors shown and no browser activity, using 
Windows XP and IE 6.

Can you please try running the following command (from the install 
directory):

java -cp ./lib/saafe-commons-0.1.0-alpha-dev-200210171832.jar 
org.saafe.utils.BrowserControl

What is the output in your command window?

Does the browser do anything or do you get the error above?

What version of WIndows are you using?

What version of IE are you using?

When asked to parse a file (or URL) the system should tell
the native browser to display the fpage. This is to ease
verification of the calculated scores. It seems there is a
problem with the native parser control.

This bug does not appear on Linux.
