Host Publisher Hints and Tips

Testing Java

Start the Integrator and open the sample DATE.WBL. This is a very simple Java sample. In the lower left window pane, select the Java Integration Object. In the window pane on the right, look at the box titled Item to Method Call Mapping. You should be able to select the item named System Date with the mouse.

Now, in the upper left window pane, select the System Date Web book and the Date Page Web page. In the window pane on the right, you should see the HTML source of the Web page.

Previewing Web pages

When you are working with Web pages in the Integrator, you can preview them using the menu selection Page/Preview in Browser..., which invokes your default installed browser to view the page.

If you have Microsoft Internet Explorer, or another browser that provides an ActiveX Web browsing control, a Preview tab appears at the bottom of the window. The Preview tab enables you to preview Web pages in the Integrator window.

Click the Preview tab at the bottom, if available, or use the Page/Preview in Browser... menu selection. You should see the Web page with the current system date and time displayed.

Web problems

You might see a popup window with an error message such as

cannot open http://127.0.0.1:8081/HostPublisher/Date/System+Date/Date+Page.

This indicates that your Web browser is attempting to access the Web page using a proxy. This will fail, since the Web page is local (provided by the Integrator itself).

The solution to this problem is to ensure that access to local URLs, and specifically the IP address 127.0.0.1, does not go through a proxy server. Here are configuration instructions for some Web browsers:

Fixing Java problems

Hopefully, Java is working in the Host Publisher. Currently, there are no known configuration problems that prevent Java from working. Therefore, if Java is not working, contact IBM service for help in resolving the problem.
