Domino Web Pages and Blackberry Bold

I got my new Blackberry Bold this week. It is great. However, there is one problem I that cannot seem to resolve. Web pages from a Domino server that has the home page defined using Internet Site Document will not show up on the Blackberry Bold browser and I get "connection refused." On my old 8700c this was a not problem. If I type in the URL directly, I can display the web page. Has anyone encountered this problem?

Ooooh, now this is a new one. Always interested in finding new things.

OK, heres a few question I need to get to the bottom of this. Do you have Domino logging enabled? If so can you post up the request that the server is receiving for the page? Are you access the server directly or through a proxy? I assume this is the built in browser. Have you tried Opera mini to get to the pages?

I'm trying to determine if it's a server config problem (needs proper config'd site docs for the whole domain, not just the home page) or whether it's a BB Browser issue.

Dragon,

Thanks for your support. The access is direct, there is no proxy. I will have to check with my admin to see if Domino logging is enabled. This is the built-in browser for the Bold. We have four different Web sites on that server all with the same problem. We are wondering if we missed something in the internet site document, though my admin said that there is not much to configure. No, I have not tried the Opera Mini. My 8700c default browser did not have this issue when displaying the web pages from these sites.

There is no reason why the phone should NOT show you the page requested. If there is an error then that error will be shown.

What I suspect is happening here is there might be a slight issue with your Internet Site documents.

Are you allowed to say where the web pages are, so we can have a look at them? Can you post a screen shot of your Internet Site docs? Bit hard to make a diagnosis when the patient doesn't give me the symptoms. :/

If needs be, email them to dragon(at)anime(dot)org(dot)uk.

The iPhora Journey - Part I - Reimagining Domino

Domino, which is currently owned by HCL Technologies, is one of the most enduring application platforms ever built. It owes its existence to Ray Ozzie, who was heavily influenced by his use of the PLATO system, a pioneering interactive/educational network at the University of Illinois. The first version of Domino (then called Lotus Notes) was released in 1989, and Domino applications from 1989 can still run on the newest version (12.01). You can build Domino applications for deployment on the Notes clients, mobile devices, or Web browsers, and for programming and customization, you can use Nodejs, Java, LotusScript, and Formula language, or any combination of them. Regardless of which programming languages are used, a typical application is usually represented by a single Domino database. However, the IT landscape has changed significantly since Domino was a dominant player in the market. The migration to web and mobile applications using cloud-based solutions has led to the steep decl

Creating Composite Applications for Classic Lotus Notes Clients – Part 2

Image
This is part 2 of my creating composite application for classic Lotus Notes clients. In part 2, I will cover how a new event in Lotus Notes 8 can used to simplify the process of creating a composite application. You can download the demo code from the sidebar or download it from here. This new event is "onSelect" and is found in Notes View. This event works not only for regular views but also for embedded views and even embedded views within a dialog box. This event is triggered whenever a document is selected in a view. It hold true even when the view is display for the first time. As a Notes developer, I feel this one single event is more than enough reason to upgrade to at least the Lotus Notes 8 Basic client. It makes a number of UI issues simply go away. Just like in the previous Lotus Notes clients we need to create a launch document in our composite application that will be used to trigger the population of the frames in the composite application. However, rather than

The iPhora Journey - Part 5 - Dammit Jim, I'm a LotusScripter not a JavaScripter

As often said by Dr. McCoy in the original Star Trek series, he is a doctor, not a ____________ .  However, just like Dr. McCoy, you may sometimes need to work on things that seem very alien to your experience.  One of those things, might be JSON. LotusScript, which was derived from Visual Basic, was written long before JSON existed, and therefore, LotusScript had no built-in capabilities for handling JSON objects. As we mentioned in Part 4, JSON plays a critical role in iPhora.  All data are stored as JSON, and JSON serves as the primary data and communication format between modules, functions and services.  All core components operate using JSON-based configurations.  Therefore, it was extremely important that we are able to fluidity create, read and process JSON.   Creating a JSON string is relatively easy in any programming language. You can create it even using Commodore 64 Basic, and if built sequentially, one line at a time, it is possible to create JSON representations of ve
