Cookie Support in DPS

Hi,
We are trying to insert a poll into one of our stacks using a web-content overlay.
The idea is that next to a restaurant review, users can give their own mark to the restaurant (1-5 stars). The only way I can think of to implement something like that is with cookies, but from the limited testing I've done, that doesn't seem to work.
I've only tested this with the content viewer (on the iPad), not in an actual application, not sure if that makes any difference.
Is there a way to use cookies in DPS, and if not, can anyone think or a way around it?
We use V26, by the way
Thanks

Thanks. This is helpful.
However, we want to use Opinion Stage, which is highly cookie based, so can't really change the architechture too much.
Is using cookies not possible at all with DPS?

Adobe AIR for Playbook - Cookies supported?

Adobe AIR for Playbook - Cookies supported?
Following a discussion on - http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Tablet-OS-SDK-for-Adobe-AIR/Cookies-supported/m-p/6 36455
Has anyone here or at Adobe seen this thread to consider if it is an AIR issue?
Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post in.
TIA

Hi SR,
I wanted to let you know that while we typically don't handle Playbook issues on this forum (the RIM forum you linked to is the correct place for these discussions) I have forwarded this question along to the team to see if anyone has encountered this. I'll post more info when I hear back.

Cookie support planned in UIX?

Is it planned to support cookies in UIX?
e.g. read a cookie and in a null eventhandler and write it into page property or versa.
Would be nice e.g. for storing the username in a cookie for login handling ("remember me").
Thanks, Markus
Btw. I know that i can do that in a java eventhandler, but doing it declarative with UIX tags would be nice.

Great to hear :-). We have to use JDev 9.0.3.3 until a stable 9.0.5 production release is out.
So i have to wait for next year to come or some nice person at Oracle will provide a 9.0.3.x backport for UIX 2.2 ;-).
Thanks for reply, Markus

Cookie support in a JSP provider

Hello,
How can I set the cookie from a JSPProvider channel? The standard way (response.addCookie) does not seem to work. I'd say the response wrapper just ignores it.
Regards,
Valera

Hi,
Please check the log files for any errors. Also, If the JSP is on a different webserver, his the domainname added in the (Gateway Management | Manage Gateway profile)"Forwardcookie URL list" and Server Management | Manager server profile |"Cookie domain list".

Cookie support in JWeb Toolkit

Hi,
I have a big problem! I can't find any support for handling
cookies from the JWeb Toolkit for OAS 4.0. I need functionality
to SET and GET cookies in Java.
I have tried writing 'Set-cookie: xxx=yyy' in the HTTP header
with HtmlStream but the page never arrives to the browser, like
if the server halts the page.
One solution is to use the WRB Services but then you must invoke
the WRB services in C and it seems to be a lot of extra work.
Thanks

Are you setting the values in your cookie when you access the page from the portal? I havent used them in a long time, but I'm pretty sure cookies are Domain specific. So if you set in while in one Domain, its not avilable via another. Maybe acessing the page thru the portal puts it in a different Domain?

Cookie support

Would anyone know if Weblogic has a class/method you can call to determine if the
current client supports cookies?

Rich,
There unfortunately isn't a 100% sure mechanism for this. You essentially
have to try to set a cookie and see if it comes back. If you are using
sessions you can try the method:
HttpServletRequest.isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie()
this will tell you if the current session is being maintained using cookies.
This will always return false on the first request in a session (because
that request wouldn't have been accompanied by a session cookie), but should
return a useful value after that.
Cheers!

No, I need to be able to navigate within a page.

Support for iPod with Adobe DPS

Hello:
Is it possible to use DPS on an iPod Touch just like it is an iPhone? Maybe it works but the question goes if Adobe support this device.
Saludos,

For Single Edition, no. Single Edition is iPad only.
For multi-folio viewers, here's info from a help article: "The iPhone 3GS, 4, and 4S models as well as the iPod Touch (Generation 4 and later) are supported for DPS. The iPhone 3G is not supported."

Using script language or CS SDK to work with DPS

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any way to access the overlay creator by script (or even better...the folio producer) via some kind of API...
In other word, is there a way to write code (i'm actually working with CS SDK and extension builder in flash builder to build extensions for CS5.5) that can set video properties (in the overlay creator) of a video frame, or even set automaticly an asset of picture for a slideshow,
And if i want to generate a .folio, can i make it using a script ?
Question is not how, but if it's possible at all for now.
If not, is there any plan to add script support for dps in the future ?
Thanks for your attention.
Lionel

As for overlay creator: it's possible to script not overlay creator, but overlays.
See http://forums.adobe.com/message/3847828 (answer by Eli.Shklovsky)
In short, properties of overlay objects are stored as KEY/VALUE labels, so you can use
insertLabel() to set/modify them and simulate overlay creator panel.
The list of properties can be found by exporting overlay as a snippet and examining XML file

Alexey

DPS Viewer for Android mobiles

Since we launched our publication on the IPAD and the IPhone, we have been receiving alot of requests from customers to launch the publication on android devices.
After doing some survey, most of the requests are coming from people with Samsung S2, Samsung S3, Sumsung Note, and Nexus 4 devices.
I did alot of research in the forum on the best way to publish to android mobiles but all I found was complicated workarounds which does not seem to work properly.
I would like to know what is the best way to target those devices going from my current ipad/iphone renditions. With the increasing popoularity of android mobiles this is becmoing more pressing than ever before.
Would really appriciate a direction, thanks

Thanks Bob, yea I have gone throught the blog post, it says though
"On iOS, all iPad and iPhone devices are supported. On Android, only Large and XLarge tablet devices are supported. Android phones are not supported. DPS viewers do not appear in the Google Play Store of Small and Normal Android devices."
So are devices like Samsung Galaxy SII ( 800x480 ) Samsung SIII 1280x720 , Samsung Note 1280x800, Samsung Note II 1280x720
considered as large or are they considered as android phones ?
Is there in any way a plan to do a simulator to show how would of folio be displayed on different resolution devices ?

Interactive SWF inside DPS

Hello everyone
is it possible to add SWF files inside InDesign CS6 so user can view and interact with the SWF.
thanks in advance

No.
SWF files are not supported in DPS or iOS. (I don't think Jelly Bean has the flash player pre-installed now either, correct me if I'm wrong please)
You should start to look at Edge Animate for your animation etc, or there other HTML animation applications too.
cheers

Does webstart submit cookies in its requests for server resources?

Our authentication system is cookie-based: after the user logs in from a browser, an authentication cookie is sent to the browser. This cookie must accompany every succeeding request to the server, or else access is denied. Browsers handle this automatically.
A logged-in browser gets a .jnlp file, launches javaws. javaws fails on its first request, for the first .jar file named in the .jnlp file. Did javaws fail to submit the cookie that is in the browser's cookie store? Is there any way to get javaws to include this cookie in its http requests? If it doesn't, it can't get any of the resources it needs from the server.
The new 1.5 documentation states that webstart and plugin provide automatic cookie support. But is this only for cookies exchanged between the launched applications and the server? Does/can javaws include cookies in its own server requests?

But is this
only for cookies exchanged between the launched
applications and the server? no.
Does/can javaws include
cookies in its own server requests?yes.
I was doing cookie management in our application before 1.5 Different users need to authenticate with the same application running. When we tried our app on 1.5 this feature stop working. There were two cookie values being put in the request. Mine and then Webstart's. Webstart in 1.5 installs its own CookieHandler. So I had to turn it off using the following code
//remove the cookieHandler installed by JavaWebStart
java.net.CookieHandler cookieHandler = java.net.CookieHandler.getDefault();
if (cookieHandler != null) {
java.net.CookieHandler.setDefault(null);
} If you read the documentation for CookieHandler you will notice that it is a callback for all HttpURLConnection. So every HttpURLConnection will callback to the global CookieHandler.
Just as a warning to all those checking your pre 1.5 JavaWebstart applications on 1.5. If you are doing your own cookie management it may break on 1.5.
So I have a question. Is there a way in the JNLP to specify that JavaWebstart only use cookie management for for cookies exchanged between the launched applications and the server?

Cookie / url rewriting doubt

1) Browser cookie support enabled.
Request first sent & server sets the session ID as cookie in the HTTP response header.
2) Browser sends the cookie back while making the next request to the server. Now the server picks up sessionID cookie and thus the client joins the session.
3)
Response sent with session ID as cookie and not URLencoding since you found that cookie was enabled last time.
4) All of a sudden Browser cookie support disabled.
So what will happen now since for next subsequent request cookie disabled and also url is not rewritten with sessionID in the html response we got from the server. So will that session be lost?
Do we have any protection against this scenarion?

I don't know what will happen. Probably the new request will not participate in the old session. But the chances that somebody will turn off cookies in their browser while accessing your site is extremely small. So if you really need to know, it wouldn't be hard to try it.
