Desktop App, like a web browser

I need to develop a reusable (by developers) content delivery desktop app, cross platform. I'm working in a web developer environment. A couple questions:
1. Is there a good browser component for java that will give me full dHTML capabilities? Static content could be stored as XHTML or XML.
2. For some projects, there will be a need for some dynamic data. I saw HSQL, is that my best option? I know SQL.
I guess I'm describing a self contained 2-tier local web server environment. Any ideas?

Can we implement site catalyst for Remote desktop app like MS dynamics NAV?

Can we implement site catalyst for Remote desktop app like MS dynamics NAV?
please throw some insight

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Does this happens for this particular application?
For a test you can publish Notepad\WordPad as RemoteApp and check whether facing same issue. Please check the result and let us know. If it’s working normally then might seems there is some configuration issue with MS Dynamics App.
Does this happens for all user or specific users?
Which version of RDP Client you are using for client system?
Try to install RDP 8.1 for better feature.
Update for RemoteApp and Desktop Connections feature is available for Windows

Hope it helps!

Desktop App as a Web App

Hi!
Just curiousity, is it possible to make an application that
basically made as an AIR (desktop) App be viewed as a Web
Application? (somehow embed into .html and get all its properties,
functionalities).

The difference between an AIR application and a browser
application is very small. Take a look at the Adobe training video
on this subject.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining/?sdid=DYOCT
In particular, the last part of day three. It's quite clear
and you can download the test setup for free. Be careful! I believe
that the Flex Builder configuration info is out of date, because
the paths for installation of LCDS have changed. I found a fix.
My notes, maybe a bit cryptic:
Make sure when you install LCDS, choose the Tomcat option.
This will install the server application.
If you're using the new version LiveCycle Data Services ES
2.6, you'll have to adjust a few things:
When you install LCDS, click the Tomcat option and continue
with the installation.
Instead of unzipping to C:\lcds\jrun4\servers\default.. use
this folder to unzip the server.zip file instead to
C:\lcds\tomcat\webapps\odt
Original adobe forum post:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=60&catid=833&threadid =1387349&enterthread=y
Also, instead of using port 8700, the new version uses 8400.
1. Start the Server: Programs > LiveCycle Data Services ES
2.6 > Start LiveCycle Data Services Server. Allow the server to
start up.
2. Point your browser to
http://localhost:8400/ to test
the start page.
3. Your URL for this example will be
http://localhost:8400/odt/
Flex
I found that in many places you cannot use $(ENV_VARIABLE)
successfully.
Enter the exact string.
c:/lcds/tomcat/webapps/odt - for the training apps
Always, instead of /lcds/jrun4/servers/default/odt, use
/lcds/tomcat/webapps/odt
Start the data base
cd c:/lcds/sampledb
startdb.bat
LCDS local URL
http://localhost:8400/odt/adobeODT-debug/AdobeODT.html

How can I use the "EvalScript()" function? I am trying to send text to a Director app from the web browser, but the console in the browser just responds "Uncaught ReferenceError: evalScript is not defined ".

I am trying to control a Shockwave app form another machine, using "Pusher" service (websockets), and everything is ok so far; but when I try to send the shockwave app the text recieved from another machine, using the "EvalScript()" function (as documented), I only get the message "Uncaught ReferenceError: evalScript is not defined" in the browser's console. What am I doing wrong?
'm using the following script in the webpage where the shockwave object is located:
<script type="text/javascript">
    // Enable pusher logging - don't include this in production
    Pusher.log = function(message) {
      if (window.console && window.console.log) {
        window.console.log(message);
    var pusher = new Pusher('abc963cf3e6g678879e');
    var channel = pusher.subscribe('Galileo_channel');
    channel.bind('Galileo_event', function(data) {
      evalScript(data.message);
alert(data.message);
</script>
The "alert" is working fine, but I can't get JavaScript to recognize the EvalScript (I even tried calling the shockwave object, ie: "extev01.evalScript()", since the object's ID is extev01, but it doesn't work, either).
Help!

Thanks Sean.
I tried your suggestion first, using getNetText to poll the server and read a text file. The drawbak is that I had to poll the server constantly, since I could not know in advance when the text file was going to change (and it's not practical to stump the server and connection).
I've kept trying the EvalScript, asigning the Shockwave object to a variable first, then calling the EvalScript() in the object, but it doesn't work, either. I think I will simply use JavaScript and forget about shockwave altogether, since everything is working fine up to that point (although it would be nice to be able to use Lingo for the rest of the app).

Why can't I install an app using my web browser?

Often I am at a computer where I can't install iTunes and I want to install an app on my iPad which is at home. For my Android devices all I have to do is click a button on a web page to have it installed. Why can't I do this for my Apple devices? At the library, or a friends house, etc - I may find out about a cool new app I want to put on my device - why should I have to wait until I can go home to get my device, or go to a computer where I can install iTunes? Web browsers are available so many more places than iTunes. This sort of user-unfriendly-ness makes me want to move away from my Apple devices.

Apple does not allow that.

RichTech's Atomic Web Browser Missing From The App Store

Can anyone please check and see if they are able to locate and download this alternative browser on their iPad? I'm with a friend and we were trying to load apps on their new iPad and if you click on an outside link or try to search for it you get no results. It's like it's missing from the App store entirely.

Looks like Atomic Web browser was pulled from the App Store due to the use of private APIs in violation of Apple's policy:

Loading jfx app into web browser with preloader (improving load time)

hi,
has anyone made any attempt to construct kind of application preloader, waiting for whole app to load can take long time and default spinning wheel with java cup is not really user friendly.
I was thinking about breaking app in two parts
1)login view
2)rest of the app that will be loaded lazily
but then how to load second jar, what about updates of that second jar. Is there any way to talk to javascript in browser to show something nicer then default applet's preloadder.????
maybe there is a better idea on how to improve loading time of jfx app embedded in web browser, my experience is based on 1.1 version of jfx so now it can be better.
apart from jfx component im planing to use spring ioc and jdbc driver. so it should show something as quick as possible (confirm certificate and show login view) and then (or in the meantime) load rest of the stuff.
any thoughts appreciated
thanks

Have you read the last post of (the prolific ;-) ) Rakesh Menon ;-)

I need an Ipad app web browser that will emulate internet explorer as my MLS real estate system only uses internet explorer. Why is Atomic full version not available in the app store is there another browser that will do this

I need an iPad app web browser that will emulate internet explorer as my MLS real estate system uses only internet explorer. Why does Atomic no longer sell the full verison. What web browser can I use?

Probably none. It's very possible that the reason the MLS required Internet Explorer is that they use technologies (such as Active-X) that are proprietary to Microsoft and so would not be available from the iPad even if a browser will report itself as being Internet Explorer.
You can try iCab Mobile, though, and see if it will work for you:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icab-mobile-web-browser/id308111628?mt=8
It has the ability to identify itself as other browsers, so if the site is only blocking other browsers and not depending on IE's technology, iCab might work. There could be problems, though, even if the site lets you in.
Hope this helps.

Apple Users Can't Get Rid Of The New 'Super Cookies' That Track Private Web Browsing

Further to the article "Apple Users Can't Get Rid Of The New ‘Super Cookies’ That Track Private Web Browsing" https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-users-cant-rid-super-180500863.html, is there a solution to resolve this security issue?
Here's an excerpt from the above mentioned article;
"Apple users are particularly vulnerable, as their devices do not have a function that lets users delete super cookies from their browsers.
Most websites place what’s called a “cookie” on visitors’ computers, which is used to track them and record their preferences. It’s how websites can remember your password, for example. Like your web browsing history, they’re easy to delete. If you use your browser’s “private browsing” mode they’re never saved in the first place — and advertisers can't track you, and other computer users can't go back and see what you looked at.
However, a flaw in a modern web security feature called “HTTP Strict Transport Security” (HSTS) allows websites to plant “super cookies” that can be used to track web users’ browsing habits even when private browsing is enabled.
Here’s how it works.
Security researcher Sam Greenhalgh writes that HSTS “allows a website to indicate that it should aways be accessed using a secure connection that encrypts your communication with the site.” This “flag” is then saved by your web browser, ensuring that any future visits to the website are secure. But this can also be abused, using this feature to store a unique number that can be used to track your web browser.
And because HSTS carries over into private browsing, it means the “super cookie” can be used to track you whether you’re attempting to cover your steps or not.
Greenhalgh says that Apple’s Safari web browser is especially vulnerable to the exploit. While clearing cookies on Mozilla’s Firefox, Google Chrome or Opera also erases HSTS flags, deleting the super cookies, there’s no way to do so on Safari on iOS devices.
This means that if you’ve had super cookies placed on your iPad or iPhone, there’s effectively no way to get rid of them short of reformatting the entire machine."

Hi all,
I tried this with IOS 7.1.2 Safari on an iPad retina and the super cookie did not persist after web data and history was deleted.
I also tried this with IOS 8.1.2 Safari on an iPhone 6, and the super cookie persisted even after deleting web history and website data.
Evidently it was ok on 7.1.2 and broken on 8.1.2.

Web browser navigation

Is there a way to navigate within Adobe Reader like a web browser?
For example, I create user manuals in MS Word; I use Hyperlinks and Bookmarks extensively. When clicking on a link, I can use the Web toolbar within Word to go back to the prior link or links, and forward, etc..
This is very handy when trying to find a particular item in a large document.
Is there something like this in Adobe Reader?
(I use Adobe Acrobat Professional Version 8.1.2 if that helps).
Thanks!

1) Open System Prefrences
2) Click Track Pad
3) Click "More Gestures"
4) Click the down arrow below and to the right of "Swipe Between Pages"

When you access the files, you mean to see the thumbnails for the pictures? If i recall correctly the desktop app does not show thumbnails for pictures.

Lumia 800 Web browser keeps shutting itself

Yesterday I was playing this game Age of Sorcery when it crashed. Since then the game, weather view app and the web browser are all shutting down in few seconds when I try to open any one of them.
I have tried reinstalling the apps, restarting the phone and reseting the phone (soft and hard), but yet nothing has solved the problem.
Also after the reset I tried to reinstall previously purchased apps from windowsphone.com but it says the apps cannot be sent at the moment, try again later. I hope there's a way to get those apps back without buying them again.
Any suggestions?

Ok so let me define that all web browsers and apps based on web browser are crashing. On the other hand, marketplace, zune and nokia music for example are working normally.
No problem in downloading purchased content anymore. Purchases are saved on windows account.

Openning a native web browser on Air desktop app

I have developed an desktop air app with aptana studio.
i want to attach a google adsense banner into my air app.
but i got a problem that air app doesn't open a native webrowser.
How can app open a native web browser when click in iframe?

The iframe seems to load code from a remote location, and thus this code will be in a remote sandbox, not in the application sandbox, for obvious security reasons. This means that the code inside the iframe will net be able to use the air APIs.
If you can control the content from the remote location, you can use the parent sandbox bridge (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7f08. html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7edd) to make a call from inside the iframe to the main application to open the browser window.
Otherwise, I don't think there's a way for content loaded from a remote location to open native browser windows (this would be a security issue).
