Description
ifaces apps aren't functioning correctly through iframes.
"Hello everybody,
first congrats to ice faces. We're using ADF Faces atm but some of the
components are quite impressive, so I'll take a closer look the next few weeks
^_^ I love those pop-ups, really :-)
I noticed an interesting glitch in ice faces that happens only in internet
explorer and only if the ice faces site is displayed in an iframe.
Create a html with the following content:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>
IFrame Test
</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://component-showcase.icefaces.org/component-showcase/"
target="test">Show test</a><br>
<a href="http://www.google.de" target="test">Google</a><br>
<iframe src="http://www.icefaces.org" width="800" height="600" name="test">
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
If you open the file in a new internet explorer and click "Show test" the
component suite showcase is displayed. Everyon any item results in the status
monitor going active and then broken after about half a minute.
I could solve this by clicking the other link and then the original one.
Everything works fine then.
I could reproduce this error on several machines, but only in internet explorer
- no problem in firefox (of course?).
Any ideas?
Keep up the great work!
Greetz,
Mathias"

I commited a fix but I need somebody with a Windows machine to verify if the issue is gone.
Tested with IE7.
Component Showcase shows up but when you click a link the monitor spins for a little bit then displays the warning icon then the error icon. Clicking a link in the Google area does work as it should.
When the iframe and the included web-application are served from different domains IE will block the web-application from setting any cookies ("third-party cookies" how they call them). An icon in IE's status bar will show the blocked cookies.
This issue can be fixed changing the IE's privacy level (Tools>Intenet Options>Privacy>Accept All Cookies) or serve the iframe and the web-application from the same domain.
I guess another solution would be to have a P3P descriptor. See http://www.oreillynet.com/lpt/a/2766 .
A no-cookie mode could also solve the problem.
Have you thinks about it ?
This will be very useful for making icefaces-based web-widgets, i.e. iGoogle gadgets.
Thanks,
Not sure what the root cause is, but being able to display ICEfaces applications within an iframe is important: it's one of the strategies we recommend for integrating with PHP or static web pages, for example.
