WebObjects 4.x: Issue Opening Netscape Browser on Windows NT

This article discusses how to resolve an issue opening a Netscape browser when running a WebObjects application.

Symptom

If your default browser is Netscape and you open a WebObjects application with the Netscape browser already open, the browser window comes forward (or maximizes if it was minimized). The window does not become active and the meta refresh URL for the application you opened never gets posted. You have to go into the Launch Panel of Project Builder and cut and paste the URL from there to the browser's URL field.


Solution

There are two solutions depending on how the browser window is opened.

To bring up a new window every time the application runs


To reuse an open browser window every time the application runs
