UnsupportedOperationException and bug with external xref in Webapp

[aleh.haidash]

Hello. I use Oxygen Webapp 18.0.0.6. I have 2 problems with using our app. Can you help me with resolving this problems?
1) I insered object element in the topic

Code: Select all

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/                 flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" data="onlytothegoodpeople1.swf" height="400" id="eim" width="500">

                <desc>Some great, glorious info</desc>

                <param name="movie" value="onlytothegoodpeople1.swf"/>

                <param name="quality" value="high"/>

                <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>

                <param name="pluginspace" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"/>

Then I try click on this element in author mode, but I have exception

Couldn't execute operation: 'ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.OpenInSystemAppOperation' for action: 'Play media resource' because of: class java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - null

How can I override this action?

2) I have xref element with external link

<xref format="html" href="http://test.com/" scope="external"/>

But in author mode it display like
and doesn't work click on this link.
How can I fix it?

Thanks.

Hello,

As context, we are preparing to release a new version of Web Author next week. We already have a preview available on our website, so you can try it at: https://www.oxygenxml.com/webapp-demo-aws/. I will describe below the status of your issues in the latest release.

1. The "OpenInSystemAppOperation" action was implemented in the latest version of Web Author. We also render video and object elements as an embedded video element. However, this seems not to be ideal since the video element in browsers does not support "swf" videos. I added an internal issue about this. However, you can still configure Web Author (by modifying some CSS files) to display the "Play" button in Author mode like in 18.0.

2. This issues seems to be addressed in the next version of Web Author. Just try to see if you can reproduce it.

Best,
Cristian
