[SOLVED] Managed Reporting - Frameset issue

Fairly new to WF/MR.

I've set up a tab (Page) in BID which references an htm file only containing a frameset tag. I've referenced the address for the frames simply by the file names - these htm files are placed in the same folder in MR, are openable from within Dev Studio.

However, it looks like the BID is looking for the frame files in a different directory, even though (in theory) a lack of an explicitly defined path should mean "same directory."

Has anyone done their own frameset from within BID where they're keeping the frame pages within the MR folders rather than referencing an external url?

Frameset tag page:

 <html>

<frameset cols="25%,*">
  <frame src="menu_frame.htm" name="menuframe">
  <frame src="output_frame.htm" name="outputframe">
</frameset>

</html>

Error message returned when trying to access

 HTTP Status 404 - /ibi_apps/menu_frame.htm

type Status report

message /ibi_apps/menu_frame.htm

description The requested resource (/ibi_apps/menu_frame.htm) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.20

As some additional notes...

"Run" from dev studio produces same issue.

http://server:8080/approot/your_path/nnnn.htm works.

Seems to be related to the way WF is serving the pages...

j.gross

quote:
src="menu_frame.htm"

That indicates the htm file is located on the webserver; in dev studio that corresponds to

WebFocus Environmants | servername | Web Applications

Since it's not there, when your browser calls for it the result is a 404 - page not found.

Noted - although I wasn't able to load pages via a non-explicit reference in that area.

Is the most correct method then to reference http://server:8080/approot/appname/page.htm from the frameset?

You should be able to use relative paths by specifying it like this:

../../approot/appname/page.htm

Tested and works.
