Web and WebWorks Development

[kam1loherrera]

Hello everyone, this is my first post (desperate post!)

I have been working on this app for about a month, it uses the following scripts/frameworks/SDK:

- jquery 1.6.1

- jquery mobile 1.0a4.1

- BlackBerry WebWorks SDK2.0.0.201103231828-18

- BlackBerry WebWorks Plug-in2.5.1.201010291444-2 (eclipse)

it uses JSONP to avoid ajax cross-domain restrictions (app and data in different servers), and is working fine with chrome and BB browser (OS v6.0.0.576) on my phone, no restrictions at all. But when I compile and install the app as a native Webworks app on the phone, every request (same network, same external IP, etc.) I get nothing, status = 0 statusText = timeout on every request. My config.xml is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:rim="http://www.blackberry.com/ns/widgets" version="1.0.0.1">
  <name>My app</name>
  <author rim:copyright="xxx" email="xxx">xxx</author>
  <access subdomains="true" uri="*"/>
  <icon rim:hover="false" src="img/bricks.png"/>
  <icon rim:hover="true" src="img/brickshover.png"/>
  <content src="index.html"/>
  <rim:loadingScreen foregroundImage="img/splash.png" onFirstLaunch="true">
    <rim:transitionEffect type="zoomIn"/>
  </rim:loadingScreen>
  <rim:cache disableAllCache="true"/>
</widget>

just set domain access to "*", and even with that nothing happens

As in documentation, if remote domains/IPs change dynamically then is recommended using "*" to avoid restrictions, in this case it seems not to be working as expected.

This is how i´m making calls over JSONP:

(with jquery)

function queryService(srvUrl, callbackFunc){
	
	if(globalVars['ssl'] == "1"){
		srvUrl = "https://"+srvUrl;
	}else{
		srvUrl = "http://"+srvUrl;
	}
	
	
	
	$.mobile.pageLoading(); 
	

	$.ajax({
		type: "GET",
		url: srvUrl,
		crossDomain: true,
		cache: false,
		dataType: "jsonp",
		jsonp : "callback", //Server only supports JSONP param name "callback"
		jsonpCallback: callbackFunc,
		timeout: 10000,
		error: (function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){
			
			$.mobile.pageLoading(true);
			
			alert("Error:"+xhr.status+"-"+xhr.statusText+"-"+thrownError);
			
		}),
		success: (function(){
			$.mobile.pageLoading(true);
		})
	});
}

Now just make every call like this:

queryService("192.168.1.12:8051/info/AABBCCDD", "mycallbackfunc");

Now the funny part is that the app is fully functional as a webpage on mobile (BB browser os6) and desktop, but as a native app for blackberry it doesn't retrieve information.

Even changed to another JSONP library (Lightweight JSONP fetcher by Erik Karlsson) just to discard a bug on jquery but got the same result.

Any suggestions? your help will be much appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: I forgot, on BB 9800 emulator (OS v6.0.0.227) it works just as expected (compiled app).

Ok, found it! , domain access "*" only works for public IPs, so no intranet love for my app, but that's ok
