Web and WebWorks Development

Hello.

I'm getting 'Javascript Alert: Access to "<my_url_here>?" not allowed. My config.xml contains  <access subdomains="true" uri="*"/> and I'm using jquery mobile/jquery.

Does anyone have any idea why? I'm tryong to download server side generated content from a normal jquery $('#mydiv).load(my_url);.

Here's my config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Since one of the BB10 updates(I think Gold)

<access subdomains="true" uri="*"/> doesn't work.

You have to list each website that you are white listing individually.

I just came across something in the docs.

<feature id="blackberry.app">
<param name="websecurity" value="disable" />
</feature>

Might give you the same effect as <access subdomains="true" uri="*"/> us't to. Give it a try and let me know if it works.

Found at https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/documentation/param_element.html

Thanks for the quick response. I had found the info but since it said not to use it in production, I had decided not to use it. However, after testing, buidling and installing the app on my Z10 I can say that disableing web security works. Actually, it's the only way I found to get the BlackBerry Ads network to work corectly in webworks.

Here's the code:

<feature id="blackberry.app" required="true" version="1.0.0.0">
          <param name="websecurity" value="disable" />
    </feature>

 As said before, it is NOT recommended by Blackberry for a production envrionment. However, it seems to be the only way to get the BlackBerry ads to work on WebWorks and to get full access. I hope BlackBerry will eventually fix their API and make it easier for developpers to use JQuery and server based applications.

The <param name="websecurity" value="disable" /> is not applicable for BB7 and BB6 devices right.??

Then how can we include a <feature> tag for each and every domain.??

Am stock with the same issue.
What about OS7 and older.
The access uri="*" doesn't work too.
