Error description
The Worklight Application Framework will use an internal server to serve Dojo resources from a Dojo library project if such a project is included in the application. The Framework will reference this internal server by IP address, and will choose the first IP address it finds on the system. This may not correspond to an IP address or network interface that is actually operational, for example, when the system has multiple network interfaces.
Local fix
There are two possible workarounds: 1) Place Dojo directly into the application, rather than using the Dojo library project provided by the Worklight Application Framework 2) Unzip the ".wlapp" file generated by the application, modify the application's index.html file to reference Dojo via a relative path rather than through the Dojo library project, then ZIP the project to create a new ".wlapp" file to be deployed to the Worklight Server.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Worklight developers creating Dojo-enabled hybrid * * applications on systems with multiple network interfaces. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * With systems that have multiple network interfaces, the * * tooling might use an inactive IP address when trying to * * access the Dojo Library Server. If this occurs, Dojo * * functionality within hybrid applications that need the Dojo * * Library Server will not work. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * - * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
The code has been modified such that it can be provided a hostname to use instead of the code picking an IP address for the host. After installing the fix, the user can optionally provide a hostname in the Worklight Studio > Dojo Library preference page. In addition to accepting the hostname, a full or partial IP address can be given. In the case of a partial IP address, the code will find an IP address among all network interfaces that matches.
