Maps component and https

Hi,
I've got a form which contains the xbl map component and is served using
https

If somebody says "no" to the dialogue which asks about mixed http/https
content then the form behaves horribly so I've been trying to enable
https for the map but I haven't had any luck in getting it to work

I've set the property according to:
http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xbl-components/map but
it doesn't seem to work as the http url is still used.

Has anyone had any experience with this?

Thanks,
Ian

Ian,

Just to make sure: in addition to setting <property as="xs:boolean"
name="oxf.xforms.xbl.fr.map.ssl" value="true"/> do you have a Premier
API key for this? Also see:

Re: Re: Maps component and https

In reply to this post by idwright

Alex,

My first step was to make sure that I could configure the map component
so that the https URL is used but I haven't got as far as that.

I've done some further investigation and looking at the line below in
the map.xbl file I can't figure out how to make the if evaluate to true
if (xxforms:property('oxf.xforms.xbl.fr.map.ssl')) then
's://maps-api-ssl' else '://maps'}

I'm sure I'm (not) doing something obvious....

Thanks,
Ian

Ian,

So you set a value for that property in your properties-local.xml, right?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Maps component and https

Erik,
Yes - same place as the oxf.xforms.xbl.fr.map.key property which works
fine.

Ian,

Can you try to hack i.e. put your own copy of map.xbl under:

RESOURCES/xbl/orbeon/map/map.xbl

(Restart your servlet container just in case.)

And then hardcode the request with https? This to make sure that the
issue is the xxforms:property() call.

Also to try, adding somewhere:

<xforms:output value="xxforms:property('oxf.xforms.xbl.fr.map.ssl')"/>

to see if the property is read correctly.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Maps component and https

Hi,
This isn't a problem for me any more as I'm moving down a different route - it was probably something stupid....

Some more concrete observations:
1. The use of brackets { } in xhtml:script at the end of map.xbl seems to be causing the generation of the erroneous:

<script src="<a href="view-source:https://wwarn-app3.nsms.ox.ac.uk/repository/ops/images/xforms/spacer.gif">/repository/ops/images/xforms/spacer.gif" type="text/javascript" id="xf-1027$xf-2955"></script>

2. In the js updateMakerFromAddress doesn't set the lat/lng at the moment you need to drag the pointer after doing that - it's a simple fix.

3. I've put in bing maps instead
(<xhtml:script charset="UTF-8" type="text/javascript" src="https://ecn.dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=7.0&ssl=1" />)

4. The current implementation uses google maps v2 which is deprecated and behaves differently to v3 with https

I've attached 2 files - one is google maps v3 implementation, the other a bing maps implementation - these could be used with relatively minor tweaking

For bing the callback mechanism isn't great and there isn't a good way to insert the api key into the javascript (you need to change both places where it says "insert credentials here" but other than that it appears to work for me at least.

I did experiment with mapstraction but it doesn't appear to have sufficient support for callbacks i.e. for the dragging

Regards,
Ian
