connection reset error message in Firefox

I’m using Firefox 1.5 and am getting an intermittent error message of “The connection was reset. The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.”

Currently I’m running on localhost:8080 so there shouldn’t be any network issues.

The weird thing is that there’s no rhyme or reason to this, so far as I can tell. I’ve even had it in a pattern where exactly the same page will load and then, upon reloading, product the error, and then upon reloading again run just fine.

What, in general, would cause this error over localhost?

Thanks,

Don

What does this error look like? Is it displayed by Firefox, or is it a
Java exception sent by OPS?

I have never seen neither, at least not without reason.

Oy, this is weird.

1. The message is displayed as a Firefox message, not an OPS message.
One of the developers put an http sniffer on it and came up with the
attached OPS message that we presume should be displayed.

2. We tried it in IE as well, and it returns the standard "Server Not
Found" page that IE gives.

3. On the basis of the above attached file, I've gone through the
page-flow.xml doc for the application and verified that every page that
is referred to is correct, etc. No luck solving the problem there.

4. In the best of the trouble-shooters efforts, I've reduced the view
for the offending page to next to nothing and done the same for the
form. Then I've gradually added in the form content and checked it.
Here's what I've arrived at, but this makes no sense at all to me:

On the page we have several fields that provide a pick-list for the user
from the form. So, we're using the same approach used in the demo
examples of select and select2 forms, and here's a short version of our
form. The information for the various pick-lists is contained in the
<resources> element:

<instance>
<description>

</description>
<resources>
<basicLookAndFeel>
<item id="javaUI" >Java Interface</item>
<item id="windowsUI" >Windows Interface</item>
</basicLookAndFeel>
</resources>
<action/>
</instance>

What's evidently causing the problem is the <item> elements. If I
comment those out, the page opens fine in IE. As soon as those elements
are present, IE fails. Currently, Firefox works fine with the <item>
elements, but I know it was the same elements in subsequent contexts
that started the problem in Firefox.

And mind you, the view is bare-bones at this point, so there's nothing
in it to cause any trouble.

None of this makes any sense to me, but we're dead in the water at this
point. We were humming along fine, and then this weirdness.

Any thoughts or suggestions will be much appreciated.

Don

Don,

Somebody, somewhere must produce an incorrect path that produces the OPS
error page you are seeing (the "Condition failed for every branch of
choose: [(/request/request-path = ..." error ultimately comes from the PFC).

I too fail to see how this could connect to the content of an XForms
instance. It seems to me that this is a problem that has to be debugged
with the application at hand. Can you send a reasonably small
reproducible case?
