Hi Robert,

I've tried the SOA-5.2.0.ER5, deployed in my local Mac OSX machine, and then use both IE7 & IE9, they are working fine. (although the layout and font are not as beautiful as Firefox/Chrome), I am interested in that whether you also deployed the SOA under windows? I've tested it in two windows7 machine.

Comment 7 Robert Balent 2011-11-02 14:47:08 UTC
Hi Jeff,

I tried with SOA platform deployed on linux and windows machine too. I've reproduced it on our lab machines soa5 and soa7.

Comment 8 Jiri Pechanec 2011-11-03 09:16:40 UTC
I tried it at home - Windows XP/IE 8 - works for me

Comment 9 Jeff Yu 2011-11-03 09:32:03 UTC
I downloaded the SOA-P ER6 today, and tried it again with Windows7/IE7, works fine.

Comment 10 Jeff Yu 2011-11-04 09:19:36 UTC
So here is the summary for this issue.

The web console doesn't work against the IE7/IE8 under Win2k3, however, it works fine on the IE7/IE9 under Windows7 and the IE8 under Windows XP. (This is based on Ivo, Robert, Jiri and myself test), For the specific IE7/IE8 under Win2k3, it can be workaround by using Firefox on Win2k3. I would suggest that we add this into the release note by saying use Firefox for users under Win2k3. In next release, when we upgrade the GWT version, this issue might be gone. It is a bit hard to debug this issue at this late stage.

Regards
Jeff

This: Windows 2003 x86_64

Is still a supported configuration - see: https://docspace.corp.redhat.com/docs/DOC-85222

If we're not going to support IE on Win2k3, then we need to document this as a limitation.

Comment 12 David Le Sage 2012-05-15 04:46:07 UTC
We will document this as a known issue in the release notes.
