webMathematica 2.0 Release Notes
General
The specification of the selection in HTMLSelect is now controlled by the options, SelectedOptions and SelectedValues. Previously it was an argument.
The tags msp:includeMSP and msp:forwardMSP have been renamed to msp:includeClassicMSP and msp:forwardClassicMSP.
Using Mozilla 1.x and accessing the XSLT and XML versions of the IntegrateForm webMathematica example page will require access to the Mathematica 4.1 Fonts.
For more information on obtaining these, please see:

At this time, the IntegrateWebEQ webMathematica example does not work properly with the WebEQApplet.jar (v3.0.1), found at
http://www.dessci.com/en/support/tsn/tsn87.htm.
We are working on a solution for this issue.
Servlet Container-specific
Apache Tomcat
On HP Tru64 Unix, you will need to modify the catalina.sh, startup.sh,
and shutdown.sh scripts in CATALINA_HOME/bin
and replace
#!/bin/sh with
#!/bin/ksh
Macromedia JRun and Others
When deploying the webMathematica WAR archive, you will need to uncompress
the archive, and uncomment the
WebApplicationName=webMathematica
parameter in MSP.conf in order for front-end generated images to be shown properly. You can then re-create the WAR archive and
proceed with the deployment process via the JRun Management Console.
Similarly, we have found that this option is required to be uncommented under a number of other servlet containers,
such as JBoss 3.x, Oracle 9iAS, etc.
Browser-specific
Windows/Internet Explorer
It is recommended that you use the Java Plug-in as the default Java Runtime for Internet Explorer on Windows. The
Java Plug-in is needed to view the Plot3DLive, TextApplet, Polyhedron, and NightSky webMathematica examples.
For more information on how to obtain the Java Plug-in, please see
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin.
Windows/Mozilla
When accessing the Phone.jsp XML example, you may see a message about missing style information. This is benign.
Clicking on the XSLT radio button in IntegrateForm webMathematica example hangs Mozilla 1.3 on Windows. This issue is rectified
with the latest available version of Mozilla, 1.4.1 beta.
Mac OS X/Various
Internet Explorer 5.2.2 crashes, when accessing the the XSLT version of the IntegrateForm webMathematica
example.
Recent versions (1.0 Beta 2 v73/v74) of the Safari web browser produce the following message when accessing the NightSky
webMathematica example:
LiveGraphics3D error: applet parameter
"INPUT" or "INPUT FILE" missing.
LiveGraphics3D aborted
No output is shown in the browser. This issue is currently under investigation.
Recent versions (1.0 Beta 2 v73/v74) of the Safari web browser attempt to render the HTML code when clicking on the Show Code
radio button.
The XML example, Phone.jsp, is properly rendered with Mozilla 1.4.1 beta only.
Linux/Various
When using Mozilla 1.x in conjunction with the Java Plug-in and accessing the NightSky Design Template, causes the browser to crash
with the following message:
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End:
Write failed. sendrequest
System error?:: Resource temporarily unavailable
This issue is currently under investigation.
Localization
Users of the German version of Windows should modify the MathLinkArguments in MSP.conf as follows:
MathLinkArguments.Windows=-linkname 'C:\\Programme\\Wolfram Research\\Mathematica\\4.2\\MathKernel.exe -mathlink' -linkmode launch
