My Blackberry Webworks application is having problem opening a remote page when testing it in a Blackberry simulator (Tried 9630-Verizon, 9700-ATT, 9860-Asia). Each time I try to open a remote page in my webworks application, the application will freeze and after a while i get a white screen with the error App Error 104 Uncaught: InterruptedIOException and when I click continue a message dialog comes up with the message Local Connection timed out after ~ 120000. If i open that same URL in the simulator’s browser, it opens straight away. What I don’t know is why it’s not opening in the webworks application.
Now, the funniest part is, if I load the same webworks application into my blackberry device, it works perfectly. It opens the remote page straight away. I don’t know why its not working in a simulator.
I have the config.xml file configured properly with the remote url set in the access element <access uri="http://sample-remote-server.com/" subdomains="true" />
Was able to fix the problem. For future reference, the problem was, I wasn’t running MDS so the Blackberry simulator couldn’t simulate data service.
To fix the problem, I just navigated to the mds folder in my Blackberry Webworks path usually at
\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Webworks SDK\mdsand clicked onrun.batand MDS Server will be up and running.
