does not support BETA versions of browsers and there is often a delay so that we can test newly released browser versions before they are supported. In previous releases was configured to use a list of supported browsers. An error message and a link to override the error would display if the system was accessed using an unsupported browser. Supported Browsers for Version 5.1.1 can be found here but this version will not warn users if they access the system using an unceretified browser. If you want your users to get a warning, you can configure a list of allowed browsers using the the frevvo.supported.browsers parameter parameter in the web.xml or frevvo.xml (recommended) files if you are using in-house.

Once you have unzipped the frevvo.war file, please find the following context parameter: In version 5.1.1, this parameter is commented out. Be sure to
...
uncomment the parameter using the <!-- --> comment characters. Here is what it looks like initially:
Code Block |

<context-param> <param-name>frevvo.supported.browsers</param-name> <param-value>firefox/2,firefox/3,firefox/4,msie 6.0,msie 7.0,msie 8.0,msie 9.0,applewebkit,camino,httpclient,zend_http_client,formsapi</param-value>value>*</param-value> <description>Supported browsers - array of allowed user agents</description> </context-param> |
Add the user agent for the browser browsers you want to support '''in lower case only'''. For example, to allow Firefox 5 users to access the system, add 'firefox/5' (without the quotes) to the param-value. Save the file. Depending on your deployment, you may have to restart the server. We recommend restarting if possible. Once the server is restarted, Firefox 5 will now be a supported browser.
...
If you want to allow all versions of Firefox, add the string 'firefox' (without the quotes) to the param-value. It will match all versions of the Firefox browser.
...
Microsoft's IE9 browser update 9.0.8112.16421 Update versions 9.0.3(Kb2586448) will result in an unsupported browser exception even with msie9.0 in the web.xml file. The solution is to add the string 'msie' without any version number to the support browser list.

<param-value>firefox/2,firefox/3,firefox/4,msie 6.0,msie 7.0,msie 8.0,msie 9.0,applewebkit,camino,httpclient,zend_http_client,formsapi</param-value> <description>Supported browsers - array of allowed user agents</description> </context-param> |
Save the file. We recommend restarting the Server if possible. Once the server is restarted, Firefox 5 will now be a supported browser in your deployment along with all the others listed in the example.
You can also configure this in <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\frevvo.xml - which is the recommended approach when using the tomcat container. Here is what the parameter looks like in the frevvo.xml file. In this example, only the Internet Explorer browser is allowed. Using any other browser will result in the warning message to the user.

Tomcat Manager
The tomcat manager is accessible in the bundle at http://<server-name>:8082/manager/html. The default Tomcat Manager user name/password are preset to frevvo/frevvo. If you wish to change the password, you may do so by editing the file <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\tomcat-users.xml.

There will be three additional logfiles when running Tomcat as a Windows service:

The following screen displays when a user tries to submit a form from a timed out session.
Editing Submissions
Submissions can be edited via the Submissions Page. This feature is disabled by default for in-house users. To enable this feature, add the frevvo.submissions.edit.link configuration parameter to the <frevvo-home>/WEB-INF/web.xml. For more
details on the feature that this parameter controls see Editing Submissions. The web.xml file must be unzipped from the frevvo.war before it can be edited. See above for the details.
