Re: Browser Component is disabled

I'm running SoapUI Pro 3.5.1 on Mac (build 2010/04/12).

When I issue a simple HTTP test step that GETs, say, www.yahoo.com, I can see the response in XML, Outline or Overview.  When I try to see the response in HTML, I get this message in the tab:

  Browser Component is disabled

How do I browse my page response?  I know this has worked in earlier versions of SoapUI on Windows. Is this a Mac limitation?

Thanks!

    Hi Chas,

    yes, the current browser component doesn't work on some versions of Mac OS.. what version / architecture are you using?

    regards!

    I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6.3).  On which version(s) does the browser component work?  Thanks!

    Hi!

    this is what is says in the doc:

    Mac OS 10.5.2 Kernel;

    Apple Java 1.5 32-bit version Installed. (not 64-bit)

    maybe you are running 64-bit?

    regards!

    Hm.  I have this java installed:
    java version "1.6.0_20"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02-279-10M3065)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01-279, mixed mode)

    I forced it to 32-bit by inserting "-d32" into the startup:
    java version "1.6.0_20"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02-279-10M3065)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01-279, mixed mode)

    That didn't help.  My machine was originally imaged with Leopard (10.5.1) and later upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.3). According to 'uname -a', my kernel version is:
    Darwin Kernel Version 10.3.0: Fri Feb 26 11:58:09 PST 2010; root:xnu-1504.3.12~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

    I was under the impression that the Darwin kernel is what's under Snow Leopard.  I can't find any info on upgrading the kernel to 1.5.2 on the web, but I'll ask my IT department to look into it.

    Is 64-bit Java running as 32-bit OK, or do I need to have a native 32-bit version installed?  Or should I just bag it and re-install SoapUI Pro on Parallels?  Thanks!
