Problem Note 37688: Unable to use a file reference in a URL Display Portlet in the SAS® Information Delivery Portal
When using a URL Display Portlet, the documentation indicates that you can use a file reference, such as the following, for the URL:
file:///c:/temp/test.html
However, if JBOSS is your application server and you attempt to use the file:/// format in a URL Display Portlet, you will see the following error message. This error occurs even though JBOSS supports this format.
Unable to display 'file:///C:/Users/Public/graph.html' because
'org.jboss.net.protocol.file.FileURLConnection'.
As a workaround, you can use the http:// format, such as http://www.sas.com, which will work for all application servers, including JBOSS. You also can use IIS or Apache to serve static content HTML for the URL Display Portlet.
