Can Set Setdataurl() Method Take Absolute Paths

[priyank15]

Hi I am rendering a map using setDataURL("path to map xml"),

currently when I give a path which a valid URL only then does the Map load.

If I give the path as a disk location , it doesnt work since it just appends this path to the base URL which makes it an invalid URL.

so if the path is /myapp/js/my1.xml - it works as I have my js folder in web-app directory so http://localhost:xxx/myapp/js/my1.xml is valid

 

if the path is like C:/xmls/my1.xml - it doesnt work since http://localhost:xxx/myapp/C:/xmls/my1.xml is invalid URL.

but since we are deploying a war we want to keep the XML outside the web-app , how do I set the path in setDataURL() method.

 

Thanks & Regards

Hi Priyank,

 

Thank you for the post.

 

I'm afraid, starting FusionMaps v3.0.5 loads data from only relative URLs. Absolute URLs are not allowed due to security fix that restricts XSS attacks.

 

I hope this helps.
