I can’t get this working and the documentation (or my brain) is a bit lacking. My configuration: > [@](#): > > Natural Studio 6.3.3 > Natural Development Studio 2.2 > Natural for AJAX 1.1.1 > Application Designer 2.3 > Windows XP Pro > JBoss 4.2.3 I have a simple program which displays a simple map. In my local environment I get the standard output window, and in my mapped environment I get a WebIO window. So far, so good. When I attempt to Execute in Browser from my Local Environment, the logon page appears with an error message > [@](#): > > Cannot connect. The session name Local is invalid When I attempt to Execute in Browser from my mapped environment (with Webio=on), I receive a pop-up entitled Natural for Ajax Studio Plug-in with the message > [@](#): > > No application server specified for the environment. From within Firefox, Application Designer seems to work fine, but I’ve had no success with the Natural for Ajax logon page. I have tried many combinations of settings in sessions.xml. Most combinations result in the logon message > [@](#): > > Failed to connect to host and status bar message > [@](#): > > Logon to server failed I believe that I’m getting closer when I get logon message > [@](#): > > The Application Server communications module must be updated with status bar message > [@](#): > > Connect failed What does this logon message mean? In sessions.xml what 8-character user ID is expected? Natural Security is not installed. What should be specified for the Natural application field? NWO.BAT? When I execute NWO.BAT in a command window, I receive the message ‘“null” was unexpected at this time.’ ---

The error messages ‘Cannot connect. The session name Local is invalid’ and ‘No application server specified for the environment’ indicate that the Natural for Ajax Tools plug-in needs to be configured properly for the environment. Please check [http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/natural/nat634win/ext/ext-njx.htm#ext-njx-configureserver](http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/natural/nat634win/ext/ext-njx.htm#ext-njx-configureserver) for this issue. The message ‘The Application Server communications module must be updated.’ indicates that the server (NAT633) requires a higher protocol version than the client (NJX111) supports (the message has been improved since). With NAT633 you should at least have NJX111\_2. Version and build of NJX are indicated on the Logon page. User ID: If running against a Natural Web I/O Interface Server on Windows, you should use a user ID and password of an account defined on the server machine. nwo.bat: For a Natural server on Windows, nwo.bat is the default script file to use. Don’t worry if you can’t run it stand-alone. It willl run nicely when executed by the Natural Web I/O Service. ---

Thank you, Thomas. Your response and the document reference helped quite a bit. I’ve requested an upgrade to NJX. ---

While waiting for the Natural for AJAX upgrade, I was familiarizing myself with Application Designer. At some point, I was no longer able to invoke AD from within a Natural session, but I could still invoke AD from a browser. I received the NJX upgrade, installed it, and again was able to invoke AD from Natural. But after some time (and a re-boot), AD stopped working again. I receive the message > [@](#): > > Navigation to the webpage was canceled Any idea what I could have done to break Application Designer from within Natural? I’ve tried redeploying, but it didn’t help. ---

This looks like a session timeout from Application Designer. If you need to increase the timeout value, check the parameter sessiontimeout in …/njx111.ear/cisnatural.war/cis/config/cisconfig.xml. Regards, Thomas ---
