failed to create conncetion (WSDL SOAP ADDRESS) in lc designer es2

Earlier, Our functionality was working fine in prod, support and test environment.
Suddenly some webservices has started to fail inside the form only.We have investigated on our own and find that it will not be able to create the connection in adobe lc designer .We are using WSDLConnection soapAddress value programmatically to create the connection with webservices.
We are using adobe lc designer to make changes in the code and lc workbench to store the processes & services.
can anyone please help me as soon as possible why it is not being able to create the connection.
var oConnection = xfa.connectionSet.GatingApprovalWebService.clone(1);
oConnection.soapAddress.value = utils.getDataDom().SystemProfile.GatingApprovalWebService.value;
oConnection.execute(false);
We have seen that wherein the form webservices call are happening,it will be not working.
One common thing we have found in three environment that adobe root certificate and credentials is already expired on 7th january( there is no support from adobe because we are using adobe LC es2).

Running executable application on Chrome?

Is it possible to run executable .exe application on Chrome browser or what option do I have?
I have seen example of JavaScript and it is desgined to work on IE because it use WScript.Shell (Not tested)
var ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
ws.run("C:\\System\\Display\\Display.exe \"" + message1 + "\" \"" + message2 + "\"");
So basically javascript it will execute Display.exe <Message>
Display.exe connect to COM3 (serial port) to display price on the Customer Display Pole (Till system)

Short: No it's not possible.
It's not even possible to call local files directly from chrome. It's really locked down in google chrome. If you manage to crack it you could strike it rich
In short, the best way to access local stuff is to set up a local webserver, call it, let the webserver execute a local file/protocol and then return the output to you via xhr or websockets.
Another option might be Java signed with secure certificates to allow some leeway, but even there the security measures are really tight.
Or you could make a chrome plugin and try Native Message Passing
Or, another option is that you fork chromium and build in your own activeX support into it. ChromiumX has a nice ring to it heh.
But all in all, it's really hard to get stuff done via chrome in what you want.
personally I resolved it by using PHP COM on a windows server to which I communicated via ajax requests to do the stuff I needed done, but it's less than ideal.

Javascript Access to File on local machine

I want to open the files located on local drive using window.open().
When i try to access the file using window.open i am getting error "Access is denied."
Would somebody help to achieve this requirement in Internet explorer 8.0?
Thanks!

You can't. And thank God for that. Imagine how insecure the internet would've been if JS was able to access a client's file-system.
Of course, IE8 has the MS specific JScript superset (ActiveXObject), which does enable filesystem access:
var fileHandle,
fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
fileHandle = fs.OpenTextFile("C:\\path\\to\\file.tmp", 1, true);
fileHandle.Write('This is written to a file');
console.log(fileHandle.ReadLine());//will log what we've just written to the file
But this is non-standard, is - I think- no longer supported either, and doesn't work X-browser.
Here's the documentation. At the bottom there's a link to a more detailed overview of the properties and methods this object has to offer, as you can see, there's a lot to choose from

I'm adding this answer just to be complete, but so far as Web Pages go, Elias Van Ootegem's answer is correct: you can't (and shouldn't be able to) get to the local hard drive.
But .. you can isf your page is an HTA (HTML Application) :
HTML Application wiki
This is essentially a web page with .hta as the extension(usually) and some extra tags to tell IE that it's an HTA application, not a web page.
This is something that runs via the windows operating system and is so far as I'm aware only available for IE. The HTA application opens as a web page in IE, but without the usual web navigation / favourites toolbars etc.
Note that if you have a page on an internet server delivered as an HTA application, you're likely to cause virus scanners and firewalls to pop up because this would essenstially be running a script whcih could do manything to your computer. Not good for general internert stuff at all, but might be useful in a secure environment like an intranet where the source of the application is known to be safe.
To get to the file system, you can use javascript code like this :
// set up a Fils System Object variable..
var FSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
// function to read a file
function ReadFile(sFile) {
var f, ts;
var s="";
if(FSO.FileExists(sFile))
{
f = FSO.GetFile(sFile);
ts = f.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading, TristateUseDefault);
if (!ts.AtEndOfStream) {s = ts.ReadAll( )};
ts.Close( );
}
return s;
}
alert(ReadFile("c:\\somefilename.txt");

Uncaught Error: SECURITY_ERR: DOM Exception 18 when I try to set a cookie

I get the following error in Chrome's developer tools window when I try to set a cookie using this jQuery plugin:
Uncaught Error: SECURITY_ERR: DOM Exception 18
What does this error mean and how can I fix it? I get the same error when I use this jQuery plugin.

You're most likely using this on a local file over the file:// URI scheme, which cannot have cookies set. Put it on a local server so you can use http://localhost.

I also had this issue while developping on HTML5 in local.
I had issues with images and getImageData function.
Finally, I discovered one can launch chrome with the --allow-file-access-from-file command switch, that get rid of this protection security.
The only thing is that it makes your browser less safe, and you can't have one chrome instance with the flag on and another without the flag.

You can also "fix" this by replacing the image with its inline Base64 representation:
img.src= "data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhCwALAIAAAAAA3pn/ZiH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAALAAsAAAIUhA+hkcuO4lmNVindo7qyrIXiGBYAOw==";
Useful, when you do not intend to publish the page on the web, but instead use it on local machines only.

Faced with the same situation playing with Javascript webworkers. Unfortunately Chrome doesn't allow to access javascript workers stored in a local file.
One kind of workaround below using a local storage is to running Chrome with --allow-file-access-from-files (with s at the end), but only one instance of Chrome is allowed, which is not too convenient for me. For this reason i'm using Chrome Canary, with file access allowed.
BTW in Firefox there is no such an issue.

This error pops up, if you try to create a web worker with data URI scheme.
var w = new Worker('data:text/javascript;charset=utf-8,onmessage%20%3D%20function()%20%7B%20postMessage(%22pong%22)%3B%20%7D'); w.postMessage('ping');
It's not allowed according to the standard: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/workers.html#dom-worker

I had this issue when using the history API.
window.history.pushState(null, null, URL);
Even with a local server (localhost), you want to add 'http://' to your URL so that you have something similar to:
http://localhost...

I wasn't completely happy by the --allow-file-access-from-files solution, because I'm using Chrome as my primary browser, and wasn't really happy with this breach I was opening.
Now I'm using Canary ( the chrome beta version ) for my development with the flag on.
And the mere Chrome version for my real blogging : the two browser don't share the flag !

One can also receive this error if using the new (so far webkit only) notification feature before getting permission.
First run:
<!-- Get permission -->
<button onclick="webkitNotifications.requestPermission();">Enable Notifications</button>
Later run:
// Display Notification:
window.webkitNotifications.createNotification('image', 'Title', 'Body').show();
The request permission functions needs to be triggered from an event caused by the user, otherwise it won't be displayed.

I was been getting that error in mobile safari when using ASP.NET MVC to return a FileResult with the overload that returns a file with a different file name than the original. So,
return File(returnFilePath, contentType, fileName);
would give the error in mobile safari, where as
return File(returnFilePath, contentType);
would not.
I don't even remember why I thought what I was doing was a good idea. Trying to be clever I guess.

Detect if javascript is enabled in a winforms/mfc embedded browser

I have a native (windows) application that has an embedded web browser. Currently I'm invoking a javascript function from the backend (c++/c#). However, if javascript is disabled this fails and I'd like to provide a fallback mechanism. Is there a way to determine if javascript is disabled?

In the IE Web Control, you can simply force JavaScript on. Please refer to the following interfaces, which your host has to implement:
IDocHostUIHandler
IDocHostShowUI
IInternetSecurityManager
IServiceProvider
Another approach would be for your HTML page to query the window.external object and call a method on it, which you implement in your host, which sets a flag to true. Not being called would mean the JavaScript was not executed.

Wow, using web browser under mfc is really pain in the ass, you can do it by getting the IInternetSecurityManager, and check if is enabled to execute javascript by current policy, if user select to disable javascript on his IE, you will need to overwrite the value in the registry.
HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_InternetSecurityManager, NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,IID_IInternetSecurityManager, (void**)&pSecurityMgr);
int policy = URLPOLICY_ALLOW;
hr = pSecurityMgr->ProcessUrlAction(L"http://www.google.com", URLACTION_SCRIPT_RUN,
(BYTE*)&policy, sizeof(policy), NULL, 0, PUAF_TRUSTED, 0);
if hr = S_FALSE, javascript execution is disabled...
