My Blackberry Webworks application is having problem opening a remote page when testing it in a Blackberry simulator (Tried 9630-Verizon, 9700-ATT, 9860-Asia). Each time I try to open a remote page in my webworks application, the application will freeze and after a while i get a white screen with the error App Error 104 Uncaught: InterruptedIOException and when I click continue a message dialog comes up with the message Local Connection timed out after ~ 120000. If i open that same URL in the simulator's browser, it opens straight away. What I don't know is why it's not opening in the webworks application.
Now, the funniest part is, if I load the same webworks application into my blackberry device, it works perfectly. It opens the remote page straight away. I don't know why its not working in a simulator.
I have the config.xml file configured properly with the remote url set in the access element <access uri="http://sample-remote-server.com/" subdomains="true" />
Was able to fix the problem. For future reference, the problem was, I wasn't running MDS so the Blackberry simulator couldn't simulate data service.
To fix the problem, I just navigated to the mds folder in my Blackberry Webworks path usually at \Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Webworks SDK\mds and clicked on run.bat and MDS Server will be up and running.
