It is, I'll try again asap - definitely looks like a platform/browser
specific issue, it's Ubuntu 9 + FireFox 3.6.13 which I upgraded to
recently using the apt-get facility...So I'm not worried really then,
but I'll try again, and on Windows too...

May be it's somehow related to what I see with the application
exception above...

What I will need to do is to provide an abstract utility
ReadableStorage implementation which can be easily overridden to have
the file-based logs viewable. I don't think we can make LogBrowser
perfect and feature-complete by the 2.4.0 is released, but hope users
will give it a try anyway...

Few other "would be nice to fix" issues - definitely not show stoppers :
- LogBrowser has the 'embedded' providers, one for servicing the
gzipped file and another one for unqualified JSON, this would be nice
to move to the demo's Application (JSONProvider can be configured
directly to drop the namespaces) - I can look into it
- Authentication: I've noticed there's AuthenticationRequired
annotation attached to some of the BootstrapStorage methods - we
really need to remove this annotation and for now just pop-up a login
window on the browser start-up.
Users will be configuring the LogBrowser application as part of the
real deployments. So what would be good is to write the GWT client
code such that it only pops up a window  when the initial GET returns
401 - can you use CXF WebClient there and do 'Response r =3D
webClient.get()' and if r.getStatus() =3D=3D 401 then pop-up a login
dialog ? We can deal with this issue later, when we have more time,
and then we'll also decide whether to support https in cases when the
authentication is needed or may be do the UT profile, we'll see...

Thanks, Sergey.
