[Paraview] ParaViewWeb sample web applications does not display 3d contents

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi Chandrika,

you are definitely on the right mailing list.

Currently there is a known issue using the JPA dao class in the
pw-config.properties, so make sure you used the Memory class instead.

Then regarding all your software version, everything should be fine.

Could you send the content of one of your pw-out*.log ? It might help
me to understand what is happening.

Also, just to make sure, when at the second step you turn ON Mesa, did
ParaView rebuild properly ?
The superbuild is kind of experimental and I'm not sure it works well
dynamically.

Thanks,

Seb
