Hi,

This is caused by Same Origin security policy, there is a lot of materials on this matter on the web, e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25098021/securityerror-blocked-a-frame-with-origin-from-accessing-a-cross-origin-frame, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25893006/uncaught-securityerror-blocked-a-frame-with-origin-null-from-accessing-a-fram or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy

Interesting is also the URL you are using, http://localhost:8060/.  Remember this might work well on your local machine where FishEye instance is running on the same box, but external users would not be able to access FishEye via this URL.  Use full qualified domain name of the box hosting FishEye preferrably.

Finally, by the same origin policy error you mentioned, I'm guessing you are trying to interact with FishEye displayed in the iframe by JavaScript, aren't you?  Let me know what kind of integration are you trying to achieve, perhaps there are better ways of providing such integration?   You may want to consume FishEye REST APIs for instance to interact with FishEye application, that might be easier approach to overcome the same origin policy limitations.

Kind regards,
Piotr
