Line 21, char 58/59 points to:

"}},function(){RtcProvider.getInstance().updatePresence({""<USER>  '\"\"' "@.MISSING-HOST-NAME.":n........"
                                                       ^^^^^                ^^^^^^^^^^

Line 8,  char 19348 refers to:

onclick="return false;"


From Line 21: it clearly shows the double quotes causing the problem. 


Look for RtcProvider.getInstance().updatePresence in the browser view souce code  then look carefully.
It may look like this:


"<USERID>"     :new PresenceObject("sip:<USERID>","offline","Offline"),
"<USERID>"   :new PresenceObject("sip:<USERID>","offline","Offline"),
"<USERID3>" :new PresenceObject("sip:<USERID3> "" <USERID3>","offline","Offline"),
"<USERID>"                  :new PresenceObject("sip:<USERID>","offline","Offline"),
"<USERID>"                :new PresenceObject("sip:no.reply@ORACLE.COM","offline","Offline")

Notice <USERID3> has double quotes.  This seems to cause javascript error.

 

 

 

Changes

No changes, but to see the problem;

1. Setup Webcenter with MsExchange   (probably happens with other mail servers as well)
2. Send an email and ensure the sender has double quotes in the senders  email address e.g.    <USERID3> '""'
3. Place the Email TaskFlow on the Page.
4. Ensure the Page where the Email task flow is placed is FIRST in the Space  (first tab)
