Eclipse RAP Development Guide

EntryPoint

Identifier:
org.eclipse.rap.ui.entrypoint

Since:
RAP 1.0

Description:
A major difference between RCP and RAP is the way an application is started. With regular SWT applications you would use the main(String[] args) method, in RCP an implementation of IApplication. AS RAP uses a life cycle to control the application startup the application needs an IEntrypoint implementation which does mostly the same as IApplication. The difference is that we need to do not dispose the display but return it to RAP in the createUI method. There can be several entrypoints for the same application which are distinguished by a paramter in the URI for this application like <host>:<port>/rap?startup=<entrypointname>.

Configuration Markup:

<!ELEMENT extension ( entrypoint+)>

<!ATTLIST extension

point CDATA #REQUIRED

id    CDATA #IMPLIED

name  CDATA #IMPLIED>


<!ELEMENT entrypoint EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST entrypoint

id        CDATA #REQUIRED

class     CDATA #REQUIRED

parameter CDATA #REQUIRED>

  • id - The identifier of this entrypoint. Used in org.eclipse.rap.ui.branding extension point.
  • class - An implementation of IEntryPoint which starts the application.
  • parameter - The name which should be used from outside in the URI.

Examples:

<extension
    id=
"org.eclipse.rap.demo.demoentrypoint"

    point=
"org.eclipse.rap.ui.entrypoint"
>
  <entrypoint
     id=
"org.eclipse.rap.demo.entrypoint"

        class=
"org.eclipse.rap.demo.MyAppEntrypoint"

        parameter=
"myapp"
/>
  </extension>
