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>
.
