Running Jetty as a Workbench service [message #105591] Fri, 29 February 2008 02:20 Go to next message

I would like to use the embedded Jetty server to provide a http interface to
a running eclipse workbench. I created two action sets using the plug-in
wizards that start and stop Jetty using the JettyConfigurator.startServer()
and JettyConfigurator.stopServer() methods. Jetty starts up and a browser
pointed to them seems to confirm that Jetty is running. This is where I run
out of steam.

I created a servlet and context extension points and classes but I do not
know how I make this Jetty instance use them.

As you can see I'm pretty green so advise is welcome.

My goal is to have a program outside of a running eclipse workbench be able
to ask the the eclipse workbench to perform some actions and return a
response.

Thanks in advance.

Assumptions:
* Your plugin has a dependency upon the "org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry"
* Your plugin proves an extensions to the
"org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.servlets" extension point.
The default startup configuration for the IDE does not launch the equinox
http service by default. This needs to be added to the startup
configuration in "configuration/config.ini".

* Open "configuration/config.ini" in an editor
* Modify the property "osgi.bundles"
** Append ", org.eclipse.equinox.http@3:start,
org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry@start"

Optionally, you can change the port number (e.g. 3080) used by the http
service by define setting "org.osgi.service.http.port=3080".

You may have to restart your IDE w/ the "clean" option (eclipse -clean), for
your changes to the "osgi.bundles" property to take affect.

Thanks

How would my plugin check to see if it is running, and if not get and start
the "service" instead of it being auto-started?

Just to followup, I reviewed how Eclipse help uses the embeded Jetty. I
mimiced it and it worked. My plugin explicitly starts and stops jetty from
a singleton.

The servlet then runs inside of my workbench and can interact with the
workbench as it receives requests.

Works great... and less filling too

I have written an Activator which starts Jetty and I want to register a
servlet which acts on the workspace.

Although I have registered my servlet throught the extension point,

<extension
point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.servlets">
<servlet
alias="/MyServlet"
class="com.example.MyServlet">
</servlet>
</extension>

the servlet is not available.

Here is how I start Jetty:

Dictionary<String, Object> settings = new Hashtable<String, Object>();
settings.put("http.enabled", Boolean.TRUE);
settings.put("http.port", 8079);
settings.put("http.host", "0.0.0.0");
settings.put("https.enabled", Boolean.FALSE);
settings.put("context.path", "/");
settings.put("context.sessioninactiveinterval", 1800);
try
{
JettyConfigurator.startServer(PLUGIN_ID + ".server",
settings);
serverId = PLUGIN_ID + ".server";
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

Any idea would be appreciated.

Loïc

Hi Loic,

The org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry bundle has to be started. Can you
confirm that it is.

If not Help/UA uses the following code that you might embelish:
---
Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle("org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry");

if (bundle.getState() == Bundle.RESOLVED) {

bundle.start(Bundle.START_TRANSIENT);

}

---

This will work but a better practice here would be to use PackageAdmin
instead of Platform to get the bundle.
