Hi,

Is it possible to load an html file which is located in a plugin folder within the RAP?

I can get the server url and the context path of the application but then, how does it continue? Let's say the file is in the plugin [eub.jlzhtools] in folder [js/].

So, serverUrl + contextPath + pluginName + folderName + fileName =
http://127.0.0.1:50787/jLZHweb/eub.jlzhtools/js/chart.html

This leads to the error [ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS]
(A HttpServlet is registered to redirect to a welcome page)

Inserting also the servlet path [/web]
http://127.0.0.1:50787/jLZHweb/web/eub.jlzhtools/js/chart.html

leads to [HTTP ERROR: 404 Not Found]

Is it possible to access the file like this and, if yes,
how do I get the correct URL for it?

Thanks and regards, Julia

PS: I guess I have to register the file as resource, but somehow,
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("js/chart.html");

always returns null, although the [js] folder is on the class path. Actually, how to check that? I thought it needs to be included the project's [bin] folder, which is defined in the build.properties file:
bin.includes = jlzhtools.jar,\
               META-INF/,\
               js/

Hi Julia,
you have to register the html as resource and get its path from the
resource manager - see MarkupExample#|registerImage|.

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for the link!
I really don't know, what I'm doing wrong, but
ClassLoader#getResourceAsStream always returns null!

I checked
a) the resource folder is on the class path
b) the class where I get the classLoader from is in the same plugin as the resource folder

What else can be the reason that the resource is not found?

Hi Julia,
where is the "resource" folder located - root of the bundle or in the
"src" folder? Did you check if the specified resource path is correct?
Best,
Ivan

I guess I found the problem:

It seems when calling ClassLoader#getResourceAsStream the complete stacktrace needs to stay in the plugin that contains the resource.

What I mean is that in a snipped where the resource is in the same plugin the resource is found, but when this snipped calls a method in a different plugin which is doing the registering in order to use the resource from the other plugin it will not be found.

So probably each plugin needs to have its own resources!

There was some confusion on my site.... I just like to put my solution here, which finally works Very Happy

Static resources which are located in a folder named "js" under the plugin root are registered in the plugin.xml file (needs org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry in the dependencies):
<extension
      point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.resources">
   <resource
         alias="/js-chart"
         base-name="js">
   </resource>
</extension>

html files which are generated during runtime are registered with the ResourceManager:
String fileName = "chart_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".html";
InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(htmlContent.getBytes());
try {
	RWT.getResourceManager().register(fileName, inputStream);
} finally {
	inputStream.close();
}

I'm using the currentTimeMillis to keep the file name unique. One could also use the session id plus a counter.
The nice thing is that I don't need to save this file, but get the input stream directly from the string (this resource should be unregistered when it is no longer needed).

In the html file static resources in the "js" folder (e.g. date_format.js) can be accessed like
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../js-chart/date_format.js"></script>

Maybe someone finds this helpful Wink
