Hi,

in order to "brand" your product, we've introduced some branding
functionalities which can be found in the org.eclipse.rap.ui.branding
extension point.

You need to adapt your existing plugin.xml files because two of the
schema definitions have changed:

* org.eclipse.rap.ui.theme has no more its default attribute
* org.eclipse.rap.ui.entrypoint now needs an id in order to identify it

Benny,

Thanks, this is what I've been waiting for.

- What's body element for ?
- If I want user to access my app using parameter ?foo=bar, where to put
the parameter specification ?

Regards,

Setya

The body element will be used as body of your initial startup page. Just
put a valid html fragment into the body field and restart the server. Be
sure the template is
a) valid
b) only has content which is valid inside a body tag regarding the W3
HTML4 spec

It's not possible and I don't think that we'll work on this for 1.0 as
this would affect the API of RAP. But I think it should be somehow
possible from outside to redirect such requests to the right url.

So in the body element I should specify the path to the html file which
content conforms to your explanation above ?

The paramter is the value for the startup request parameter.

localhost:9090/rap?startup=foo --> entrypoint with paramter 'foo'
localhost:9090/rap?startup=bar --> entrypoint with paramter 'bar'
