Is it possible to serve two different themes to two users within one RAP/RWT application instance?

A use case would be to display different logo/title/colors to users based on their organization in a multi-branded cloud web app.

Hi David,
branding (theming) is attached to the entrypoint (servlet path). You
could register two entry points (same class) with different themes:
.....
Map<String, String> properties = new HashMap<String, String>();
properties.put( WebClient.THEME_ID, "foo" );
application.addEntryPoint( "/foo", MyEntry.class, properties );
properties = new HashMap<String, String>();
properties.put( WebClient.THEME_ID, "bar" );
application.addEntryPoint( "/bar", MyEntry.class, properties );
application.addStyleSheet( "foo", "theme/foo.css" );
application.addStyleSheet( "bar", "theme/bar.css" );
......
HTH,
Ivan

Thanks, Ivan. This allows to reuse the same entry point class with different paths and themes. This will force me, however, to a) add extra path level to all URLs and b) create new path for every new group of users with custom theme.

Searching more forums, I've found class
org.eclipse.rap.rwt.internal.theme.ThemeUtil
with method
setCurrentThemeId(UISession uiSession, String themeId)
- a per-session theme setting! The signature is just what I need, but unfortunately it did not work (I was setting theme and called relayout of main shell in button selection handler). Ultimately, I'd like to set a theme for user after he logs in without adding extra paths, if possible.

I've also found some mentions that switching theme in runtime was not possible in 1.2 (2008-2009), could it possibly change?

Hi David,
switching theme in runtime is still not possible and it's not in our
plan to impplement for RAP 2.2-2.3. Using different servlet paths is the
only way to go.
Best,
Ivan

Hi,


We also have a similar need. In our case the application administrator is the one choosing the theme and the theme has to be applied to all users connecting to the platform.

In this case having an URL per theme is no really acceptable.

I wasn't able to find an enhancement request/bug talking about this should I create one?
