Using Eclipse as WebServer? [message #289802] Wed, 10 August 2005 20:18 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm currently writing an Eclipse Plug-In which shall controll a number
of remote agents implemented as java applets. Certainly I need a
WebServer that provides the applets.
As far as I know the Eclipse help is composed of html sites. So I would
like to ask whether these html sites are provided by an Eclipse own
WebServer or is there just a WebBrowser integrated to open the files.
I'm interested in this because if the help is provided by an Eclipse own
WebServer I would like to use this server for providing my applets
instead of using a stand-alone Server like the Apache.
Further, if it is possible I appreciate when someone could tell me how
to get access to the WebServer.


thx

As I can tell about the implementation on Windows, the internal IE interface
provided by windows is used by eclipse. At least on my comuter. About the
other platforms I don't know.

BTW, you don't need a webserver to display html pages. A full featured
webserver is a very complex thing.

An alternative you should consider is embedding Jetty
(http://jetty.mortbay.org) in your plugin. Jetty is a lightweight, open
source web/app server that is designed to be embedded within applications.

HTH,

Isn't Eclipse using Tomcat for this purpose? Well, definitely there's a
plugin org.eclipse.tomcat in the Eclipse distribution. If that's the
case, using it seems to be a good idea. But I really don't know how to
do that, sorry.
