RCP with webservice using internal Tomcat plugin [message #428025]

Hi,

I trying to add some remote administration features to my RCP application.
For this I would like to enable the different services/components to
talk between each other directly in the same JVM OR to remotely through
a webserver.

I have found that the help plugin, which I will use in the future
contains already the Tomcat installation.

I would like to reuse the org.eclipse.tomcat plugin to host my servlet
instead of adding an external Tomcat server.

I have found several tutorial on developping for Tomcat, but nothing on
the internal tomcat server...

Does anyone have any experience on using the internal Tomcat server ?

Thanks,

Cédric

PS: I am planning to use the lightweight Burlap protocol for the
webservice communication

If you insist that you MUST use Tomcat...there is an article about
stripping tomcat for personal application use on onjava.com. However-I
would suggest using Jetty.

I would like not to bundle a big piece software when a similar software
is already present in the distribution...

If jetty library size is not too big I will give it a try.

Thanks for the pointer.

Eclipse help system has an `intenal' extension point for the web
application.
http://help.eclipse.org/help30/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_help_base_webap p.html
#This extension point is used by org.eclipse.help.webapp plugin.

Probably, you can use this internal extension point. But I think that
it is hard to use an internal server, because default port is
automatically selected for the help broswer.

I have a very similar problem. I'd like to have a webservice within my RCP-Application. Therefor I need a Tomcat that corresponses with my businesslogic that resists in my plugins. I wonder how I can build this connection between a Servlet and my plugins.
