RWT Standalone [message #81968]

Hi,

IŽm just trying to investigate RWT Standalone.
But somehow, I canŽt get it to work, what I get is

org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Invalid thread access

I couldnŽt find any tutorial or information about that, I read the one
post which describes which libraries to use, but seems that is not enough.
Some ideas?

We use RWT standalone without problems
in Tomcat.
 
 (currently use M2 + M3)
 
 Since we needed some time to find out
how it was done, maybe the following information might help you to find
the missing pieces in your puzzle:
 
 1) We use the following jars from RAP:

         -
org.eclipse.core.commands
         -
org.eclipse.equinox.common
         -
org.eclipse.rap.jface
         -
org.eclipse.rap.rwt
 
 2) We have a normal implementation of
IEntryPoint.createUI
 ----------
          
      Display display = new
Display();
          
      Shell shell = new
Shell(display);
 
          
      shell.open();
          
      shell.setMaximized(true);
          
      while
(!shell.isDisposed()) {
          
              if
(!display.readAndDispatch()) {
          
               
      display.sleep();
          
              }
          
      }
          
      return
0;
 ----------
 
 2) In WEB-INF/conf we have a w4t.xml:
 (a question to the RAP developers - will this hopefully be obsolete
in the future ? We'd like to have it in the web.xml as well )
 
 ----------
 <?xml
version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <w4t:application
xmlns:w4t="<a href=http://w4toolkit.com/>http://w4toolkit.com/</a>"
      
  xmlns:xsi="<a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance</a>"
      
  xsi:schemaLocation="<a href=http://w4toolkit.com/>http://w4toolkit.com/</a>
w4t.xsd ">
         <initialisation>
          
      <lifecycle>
          
              org.eclipse.rwt.internal.lifecycle.RWTLifeCycle
          
      </lifecycle>
         </initialisation>
 </w4t:application>
 ----------
 
 3) In WEB-INF we have a simple web.xml:
 
 -----------
 <?xml
version="1.0"
encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
 <web-app
xmlns="<a href=http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee>http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee</a>"
      
  xmlns:xsi="<a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance</a>"
      
  xsi:schemaLocation="<a href=http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee>http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee</a>
<a href="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd</a>"
      
  version="2.4">
 
         <display-name>Welcome
to Tomcat</display-name>
         <description>Welcome
to Tomcat</description>
 
         <context-param>
          
      <param-name>org.eclipse.rwt.entryPoints</param-name>
          
      <param-value>de.tolina.web.RAPEntryPoint</param-value>
         </context-param>
 
         <listener>
          
      <listener-class>
          
              org.eclipse.rwt.internal.engine.RWTServletContextListener
          
      </listener-class>
         </listener>
 
         <servlet>
          
      <servlet-name>rapServlet</servlet-name>
          
      <servlet-class>
          
              org.eclipse.rwt.internal.engine.RWTDelegate
          
      </servlet-class>
         </servlet>
 
         <servlet-mapping>
          
      <servlet-name>rapServlet</servlet-name>
          
      <url-pattern>/main</url-pattern>
         </servlet-mapping>
 </web-app>
 -----------
 
 4) You can use different features (branding
+ theming), that normally are done with extension points by specifiying
some variables.
 This is optional:
 
         <context-param>
          
      <param-name>org.eclipse.rwt.themes</par am-name> 
          
      <param-value>useradmin#theme/theme.properties& amp;lt;/param-value> 
         </context-param>
 
         <context-param>
          
      <param-name>org.eclipse.rwt.brandings</ param-name> 
          
      <param-value>rap.RAPUseradminBranding</ param-value> 
         </context-param>
 
 Hope this helps you
?

Hi,

thanks for the detailed instructions.
Regarding your question about W4T.xml: yes this file will become
obsolete one day. But as this file is necessary to maintain
compatibility with W4Toolkit, we can only remove it when there are
no more W4Toolkit users.

Cheers,
Rüdiger

Is there anything interesting that could
be configured there for non W4T-users ?
 
 Otherwise wouldn't it be possible just
to have a fallback - if that file doesn't exist, than take a simple default
(actually there is only one listener registered) ?
 
 Kind regards, 
 
 Stefan

Stefan,

you are right, the only sensible thing to be configured here is the
RWTLifeCycle.
There are default values defined, but as said, we can't change these
without breaking W4Toolkit applications.

Cheers,
Rüdiger
