Hi everybody?

I have a simple question.
My goal is to provide remote accessing functionality in my own resource browsing tree (kind of eclipse project).
We're using SSH to access remote server now.

First of all, I've created IHost instance

ISystemRegistry sr = SystemStartHere.getSystemRegistry();	
ISystemProfile profile = sr.getSystemProfileManager().createSystemProfile(profileName, true);		
IRSESystemType systemType = RSECorePlugin.getTheCoreRegistry().getSystemTypeById("org.eclipse.rse.systemtype.ssh");
IHost host = sr.createHost(profileName, systemType, connectionName, apInfo.getIp(), connectionDesc,  apInfo.getId(), IRSEUserIdConstants.USERID_LOCATION_HOST, configurators);


But SSH system type had three SubSystems (SSH.Files, SSH.Terminal, SSH.Shell)
And the last parameter of createHost() 'configurators' is a kind of constructor for each sub systems I think.
Actually SSH.Terminal and Shell is not fit for me but it's not a problem at now. Smile

I have a question at this point...
How can I create each configurator instances for thress sub systems?
Source file of org.eclipse.rse.ui.wizard looks tightly coupled with IWizard.
But I would like to make a connection and retrieve directory and files without UI.
Is there any simple instruction or sample source files for it?
I've searched this forum but I didn't find it.

I would appreciate any comments.
Have a nice day~

Hi Mark,

I think that the EclipseCon 2007 Tutorial on RSE should answer most of
your questions:

http://www.eclipsecon.org/2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=36 51

Click the "Presentation File" link on top in order to download a ZIP
that includes the presentation as well as the sample code.

Regarding the subsystem configurators, these are not required for you.
You'd only use these when custom wizard pages should be added ... in
your (non-UI) case, the systemType will already automatically drag in
all the subsystems that are configured against it. If you need to change
properties, you can change subsystem configuration by iterating over the
IHost's subsystems and accessing the property sets. More details in the
mentioned presentation.

HTH,
Martin

First of all, Thank you for your comments..
It is great materials to me and also helpful.
However, I have another question now. Very Happy

I've also tested from Ex.1: Creating a Connection to Ex2. Event Logging and it was fully understandable and works great!
But there is no futher explanation about SystemRemoteFileDialog right after the Ex2 in the material you mentioned.

Although there was a explanation about subsystem and service layers, but I couldn't understand well. So I double checked source file of org.eclipse.rse.ui.SystemRemoteFileDialog. It was also coupled with eclipse ui like SystemView, SafeTreeViewer and etc in the long run.
And section Ex.3: Upload also used SystemRemoteFolderDialog.

According to the documents, should I use services in order to read remote directories and files instead of subsystem?
If right, how can I get SftpFileService instance from IHost?

Thanks and have a nice day~

Hi Mark,

The Subsystem layer is meant to be hi-level and the one to be used by
your clients. I think David McKnight mentioned this on the newsgroup
before. RSE UI Widgets all operate on the Subsystem layer.

The Services layer is meant to make it easier for implementers to
provide new kinds of communication channel.

There are very few exceptions in which the services layer might provide
functionality better than subsystem, because it's slightly more modern
API and closer to the remote. But in general, you should stick with
using subsystem as a client and services as an implementer.

I hope that SystemRemoteFolderDialog explains itself if your read its
API Javadoc, Source and examples.

HTH,
Martin
