Hello,

is it possible with RAP to create a ViePart, that shows Files of PDJ, JPG, DOC or similar common File type? Perhaps, if the Browser has a Plugin for woking with that file type, i would like to open that file with the plugin and show it only i the view.

Thanx Edin

Hi Edin,

you can use the Browser widget to display all file types the browser is
capable of. I'm not sure about DOC, but I seem to remember that even this
can be done somehow. The browser widget would load the files from a URL,
they should be delivered by a ServiceHandler. You can derive your
solution from this recipe [1] in our FAQ.

Hope this helps, Ralf

Hello,

im trying to show a pdf doc in an browser Object.
When i set the url with setUrl method and give some http adress, everything works fine. i can change the url to another http url and browser reloads to the new pdf. But if i want to show some pdf from local file system i.e.
browser.setUrl("file:///d:/backup/file.pdf");
file doesnt get shown. If i add this file url manually to firefox, it gets shown.
any idea, what the reason might be?

Greetings Edin

Hi Edin,
due to browser security policies, it's not possible to show a file from
the local file system (forced by javascript). I will suggest to register
the "file.pdf" as a resource on the server and show it to the clients
with http protocol.
HTH,
Ivan

Thnx Ivan,

can you give me an example how to register a ressource?
I have an order c:/backup and the apps http is
http://127.0.0.1:8080/webapp?startup=hello
the content of backup increases every time a user uploads sth. He also have a list of backup files and i want him be able to open that file by doubleclick in rap browser.
that means, i must somehow register not only a static pdf file, but c:/backup folder and access all of the backup files with http, even the new uploaded one, without restarting the app and registering it the plugin.xml
I found this on Eclipse RAP FAQ Page:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.resources">
<resource
alias="/"
base-name="resources">
</resource>
</extension>
can you explain me how to use it on my given folder and my app http adress?
Thnx, Edin

Hi Edin,
the RAP FAQ page that explain how to register a resource (file/folder)
is here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/RAP/FAQ#How_to_register_a_file.2Ffol der_as_resource.3F
The important point here is that your folder must be under your project
folder. For example, to map the folder ".../<project_name>/backup" to
|"http://<url_to_rap_server>/backup"| use:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.resources">
<resource
alias="/backup"
base-name="backup">
</resource>
</extension>
HTH,
Ivan
