PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore() without values? [message #657649] Thu, 03 March 2011 15:22 Go to next message

I'm currently working on deploying a RAP application to Tomcat. The application works fine when it's started with the jetty included in eclipse.

I use a org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.FilteredTree inside a view. When the application is deployed in tomcat, filteredTree.getFilterControl() returns a null value.

After checking the source of the RAP-FilteredTree, I found this code:

...
showFilterControls = PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().getBoolean(IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.SHOW_FILTERED_TEXTS);
...
if (showFilterControls) {
 // add filter controls 
}


So, it seems that showFilterControls has the correct value (true) when the application is started inside eclipse, and that it has the PreferenceStore's default value (which is false) when the application is deployed inside a war in tomcat.

In regards to that PreferenceStore, I found some info for RCP applications (which talk about .ini files where you can set values for the preferences in IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants). However, none of this seems to apply to RAP.

Could someone explain the mechanism in RAP that loads those settings or point me to some documentation that I can use?

Thanks in advance!

Some more information: I'm also getting the error-message
!MESSAGE Invalid value for org.eclipse.rap.ui/initialFastViewBarLocation preference.  Value "" should be one of "left", "bottom", or "right".

in the OSGI console when I start the application. This also hints to some problem with the preferences. Searching for the message provided this discussion:

http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.technology.rap /msg04164.html

where it turned out that it was a bug in some template. The bug was then fixed for RAP 1.2M5.


Perhaps searching in direction of some "template" may help me with my error. However, I have no idea what the mentioned template is, and what is it used for. Could someone explain it to me or point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

have you tried to clear your cookie cache in the browser just to make
sure that there are no stale preference data?

Regards, Ralf

Thanks for the suggestion - I just tried that, but sadly it did not help.

Hi,

it's hard to believe that the problem does only occur with Tomcat, but
not with Jetty, because there's no obvious difference that could affect
this kind of problems. Just to be sure could you try again to undeploy
your war, clean up your tomcat/work directory and then re-deploy? If you
did this *and* cleared your browser cookie cache and still get this
error, please open a new bug for it.

Thanks, Ralf

You are correct - I should have described it more exactly I guess. What happened was this:


When starting the application from inside Eclipse (with the embedded jetty) it works fine.

When deploying the application as .war file into a Tomcat or a standalone Jetty, it does not work.


The .war file is created in a headless build, so there is probably something wrong with the build process. However, I have no idea where to look for the error: Is something missing inside the .war? Is one of the various configuration files inside incomplete/incorrect? Something else?

The examples I found for deploying RAP applications as .war do not contain anything in regards to those preferences (as far as I can tell).

Hi,

it's very unlikely that his error has anything to do with the structure
of your war file. If your war file works and uses recent versions of the
rap bundles, please file a bug. We'll need some code or a good recipe how
to reproduce the problem.

I would however recommend to try the new war product tooling [1] to
create war files - it works like a charm...

Regards, Ralf

We are currently not using the newest RAP version, but only 1.4 M4 (due to problems with resolving references of the BIRT runtime we are using).

So, I will first try to use the current RAP version and see if the error persists. If so, I'll do a bugreport and supply you with the means to reproduce the bug.
