Hi there,

I'm new on RAP.

I working on an app and I'm using the fancy theme. After deploying the .war file to Tomcat, the default theme is used and not the Fancy one. This is how i'm using it.

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.rap.ui.branding">
      <branding
            defaultEntrypointId="org.vsoft.vmenu.web.vmenuapp"
            id="org.vsoft.vmenu.web.branding"
            servletName="vmenu"
            themeId="org.eclipse.rap.design.example.fancy.theme"
            title="VSoft Menu">
         <presentationFactory
               defaultLayoutId="org.eclipse.rap.design.example.fancy.layout"
               id="org.eclipse.rap.design.example.fancy.factory"
               name="Fancy PresentationFactory">
            <defaultStackPresentation
                  id="org.eclipse.rap.design.example.stack.view">
            </defaultStackPresentation>
         </presentationFactory>
      </branding>
   </extension>

Pls, help, what am i missing?

It works when running in eclipse.

Hi,

the business and fancy themes are contributed by the bundle
org.eclipse.rap.design.example. Do you have this one up and running in
your web app? If you are unsure, enable the OSGi console in the web.xml.

The command `ss` in the OSGi console prints a list of all bundles and
their states.

Regards, Ralf

Thank you Ralf for your answer.

The bundle is up and runnig:

32 ACTIVE org.eclipse.rap.design.example_1.5.0.201205011640
33 ACTIVE org.vsoft.vmenu.web_1.0.0.201205011640

I found a post (i couldn't place the link not sure why) but with subject "theme not used when deployed to tomcat"

but, still haven't been able to make it work.

This is what i have.

The servletName is vnenu, as you can see.
And i am creating vmenu.war file.

Based on help for servletName field, apps should be available at host:port/servlet. This works in eclipse, but not in tomcat. I am accessing my app as follows:

localhost:8080/vmenu/rap?startup=org.vsoft.vmenu.web.vmenuapp

Why is not working as help states? What am i missing?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I was able to make theme working in tomcat by specifying the URL localhost:port/myapp/myapp.

why it has to be this way?

Why it is not working like in eclipse just with localhot:port/myapp?

Can someone point me where to read about this?

thanks all in advance.

Hugo,

the first myapp in "localhost:port/myapp/myapp" denotes the web-app
name, the second one is the servlet-name.

The OSGi http service by default deploys to the "root web-app". This is
why you don't need to specify the web-app name in the URL.

See the servlet specification and/or Tomcat/Jetty documentation for
further information.

Hi Hugo,

one small addition: in a RAP launch configuration, you can set the
"Context Path" to "myapp" too. With this setting, you get the same URL
in Eclipse as you would have in a tomcat deployment.

Regards, Ralf
