I switched recently from RAP 1.4(Eclipse 3.7,jvm 1.6) to RAP 1.5 (eclipse 3.8, jvm 1.7)
In the 1.4 version of our RAP product help system is working fine, in 1.5 doesn't work anymore.
The help files are organized..
Plugin...
-src
-help
- html
Toc.xml
The extension point
<extension
point="org.eclipse.help.toc">
<toc
file="help/toc.xml"
primary="true">
</toc>

</extension>
The help is invoked by opening a browser:
IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IWorkbenchBrowserSupport browserSupport = workbench.getBrowserSupport();
try
{
IWebBrowser browser = browserSupport.createBrowser("helpBrowser"); //$NON-NLS-1$
browser.openURL(getUrl());
}
catch (PartInitException e)
{
Activator.getDefault().logError(getClass(), e);
}
private static URL getUrl()
{
StringBuffer sb = RWT.getRequest().getRequestURL();
String urlString = sb.toString();
urlString = StringUtils.removeEnd(urlString, ApplicationConstants.APPLICATION_ROOT);
urlString = urlString + "/index.jsp";//$NON-NLS-1$
try
{
return new URL(urlString);
}
catch (MalformedURLException e)
{
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Failed to construct URL.");
}
}

When opening the url we got 404 message in RAP 1.5 only.

What can I do about it,
Thank you.

Do you know when the fix will be incorporated into RAP?
I am not sure if my company policy allows shipping with a patch applied outside of RAP itself development.
Thank you,
Ana

Hi Ana,
I didn't investigate what is the problem, but from reading the code of
the proposed attached patch, it modifies *only* the original Eclipse
help bundles (not part of the RAP framework) in order to work correctly
with RAP. Without further investigation, I couldn't say if it's possible
to make the help system works again without these modifications. Are you
using the same Eclipse Help bundles that worked before, but not with 1.5?
Best,
Ivan

Before I used the help bundles from 3.7, now are the ones from 3.8.

You could try to use your old help bundles with RAP 1.5.

I cannot use just the old help bundles.
To use those, I need the old lucene ones, and those requires an old version of jasper .
See below the diag from Tomcat's console:

Hi Ana,
if you think that this is a problem in RAP framework (not in the new
help and related bundles), please open a bugzilla with a simple project
to reproduce the issue.
Best,
Ivan
