Problems with theming in the WAR-File [message #985343]

Hi,

I've problems theming the version exported as war-File to use it in an external application server (tjws in my case). The program is running fine, as well in the rap's internal appserver (jetty) during running it in eclipse itself.

But it seems that the exported war file ignores my theming settings.

As a sidenote, i need to access it via http:// localhost:8182/stationaer/rap?startup=stationaer, while using eclipse I can use http:// 127.0.0.1:10080/stationaer ...
I tried following:

In the plugin.xml:

...
<extension
      point="org.eclipse.rap.ui.entrypoint">
   <entrypoint
         class="de.mifritscher.stationaer.rap.EntryPoint"
         id="stationaer.entrypoint1"
         path="/stationaer"
         parameter="stationaer">
   </entrypoint>
</extension>
<extension
      point="org.eclipse.rap.ui.branding">
   <branding
         defaultEntrypointId="stationaer.entrypoint1"
         id="stationaer.branding1"
         servletName="stationaer"
         themeId="stationaer.defaulttheme" <-- (1) changing to the business theme does only work in eclipse+jetty...
         title="Stationaer">
   </branding>
</extension>
<extension
      point="org.eclipse.rap.ui.themes">
   <theme
         file="css/defaulttheme.css"
         id="stationaer.defaulttheme"
         name="Standard">
   </theme>
   <themeContribution
         file="css/defaulttheme.css"
         themeId="org.eclipse.rap.design.example.business.theme">
   </themeContribution>
   <themeContribution
         file="css/defaulttheme.css"
         themeId="org.eclipse.rap.rwt.theme"> <-- (2) the tooltip says that I can use this id to change the default theme, but I get a warning in the eclipse's editor saying that this id doesn't exist
   </themeContribution>
</extension>
...

build.properties:

source.. = src/
output.. = bin/
bin.includes = plugin.xml,\
               META-INF/,\
               .,\
               libs/,\
               pictures/,\
               html/,\
               css/,\
               ormliteLocalLog.properties,\
               js/

But nor my defaulttheme.css nor trying to use the business theme (1) works. See also (2) - The tooltip says that I can use this id to change the default theme, but I get a warning in the eclipse's editor saying that this id doesn't exist.

What can I do? I'm using RAP 1.5.1 btw.

Hi Michael,

Here are a few hints, hope they are helpful:

> As a sidenote, i need to access it via http://

Brandings don't work for entrypoints by path in RAP 1.5 [1]. This
problem has been resolved in RAP 2.0 M3 [2]. If it works for you in
Eclipse, maybe you're using different RAP versions in the IDE and in the
WAR deployment?

BTW, you can add the context path ("/stationaer/") also to your launch
configuration in the IDE to have the same paths as in deployment.

> (2) the tooltip says that I can use this id to change the default
> theme ...

This attibute is used to specify an existing theme to contribute to. At
least in master, the documentation states "the id of the theme this
extension contributes to"

Hi Ralf,

thanks for the hints - Yes, I had tried 2.0 M2 or 3 some time ago, but removed it. But I'll try 2.0 anyway Wink

Yes, so the tooltip in eclipse, but it also says that I can use the id "org.eclipse.rap.rwt.theme" as a sort of special ID if I want to change the default theme.

Thanks,
Michael
