Hello guys,

we are developing an Eclipse RAP Application and the Runtime Server is a Tomcat 7 instance.

I gave it a quick shot and followed Holger's tutorial and it works like a charme.
http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2011/01/17/how-to-build-a-rap-application-with-tycho/

The only thing that is annoying is the static config.ini file. Is it possible to create this file dynamic, so that an automatic build can be achieved?

If not, are there any other possibilites? Our goal is to create an CI Job, where the final artifcat is a WAR File, without manually adjusting the config.ini

Regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias,

I suggest that you have a closer look into our examples projects that we are developing in RAP. They can be found in the main RAP Runtime Git repository [1].

If you just want to look at the build files, you can open [2] in your browser. This is the build project that we are using to create the .war files for our three demo applications. Drill down into `rapdemo` and you will find the standard product configuration org.eclipse.rap.examples.rapdemo.product

We are using this product configuration in our product-based build. This build creates the config.ini on the fly with the content from the product configuration. Unfortunately we've to tweak the generated config.ini a bit - this is done in the pom.xml of the project with maven-replacer-plugin.

The overall build follows 3 simple steps:

1 - run a standard product based build
2 - tweak the config.ini a bit (add servletbridge.extensionbundle, remove javax.servlet)
3 - assemble the .war file and add the root files (web.xml, launch.ini).

Hope that helps...

Thanks,
Markus
