[platform-help-dev] format in the toc.xml file to access files in directories outside the plugins directory


Hi,

When using Eclipse Help, the documents within a plugin are accessed by a URL of this form:

http://server_name:8543/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.datum.help.doc/index.htm

The link in the toc.xml file for accessing the index.htm file looks like this:

<topic href="" label="Index"/>

Only files within the plugin directory are accessible in this way.

Is it possible to access files outside the plugin directory?

For example:

If there is a directory called books in the same level as the plugins directory, how will a document within the books directory be accessible.

What would the entry for accessing that file look like in the toc.xml file?

I tried doing this:

<topic href="" label="Index"/>

but the URL changes to

http://server_name:8543/help/index.jsp?topic=/books/index.htm

and does not find the file.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Regards,

Probir
