Hi anonymous,

JFree can be used with RAP, if you write a servlet that returns the chart as an image. Refer to the following threads in the Eclipse RAP newsgroup:

* Charts in RAP
* Jfree

Thanks much for the tutorial. I am new to RAP and wondering whether or not it is worth investing time in. For example, my current RCP app use JFreeChart SWT graphics, I have no clue how RAP would implement these in an RIA?

I was getting Http error -404.later I realized my mistake.I was creating the war file not from some other directory which caused including some other unnecessary files in war.Thats why my webapp manager was not properly deploying the war file.When I did from the directory just above the WEB-INF,it worked perfectly fine

Hi Anonymous,

I've used Tomcat 5.5.25 and 5.5.26.

I haven't tried tomcat 6.x but according to this thread on the newsgroup, there have been some problems (similar to yours) with it.

Hope this helps,
Elias.

Hi Setya,

great to hear you were successful.

The /rap suffix can be changed to anything you like. Refer to the help on RAP Branding for details.

Hi,

Despite the aforementioned problems I have successfully deployed the application.

BTW, is suffix /rap an absolute requirement to access the RAP application ?

Thanks,

Hi Elias,On Linux, Tomcat does not open 2nd consol...

2008-04-08T21:24:00.000-07:00

Hi Elias,

On Linux, Tomcat does not open 2nd console as in Windows, this 2nd console is in fact the OSGI console. You have to manually open 2nd console and invoke command tail -f catalina.out.

Also when I deploy on Linux Tomcat keeps throwing words 'OSGI>' in its catalina.out until I shutdown. I firstly did not realize this until suddenly the catalina.out grew up to 1.3GB.

The problem above was asked here :

http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.technology.rap/msg01422.html

On Windows, when I deploy the calculator example I can use the OSGI console but not all bundles are automatically activated. I have to activate them manually using 'start' command. But when I try to activate org.eclipse.equinox.servletbridge.extensionbundle_1.0.0 it throws :

org.osgi.framework.BundleException: A fragment bundle cannot be started: update@plugins/org.eclipse.

2008-04-08T12:54:00.000-07:00

Hi setya,

normally you should have the OSGi console once you add "-console" to the launch config.

For the deployed version check that you have this snippet in the web.xml file:



<init-param>
<param-name>commandline</param-name>> <param-value>-console</param-value>
</init-param>

You can find the full example by checking out /org.eclipse.rap.demo.feature/templates/WEB-INF/web.xml from CVS.

AFAIK, it should work under linux too.

Hope this helps,
Elias.

2008-04-08T03:36:00.000-07:00

Hi Elias,

Thank you for the tutorial.

Have you tried to deploy it under Linux ? I can't find OSGI console when deploying under Linux.

2008-03-25T15:39:00.000-07:00

Hi Alden,

unfortunately I do not have a Websphere installation available, so I can't help you.

Try to ask this on the RAP Newsgroup...

Elias.

2008-03-14T17:06:00.000-07:00

Hi -
I also appreciate your screencast - nice work. I'd like to see RAP become an alternative for my customers in the future as it is very interesting technology.

I tried to deploy to WebSphere 6.1 and had some difficulty. Has anyone deployed to this environment? My error message is "BundleException: The activator ...http.servletbridge.internal.Activator for bundle ...http.servletbridge is invalid". The reason stated is "The type javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet cannot be resolved."

It seems odd to me that this very standard interface would not be resolved.

Any ideas? Is this because WebSphere in version 6.1 is also an osgi implementation? I do not see any equinox plugins with the application server, but I do see org.eclipse.osgi_3.1.2.jar and org.eclipse.core.runtime_3.1.2.jar among others in the application server plugins directory.

I wonder if my error is because the version of eclipse core and osgi is 3.1? The documentation suggests a version of equinox being either 3.2 or 3.3.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Alden

2008-02-14T06:23:00.000-08:00

Hi

first of all, nice work. Thanks a lot.

to the question of anonymous, I had the same problem.

Check the content of the servletbridge.jar, the class should be there. My mistake was in the webappBuilder.xml. I added the path to org.eclipse.equinox.http.servletbridge, the correct value should be without .http

Hi

Joining the question.
I was able to deploy the finished example you gave, but couldn't make one myself.

I'm totally new to RCP/RAP development so if you can give more details that would be great.

I'm using Eclipse 3.3 J2EE configuration with the RAP plugin.

2007-12-14T09:23:00.000-08:00

Hi Alias.
Thanks for the tuorial.
I have tried to deploy my app without success. I am able to start OSGI (as I cam able to type ss in the console and see the status of bundles ) but not able to run the app in the browser. How does one specify which port? Is the Equinox launcher neccessary for deployment? Should org.eclipse.rap.demo pluin be included in the feature? If you could shed more light on the whole deployment process I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks, Anon
