Eclipse RAP: How to access deployed application - eclipse-plugin

Question

I created a helloworld eclipse RAP project and run it eclipse itself.It is working fine.
After that I exported the RAP project to war file by using the eclipse war product configuration.
It created the war file.I deployed the war file in tomcat. After that when I try to access
the war deployed helloworld application, I am getting status 404 error.
http://127.0.0.1:8080/helloworld
I searched in internet and checked for troubleshooting and they mentioned to check in web.xml
all the entries are available or not. I confirmed it is available. Also I checked application structure.
It is fine as it is suggested. Could any one help me how to access the deployed application in tomcat?
Or is there any other server I can use in order to make it work quickly?

Answer 1

I suppose that the war file is named helloworld.war and http://127.0.0.1:8080/helloworld is the URL of your application.
If your entrypoint is not registered at the root path, you have to add the entrypoint name to the URL, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8080/helloworld/entrypoint.
Alternatively, you can register the application at the root path in your ApplicationConfiguration:
application.addEntryPoint("/", YourEntryPoint.class, properties);
Then you should be able to access it at http://127.0.0.1:8080/helloworld.
Update:
If you use extension points, configure the path in your entrypoint extension, for example:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.rap.ui.entrypoint">
<entrypoint
class="example.MyEntrypoint"
path="/" />
</extension>
