EntryPoint
.
An application can register several entrypoints, each at a different URL path. To access an entry point, the path that it is registered at must be appended to the context path of the application.
As an alternative to registering an entrypoint, Eclipse applications can also use the interface IApplication
.

EntryPoint
which starts the application. Either this attribute or applicationId must be specified.<extension id="org.eclipse.rap.demo.demoentrypoint" point="org.eclipse.rap.ui.entrypoint"> <entrypoint id="example.entrypoint" class="example.MyEntrypoint" path="/myapp"/> </extension>
EntryPoint
.
In the createUI() method, the user interface of the application is created.
An entrypoint for a simple RAP application could look like this:
public class MyEntryPoint implements EntryPoint {
public int createUI() {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell( display );
shell.setLayout( new GridLayout() );
Label label = new Label( shell, SWT.NONE );
label.setText( "Hello World!" );
shell.layout();
shell.open();
return 0;
}
}
