Re: [aperi-dev] Problem with th dataserver

Hey Ben,

It's nice to hear someone is trying
to extend the functionality of the Data Server ;-) ... Adding the org.eclipse.aperi.server
package to the list of packages exported by the org.eclipse.aperi.server.data
plugin is not a hack. It, along with the other packages in that plugin,
should be exported to allow people to build on top of the Data Server.
I'll open a bug report to address that issue.

Subject	[aperi-dev] Problem with th dataserver

Hello,

I am a master student at the University of Tübingen in Germany, and  
I'm currently programming a bunch of plugins for Aperi.

I have developed one plugin for the dataserver, and one plugin for
the GUI. They should communicate like shown in the wiki
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Aperi_Data_Server_R2_Extensibility#How_do_you_create_and_register_a_new_request_handler.3F).
However, communication doesn't work.

My problem is with the RequestHandler interface. I need the  
RequestHandler class from the dataserver-plugin, because my own  
Handler imports it. But the RequestHandler class is not in an exported
 
package. So I get errors.

My preliminary solution was to add the package  
org.eclipse.aperi.server in the plugin org.eclipse.aperi.server.data  
to the set of exported packages.
Now communication works, and there is no problem with "initiating
 
MyHndlr failed" errors.
However, my solution seems to be more of a "hack" than a clean
solution.

Is there perhaps a better way to do it?
I think what I mentioned should be a problem with all plugins that  
want to use the service providers from the dataserver.

Best regards,

Benjamin Marstaller
