Re: [platform-core-dev] How to run eclipse platform as a tomcat servlet

[Dorian Birsan <birsan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In 2.0.2 help infocenter, we had eclipse
running from a servlet, and the setup is described here: 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform-help-home/infocenter202.html

The special setup was needed to overcome
Java limitations that allow setting only one URLStreamHandler factory (both
Eclipse and the app servers set their own url handlers), and to deal with
class loading issues in the XML parser.

Do a search on the newsgroup and on
the platform-help-dev mailing list, there has been some discussion on this
topic (related to help, but probably useful).

Now, the wish list for help is have
the native support from the Eclipse core to be embeddable in a container
that sets its own URLStreamHandlerFactory. Likely, eclipse+osgi would have
to construct URL's by using the URL(protocol, host, port, file, handler)
constructor.

The Help guys looked at this at one point I think.  I don't think
anyone in Core land has tried/knows.  Perhaps try the help folks.

Hi

I would like to use the EMF Framework inside a web application. 
Is it possible to launch the eclipse platform inside a servlet?
Are there exampes how to do that?
What are the prerequisite plugins to launch the platform?

Thanks.

Regards,
Andreas
