Re: [platform-help-dev] launching a url

To open a feature - also known as enhancement, use bugzilla (eclipse.org,
click on "bugs").  When filling in the bug report, set severity to
"enhancement".

The URL not working the first time, might be because it is an internal URL,
and hence does not need to trigger the code to initialize infocenter.
Opening help through public URL like //server:8080/ischelp/ is causing
initialization.  Also calling an init servlet (again it is internal and
might change in post 2.0.x builds)
http://server:8080/ischelp/servlet/org.eclipse.help.servlet.InitServlet
would do it.
If you add a code to your application to do a GET from
http://server:8080/ischelp/servlet/org.eclipse.help.servlet.InitServlet,
before opening the browser should solve the problem.

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply

We would definitely need this feature,
how can i open this feature?

Also there is one distinct behaviour and that is
I first install the eclipse infocenter, and add my plugin with the doc.zip.
And i do not browse it directly from the help  http://server/help
NOw thru the browser i send a request to my product, and my product
redirects it to the eclipse url
which is like this
http://server:8080/ischelp/content/help:/pluginId/path_to_file.html

My problem is that the browser is not able to load thsi url,

Although once  i open the help directly
using http://server/help, and then open the doc through navigation tree, it
opens.
And after i have opened it once directly,

Next time when i send the request again thru the browser to the product,
and the product redirects it to the
http://server:8080/ischelp/content/help:/pluginId/path_to_file.html, the
browser loads the page.

Is there any work around to this problem,
Thanks a lot for the help,
Shikha

What you have should work in the 2.0.x drivers but not in the 2.1 drivers.
It is just a (positive) side-effect of how help is implemented, and it
certainly exposes some internal help url's that are not guaranteed to work
in future eclipse drivers.
If you need this functionality, please open a feature and we would
certainly give it some attention.

Hi  All
In my product  i need to launch help topics  without frames. I am using
http://server:8080/ischelp/content/help:/pluginId/path_to_file.html

to launch help html file  in a browser with no navigation frames, no search
etc..

Does this sound good.
Shikha
