Re: [rap-dev] RAP Navigation

Aleksander,

the mailing-list is for development related communication only.
Please use the newsgroups for questions, support and information
exchange between users and developers of RAP:
   http://eclipse.org/rap/support.php#newsgroup
Chances are that you will get a more many-sided answer as most users read the newsgroup but few also read the mailing list.

Regarding oyur question: I am not sure what exactly is "pretty static" when considering the appraoch of the RAP examples app. A pagebook can contain anything. A sligh variation would be to have distinct views that represent "application objects". An alternative that is sometimes chosen is to use perspectives, where each perspective represents an application object or workflow.

If you are new to RCP and RAP, make sure to understand the technologies [1], especially the workbench section.

Please continue the discussion on the newsgroup.

Regards
Rüdiger

Hello list,

I'm new to eclipse RCP and RAP development. Although I'm pretty
impressed with the things that could be done with RAP, I'm struggling
with a pretty simple question: What is the proper way to implement web
site navigation in RAP?
Currently I'm working on a rap application which controls another
non-gui server application. The rap application will be the web front
end for the server application. I'm trying to make it like a normal web
site, with a navigation menu and a content area, which changes based on
what you click in the navigation menu. The menu should contain common
options like to show the start page, the status of the application,
create new or delete old application objects and so on but I'm not sure
how to make this. I was thinking about making it like the rap examples
project, with a single perspective and a list view for the navigation.
But the problem is that it uses two other views and a pagebook to demo
all the examples, which is pretty static for my needs. Like the content
area could be a wizard for creating a new object or it could be an
object explorer with an object view which allows you to review and
delete objects, or it could be a single view displaying the status of
the server program, or it could be as simple as a static html page.

best regards,
Aleksandar
