[ews.eclipse.technology.rap] Re: Problem in deploying my first RAP appli

Hi Kay,

the key you need to select an entrypoint is the url is "startup", not 
"entry". Maybe this already solves your problem.
eg. http://localhost/jobentry/rap (which delegates to "default" if 
nothing is specificed)
or
http://localhost/jobentry/rap?startup=myentrypointparameter

There are several other things you need to take into account if the 
deployment does not work. See 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/RAP/FAQ#Exported_.war_does_not_work
