Javascript for the entrypoint

[nicxlab]

Hi, what is the most effective way of injecting a Javascript on the HTML body of the workbench entrypoint?

Thank you!

Yes... Look at org.eclipse.rap.ui.resources extension point. Use RAP org.eclipse.rap.ui.forms as an example how to do it.

Hi Ivan, Thank you! However, I'm looking to do it on the startup similar to ApplicationConfiguration where the WebClient.BODY_HTML can be added in the properties. Is there anyway to do it without using ApplicationConfiguration for a workbench app?
For example:

Map<String, String> properties = new HashMap<String, String>();
properties.put( WebClient.PAGE_TITLE, "RAP Example" );
properties.put( WebClient.BODY_HTML, "<script>...</script>" );
properties.put( WebClient.FAVICON, "icons/favicon.png" );
application.addEntryPoint( "/example", Example.class, properties );

Is the ClientFileLoader service can be use in this case?

The resources (JS files) loaded by org.eclipse.rap.ui.resources extension point are concatenated in a single resources.js file and loaded immediately after RAP client in the HTML body. It's exactly the equivalent of :

properties.put( WebClient.BODY_HTML, "<script>...</script>" );
