Hi Bruno,
Thanks for the quick response. You comments have spawned some ideas! Although I
won't
get to try anything else for a few days (I'm being pulled in several different
directions by the management!!), I will get back to it next week and keep the
thread
informed of my progress.
I should point out a couple of things that on second look are confusing.
First, the web.xml that I had in the initial posting isn't something I had been
using
been using while running the code as the Java application I was spreaking of.
The application I got working actually consists of a JAva application main()
that calls the start method of an org.restlet Component class. I created a
class that
extends org.restlet.Component (ServicesComponent) and the main starts it
something like
this
org.restlet.Component component = new ServicesComponent();
component.getDefaultHost()
.attach("",
new ServicesApplication(component.getContext()
.createChildContext()));
component.start();
The ServicesApplication is a class that extends org.restlet.Application and has
the SSL based code that I provided in the initial posting. The SSL based code
was
something I was fooling with that ended working based on information from
http://www.naviquan.com/blog/restlet-ssl, and
http://wiki.restlet.org/books/documentation_book_definition--20081027-003425/publication
s/html-chunked/output/s171.html#s173(without using the the
com.noelios.restlet.ext.ssl.PkixSslContextFactory context factory).
When I started this as a Java application, I didn't need any other relavent
configuration, no web.xml. I don't really understand how but somehow this
starts up a
Jetty Container. I am told (please correct if I am wrong) that somewhere in
org.restlet.Component or org.restlet.Application code there is black box code
that fires
off a Jetty container. We do no special container based configuration for this.
As best as I understand it, to run this "deployed" as a web application in
another
container, I need the web.xml, and need to set the conext-param parameter
"org.restlet.application" to my implementation/extension of an
org.restlet.Application
as described towards the top of this Javadoc:
http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.0/ext/com/noelios/restlet/ext/servlet/ServerServl
et.html. This will not involved the ServicesCompont extension of the component
class
that I have in the peice of code above. We actually got the ServicesApplication
deployed
this way to tomcat using Form authentication (with out the SSL code obviously).
Trying to deploy my applicaton to Weblogic is what I was trying to do with the
web.xml.
Bruno, I'm going to try some things based on your input and will let the thread
know how
it works out, or post more targeted questions if I need to. If you can add
anything
based on my clarification here, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!
-Andy
