Class ApplicationRunner

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.rwt.application.ApplicationRunner

public class ApplicationRunner
extends java.lang.Object

An ApplicationRunner is used to start an RWT application with the given ApplicationConfiguration in the given ServletContext.

In most cases, application developers don't have to use this class directly. Instead of this, the class RWTServletContextListener can be registered as a listener in the deployment descriptor (web.xml). In this case, the ApplicationConfiguration defined in the init-parameter org.eclipse.rap.applicationConfiguration will be started by the framework.

When a custom ServletContextListener is used, the ApplicationRunner is usually constructed and started in the contextInitialized() method and stopped in the contextDestroyed() method.

Since:

1.5
