com.sabre.redapp.example.webkit Sample
The com.sabre.redapp.example.webkit sample includes the following functionality:
-
WebKit browser technologies that create a website with a custom WebKit browser editor implementation and Java code. The editor is rendered as a tab in Sabre Red 360. The sample classes are ExampleBrowserEditor, ExampleFocusOrOpenEditorHandler and WebkitBrowserWithContentEditor. The web app uses an URL from
config.properties
file using ConfigService. The WebkitBrowserWithContentEditor class loads provided HTML content instead of loading it via URL. -
Webkit Browser technologies that create a webpage app in an editor with a default editor implementation. The default class that implements this editor is com.sabre.edge.platform.optional.webkit.editors.DefaultWebkitEditor. This simple web page uses extension points in
plugin.xml
, without Java code. -
Browser technologies that create an app with a default view implementation. The default class that implements this view is com.sabre.edge.platform.optional.webkit.views.WebkitView. The view app, which is a Red App, uses OSGi communication services to get PCC and EPR information from the emulator. This app is dependent on an active emulator session in a work area. Extension points in
plugin.xml
without Java code create a view and embed a web page app into a browser. -
Simplified Communication Services API usage
-
ConfigService retrieves plug-in specific properties to display a URL in a browser. The com.sabre.edge.platform.core.config.properties extension point implements this functionality.
-
Event listening for EMU_COMMAND. The event listener and command are registered in
redapp.xml
. -
A mechanism that automatically unpacks and copies resources from a plug-in to Sabre Red 360 with the
plugin_resources
variable for the url. The extension point com.sabre.edge.redapp.pluginresources inplugin.xml
sets auto override totrue
forbasic.html
andcfcommunication.html
. These files are automatically unpacked and copied whenever this sample plug-in is run. -
Authorization to multiple Communication Framework services in a
redapp.xml
file. -
The contact details extension points in
plugin.xml
. To see these details, choose Contact us > Application Vendor Support in Sabre Red 360.
