How to do HTTP binding for Openfire plugin

This question has been Answered.

I'm using Openfire as the chat server for my company. And now I need to create a plugin for Openfire.

As I can see from other plugins, they can have HTTP binding to themself through port 7070. For example: http://example.com:7070/redfire where redfireis the name of the plugin.

The name of my plugin is toplug, so I want to be able to access the JSP pages of my plugin through:http://example.com:7070/toplug/index.jsp where 'index.jsp' is some example page.

But when I try to access my JSP pages through port 7070, the Jetty server (on which Openfire runs) always reports error 404 'page not found'. I guess this is because the binding to my folder which contains JSP pages hasn't been set. How to do this binding thing please?

You do not need a plugin to access the web service for the http bing port. Just put your web pages in a folder under

 

OPENFIRE_HOME/openfire/resources/spank

 

and access with

 

http://your_server:7070/your_folder/your_page.html

 

Note that Openfire does not compile JSP pages unless you replace jasper-xxxx.jar files in the lib folder

 

 

If you still want to create a jetty web context (application) from your plugin, see source code of Redfire plugin

 

 

import org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandlerCollection;
import org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext;
 
.....
 
public void initializePlugin(PluginManager manager, File pluginDirectory)
  {
      ContextHandlerCollection contexts = HttpBindManager.getInstance().getContexts();
      context = new WebAppContext(contexts, pluginDirectory.getPath(), "/" + NAME);
      context.setWelcomeFiles(new String[]{"index.html"})

    Re: How to do HTTP binding for Openfire plugin

    thanks dele, however, by this method i can only access pure html or data files.

     

    is it able to access JSP files also?

    i put the JSP files in my plugin folder, but [ant plugins] doesn't compile it at all.

    it only compiles those JSP files in 'my-plugin/src/web', these files are for admin console,

    not for opening through public port 7070.

      Re: How to do HTTP binding for Openfire plugin

      this thread solves the problem by allowing public access thru' port 9090

      http://community.igniterealtime.org/thread/40008

       

      1) in your plugin, you need the following:

       

      private static final String URL = "userservice/sign-in.jsp"; // replace with your plugin/your.jsp

       

      In init() function I have to add:
      AuthCheckFilter.addExclude(URL);

       

      And in destroy():

      AuthCheckFilter.removeExclude(URL);

       

      2) In the .jsp page, you need the following:

       

      <code>
      <meta content="none" name="decorator" />
      </code>

       

       

      If you don't have this meta tag in your jsp, you will get the following error:

       

      Exception:

       

      java.lang.NullPointerException
