[Paraview] Utilisation of plugin ParaView in ParaViewWeb

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi Alex,

there is two ways to achieve your goal.

Solution 1:
Inside the pw-config.properties file, instead of calling the PWServer
executable right away, you can call a shell script which will call
PWServer underneath with some extra arguments such as an
initialization python script (--batch-file=/.../loadPlugins.py).
Basically that script will load your plugin.
Once that's achieved, normally when the JavaScript ask for the
ParaView available methods, you should see your plugin. And have
access to everything on the JavaScript side. (You can read that part
in the wiki here:
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaViewWeb_Manta_setting)

Solution 2:
Create a ParaViewWeb plugin, that will load the plugin and provide a
method to create an instance of your plugin filter. (like in
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaViewWeb_Plugins). Maybe the
definition of your plugin won't properly be updated in the simple
context. Therefore, you might need to use the full filter path to
create it by calling
"severmanager.ActiveConnection.Modules.filters.MyFilter()" instead of
just "simple.MyFilter()".
