Hey all, I've been trying to get pretty charts to work in GWT on our internal network. Playing around with GWT-Ext's charts is nice, but it requires flash and is really messy to control (it seems buggy, in general). I'd like to hear about something that works with the least amount of dependencies and it also must work without a connec...
In GWT I have to specify what locales are supported in my application. The code get compiled in various files, one for each locale (beside other versions), but I have to give my clients one only URL. This URL is supposed to be a page that should be displayed according to the locale preferred by the browser. I dont't want to have an HTTP ...
I would like to create a database backed interactive AJAX webapp which has a custom (specific kind of events, editing) calendaring system. This would involve quite a lot of JavaScript and AJAX, and I thought about Google Web Toolkit for the interface and Ruby on Rails for server side. Is Google Web Toolkit reliable and good? What hidden...
I'm trying to get the GWTShell mode to load my context.xml file in which my database is described. The only usable info can be found here, but this doesn't seem to work for the context.xml part. ...
Is it possible in a large GWT project, load some portion of JavaScript lazy, on the fly? Like overlays. PS: Iframes is not a solution. ...
How should widgets in GWT inform other widgets to refresh themselfs or perform some other action. Should I use sinkEvent / onBrowserEvent? And if so is there a way to create custom Events? ...
I would like a panel in GWT to fill the page without actually having to set the size. Is there a way to do this? Currently I have the following: public class Main implements EntryPoint { public void onModuleLoad() { HorizontalSplitPanel split = new HorizontalSplitPanel(); //split.setSize("250px", "500px"); sp...
I'm at the beginning/middle of a project that we chose to implement using GWT. Has anyone encountered any major pitfalls in using GWT (and GWT-EXT) that were unable to be overcome? How about from a performance perspective? A couple things that we've seen/heard already include: Google not being able to index content CSS and styling in ...
We have a web application that was implemented using GWT. What it presents is fetched from a Jboss/Seam server using the remoting mechanism, and this works fine. However, the application is now extended to support sessions and users. The Seam GWT service doesn't seem to provide a way to let me log in such that Seam can return restricted ...
I come from the Microsoft world (and I come in peace). I want to rapidly prototype a web app and if it works out, take it live - and I don't want to use ASP.Net. I am not sure which web application toolkit to use though. Should I use GWT, DOJO...other recommendations? I am open to any server-side language but am looking at RoR, Php or ...
Hi all, first post don't hurt me :) I am using a BorderLayout with the usual North, West, Center, South Panels. On the West ContentPanel, I've got a Tree. If an event (OnClick)occurs I want a particular dialog box displayed on the Center ContentPanel. What is the best way for me to do this? Currently I'm using a function called returnP...
I have a Google Web Toolkit (GWT) application and when I link to it, I want to pass some arguments/parameters that it can use to dynamically retrieve data. E.g. if it were a stock chart application, I would want my link to contain the symbol and then have the GWT app read that and make a request to some stock service. E.g. http://myapp...
I've run setHeight(600) on a Window, that's it's initial size. I've also went ahead and done setAutoScroll(true). When the content of the window resizes, the window itself resizes. What I want is for the window to stay fixed in size, and when the content grows larger, add scrollbars. I can get this if I resize the window manually, then ...
GWT's serializer has limited java.io.Serializable support, but for security reasons there is a whitelist of types it supports. The documentation I've found, for example this FAQ entry, says that any types you want to serialize "must be included" on the whitelist, and that the list is generated at compile time, but doesn't explain how th...
GWT gets locale from either the locale property or the locale query string. If neither is specified, it uses the "default" (ie en_US) locale. Why doesn't it get it from the browser settings? It seems the only solution to this is to replace your static html launch page with soemthing like a JSP that reads the browser locales and sets ...
I am starting a project for which we will have a thin client, sending requests and getting responses from a server. We are still in the planning stages, so we have a choice to settle on either an Eclipse based GUI (Eclipse plugin) or using GWT as a fromtend for the application. I am not very familiar with Eclipse as a GUI (Nor with GWT...
I have a rather big number of source files that I need parse and extract all string literals and put them in a file as play old java constant. For exemple: Label l = new Label("Cat"); Would become: Label l = new Label(Constants.CAT); And in Constants.java I would have: public final static String CAT = "Cat"; I do not want the strin...

I'm trying to create a logger for a GWT application as an exercise to evaluate GWT. What I specifically want to do is have it so that I can post messages to a client side label at any point from the server side. So, if some interesting stuff has happened on the server the client can be updated. My First question is, is this possible, I ...
