hmm... so it means we're doing pretty low level stuff and that GWT is not offering much tools. I'm a bit worried that we're developing more than we should. This will mean lots of maintenance too. Isn't there any existing solutions for this? Thanks -Vincent PS: Please bear with me as I've never developed with GWT so I don't know what's available or not. _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
