Hello!
I am following your conversation because i am working on same issues : Migrating GWT/GXT project to GWT 2.10 + Java 11 + Jetty 9 *Initial Context on Legacy project using:* - GWT 2.8.2 - GXT 2.3.1a-gwt22 - Embedded Jetty - Java 8 *Migration Goal* Update the project to use: - Java 11 - GWT 2.10.1 - Jetty 9 - A custom-built GXT version compatible with GWT 2.10 *Steps Already Completed * 1. GXT Recompilation and Installation - Cloned the GXT 2.3.1a sources. - Adapted the code to compile with GWT 2.10.1. - Successfully built gxt-main-2.3.1a-gwt2.10.jar. - Installed it locally using: 2. Maven Configuration Updated - Switched to Java 11 using maven.compiler.source and target. - GWT updated to version 2.10.1. - Added the locally installed GXT dependency 3. GWT Module Inheritance Added 4. GXT Verification - Confirmed GXT.gwt.xml is present inside the JAR (jar tf checked). - JAR added to the Eclipse launch configuration (Run Configurations > Classpath). Jetty Configuration Jetty 9 Already in Use - Version confirmed: 9.4.52.v20230823 (via mvn dependency:tree). - Dependencies have <scope>compile</scope> (not provided). - jetty-server-9.4.52.v20230823.jar appears in the Eclipse classpath. *Current Blocking Issues* 1. GXT Not Found at Runtime When launching GWT DevMode: Unable to find 'com/extjs/gxt/ui/GXT.gwt.xml' on your classpath Despite: - The file being present in the JAR. - The JAR being listed in the Run Configurations > Classpath. - Proper inheritance in the .gwt.xml file. 2. Jetty Server Class Not Found Tried using the argument: -server org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server *ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.jetty.server.*Server Even though the JAR is present in the classpath, and Jetty 9 is confirmed to be in use. *So i need to understand* 1. Why is GWT DevMode (or CodeServer) unable to find com.extjs.gxt.ui.GXT.gwt.xml, even though it is present and properly declared? 2. How can I resolve the ClassNotFoundException for org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server, despite Jetty 9 being correctly added? 3. Are there any special configurations or recommendations for running GWT 2.10 with Jetty 9 and Java 11 in Eclipse? *Important note:* I do *not* want to switch to a Tomcat 9 deployment (war packaging) as a workaround. The current state of the project makes the packaging and deployment process extremely slow — over *one hour* just to build and deploy. Therefore, I need a solution that works using GWT Super DevMode and embedded Jetty Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. __wejden Le mercredi 12 mars 2025 à 17:32:47 UTC+1, Jens a écrit : As Colin said you can use @WebServlet and enable configuration via annotation scanning in your servlet container. However if your application is large then scanning might slow your deployment down. If deployment time is not a concern then it is the easiest solution. There are additional annotations for other classes you normally add to your web.xml. If you don't like class scanning during deployment time you can write an annotation processor that picks up all these @WebServlet annotated servlets and generates a class that registers them using the ServletContext API. Then you use that generated class in a custom ServletContextListener implementation to register everything. That ServletContextListener would then be the only entry in your web.xml. Alternatively, if you use Jetty as servlet container you can use Jetty's quickstart module to let it generate a web.xml by scanning your code once (as part of the build process). -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Users" group.
