Just to confirm my understanding, you want to be able to develop/debug against your production server? I know of several options, depending on what kind of client server communication you're using. The GWT team wrote some documentation about this problem: http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/1.6/FAQ_Server.html#What_is_the_Same_Origin_Policy,_and_how_does_it_affect_GWT?
I think that you will encounter this problem with whichever AJAX framework you use. One option is to communicate with the server with JSON (which, because it can be "imported" through the <script> tag, can evade the same site origin policy). Another option is to have a development webserver that proxies requests to your production server. This blog entry provides some detail: http://blog.erace.pl/2009/02/03/apache-proxy-for-gwt-and-alfresco/ Tony -- Tony Strauss Designing Patterns, LLC http://www.designingpatterns.com http://blogs.designingpatterns.com On Apr 9, 1:51 pm, Dominique <[email protected]> wrote: > I have been very excited about using GWT for developing some client > side code for my Web site but I have hit a wall with the client "same > host" security restriction.
