It really has nothing to do with GWT. You would have a servlet on the serverside that responds to rpc calls, and the servlet would call some file writing command. (in the simplest, non-refactored way). The file writing part doesn't care where the input came from. As in logging, you won't be able to guarantee what order the data comes in when getting RPC calls. So multiple commands issued quicky may generate out-of-order text.
This said, since you are asking kind of basic questions... Are you absolutely sure you want to write a file on the system? Are you trying to do something unusual? Most people would use a DB tier because it can handle multiple users and updates better, and it's easier to have a timestamp tacked onto the message, where it can be sorted. Cleaning up the filesystem can be a chore. Dealing with the filesystem is a chore. File locking? etc. On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 12:26 PM, Sednus <sed...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Yes, I was planning to run it on my own server... but how do I make > that while still using GWT? is it possible? > > On Aug 3, 11:04 am, Daniel Jue <teamp...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Sure, you just have to run it on your own server, running jetty or > tomcat, > > etc. > > > > On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 12:00 PM, Sednus <sed...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > Well, I really need to create a file on the server side and write on > > > it whatever the user types on a text area.... is there any onther way > > > to accomplish this? > > > > > On Aug 3, 10:30 am, Jason Parekh <jasonpar...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > No, unfortunately you don't have file system access on App Engine. > You > > > can > > > > store data in databases, but you won't have any file handlers to that > > > data. > > > > jason > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
