Yes, hiding or obfuscating doesn't help much. I was hoping for a secure way for users to never even be able to download administrative client code at all, without making it a separate GWT application. Even with runAsync(), users might be able to still retrieve the admin code unless it's protected on a file level on the server, but you have to determine which files to protect and preferably make it a seamless experience for the user so they don't have to provide separate web server credentials to download the admin client code. > > 2) Some users will download code that they will not necessarily > > execute, making the application needlessly larger. > > RunAsync should help > * if the user doesn't have the required permission to e.g. open an > admin view, then hide the button or menu-element - the user will > not see it and it will not get downloaded > * if an admin is logged, in you'll of course show the button/ > menuelement > and if she clicks the button, RunAsync will kick in and the relevant > code > will be downloaded Good point for reducing size. That will be useful, when GWT 2.0 comes out, as it should be in there. Until then you have to compile on the trunk to use it, I think.
