Wow, that sounds good! I'm really happy to hear that GPE will make this available.
There's one additional thing I'd like to be able to do: Split up the WebContainer part and the GWT part into two projects. This is currently not so easy, because - you'll need to have the web.xml in both projects and keep them in sync. I'd really like to have the web.xml in the Web project, not in the GWT project. - it's necessary to copy the GWT-compiled output folder from the GWT project into the Web project (I think, at least every time the serialization policy file changes (?)). Are there any plans for GPE to support this kind of project splitting? Chris On Feb 18, 5:40 pm, Keith Platfoot <kplatf...@google.com> wrote: > Hi Chris, > > Thanks for posting this.
