With UiBinder, I thought that GWT compiler would prevent instantiation of widget with no ui:field attribute by directly inserting the html code of the widget.
In other words, I thought that: <g:VerticalPanel> <g:HorizontalPanel><g:Label>Line 1</g:Label></g:HorizontalPanel> <g:HorizontalPanel><g:Label>Line 2</g:Label></g:HorizontalPanel> </g:VerticalPanel> would give the same result as: <g:HTMLPanel> <table> <tr> <td>Line1</td> <td>Line2</td> </tr> </table> </g:HTMLPanel> But in the first case, it generates this Java code: com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Label f_Label3 = (com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Label) GWT.create(com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Label.class); com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HorizontalPanel f_HorizontalPanel2 = (com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HorizontalPanel) GWT.create(com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HorizontalPanel.class); com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Label f_Label5 = (com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Label) GWT.create(com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Label.class); com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HorizontalPanel f_HorizontalPanel4 = (com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HorizontalPanel) GWT.create(com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HorizontalPanel.class); com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.VerticalPanel f_VerticalPanel1 = (com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.VerticalPanel) GWT.create(com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.VerticalPanel.class); f_Label3.setText("Line 1"); f_HorizontalPanel2.add(f_Label3); f_VerticalPanel1.add(f_HorizontalPanel2); f_Label5.setText("Line 2"); f_HorizontalPanel4.add(f_Label5); f_VerticalPanel1.add(f_HorizontalPanel4); and the second case, it generates: com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HTMLPanel f_HTMLPanel1 = new com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HTMLPanel("<table> <tr> <td>Line1</td> <td>Line2</td> </tr> </table>"); So am I right to think that I should never use widget inside UiBinder xml except if I have the attribute ui:field (in other words, except if I need it in the Java code)?
