Ate you perhaps using a layoutpanel? I believe simplepanel descends from panel.
For layoutpanels use rootlaylout.get sorry for my poor typing. I'm trying to tap this out quickly on my mobile.

LayoutPanel and other ComplexPanel's don't implement AcceptsOneWidget. The example code uses a SimplePanel instead. I've found a few discussions on this problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5143196/is-there-a-acceptsonewidget-which-also-providesresze-other-than-scrollpanel?answertab=active#tab-top http://www.tempura.org/rants/2010/10/using-layoutpanels-with-gwt-2-1s-activitymanager/ People suggest the solution is to create a subclass of the ComplexPanel I want that implements the AcceptsOneWidget interface. Like so: public class PanelForView extends LayoutPanel implements AcceptsOneWidget { IsWidget myWidget = null; @Override public void setWidget(IsWidget w) { if (myWidget != w) { if (myWidget != null) { remove(myWidget); } if (w != null) { add(w); } myWidget = w; } } } This sounds great but it doesn't seem to work for me. Perhaps because I'm using GWT 2.3 instead of 2.1 or 2.2. In my EntryPoint I expect to simply replace the SimplePanel with my new PanelForView class and have the app run as before. Like so: public class HelloMVP implements EntryPoint { private Place defaultPlace = new HelloPlace("World!"); // private SimplePanel appWidget = new SimplePanel(); // Replace this with PanelForView private PanelForView appWidget = new PanelForView(); // This compiles but doesn't work. // private SimpleLayoutPanel appWidget = new SimpleLayoutPanel(); // This doesn't work either. public void onModuleLoad() { // Create ClientFactory using deferred binding so we can replace with different // impls in gwt.xml ClientFactory clientFactory = GWT.create(ClientFactory.class); EventBus eventBus = clientFactory.getEventBus(); PlaceController placeController = clientFactory.getPlaceController(); // Start ActivityManager for the main widget with our ActivityMapper ActivityMapper activityMapper = new AppActivityMapper(clientFactory); ActivityManager activityManager = new ActivityManager(activityMapper, eventBus); activityManager.setDisplay(appWidget); // Start PlaceHistoryHandler with our PlaceHistoryMapper AppPlaceHistoryMapper historyMapper= GWT.create(AppPlaceHistoryMapper.class); PlaceHistoryHandler historyHandler = new PlaceHistoryHandler(historyMapper); historyHandler.register(placeController, eventBus, defaultPlace); RootPanel.get().add(appWidget); // Goes to place represented on URL or default place historyHandler.handleCurrentHistory(); } } This compiles fine but when I run it, I see nothing but a blank screen now. Is there something extra I have to do to initialize a ComplexPanel? Am I just misunderstanding something? I've tried adding Widgets and calling setSize to no avail. This is my first GWT project.
