The *.nocache.js contains code that "sniffs" for the presence of the gwt.codesvr= in the query-string to trigger DevMode; it then loads the hosted.html (or hosted.js, depending on the linker) instead of the *.cache.html (or *.cache.js). The hosted.html then loads the browser DevMode pluging which connects back to the code server, so that the code that actually runs is *not* the "production" JS but the Java code from your computer, running in the DevMode code server.
Of course, the server-side code is the one deployed on the server. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
