Is there any reason for not using just gwt HTML or somthing else with @UiHandler("loginButton") to make a RPC-call for log in?
Ex: UiBinder: <g:HTMLPanel> <g:TextBox ui:field="username" /> <g:PasswordTextBox ui:field="password" /> <g:HTML ui:field="loginButton"> LOGIN </g:HTML> </g:HTMLPanel> Composite: @UiHandler("loginButton") void onLoginClick(ClickEvent e) { // make RPC-call and validate user..... } Or is it just for autocomplete?
