Re: GWT Grid vs. SmartGWT grid
And if you'd like to use GWT but don't care about GWT programming per se, check out Vaadin.com. It's a servlet based solution that uses GWT for the client portion. They have tables/grids that work well with javabeans without DTOs or RPC programming (except for minor attribute-value passing via the UIDL if you build your own client widget). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: forget DTO, Dozer and Gilead use @GwtTransient [tested on GWT 2.0.X]
Yeah, this was a big problem for us since it meant creating lots of DTOs and server-side routines that generated them from its existing objects and could consume them for updates. I don't know the internals of GWT compiler, but it sure would be nice if fields and methods and constructors could be annotated to be ignored and never translated to JS. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: Ext/GXT/ExtGWT v2.1.0 vs. SmartGWT v2.0
SmartGWT (UI part anyway) is open source, so you could modify it -- albeit have to share it back -- but you are not stuck. Many commercial libraries are even harder to get a fix. Also, a feature any given person needs may not be top priority. Heck, I love GWT, but it needs better enterprise paging table widgets and ready-made solutions for DTOs+RPC that work with the paging tables and the related page editor forms since listing objects and updating them are very common in enterprise configuration. A nice customizable reporting feature (perhaps via paging tables with built in search/selectors) is also needed. But GWT isn't building these anytime soon from what I've gathered, and it doesn't make GWT or Google bad. They just have priorities that differ from mine. The incubator has some, but they are not pretty (too much work IMHO) and appear to be under major revision, yet not here yet when I need something now. Shucks! I am currently evaluating vaadin and as a java/jsp/servlet programmer, I find their model quite appealing, though many may not. And it's got ugly APIs as well because it's also mature and thus was based on older naming patterns, listeners, use of Object parameters that make it unclear what the heck is expected, but they do have documentation and examples and tutorials. Naturally, they are missing a lot of key documentation to explain the extra mile coding that all programmers really need, since showcase examples are generally more trivial than anything in the real world. Heck, I spent a lot of time today just trying to figure out how to make radio buttons whose values differ from the labels associated with the radios since all of the examples (for select boxes too) were just where the two were the same. Nothing is perfect, but I do like their Table/Form combos and the ability to do only server-side programming so there's no RPC or DTOs to deal with. But to each his own... I personally found Ext GWT and SmartGWT to have licensing warts, confusing documentation and like the comments above, a bit abusive in their treatment of users. Vaadin has a nice Apache 2 license, but they also seem to have a low volume forum that shows a less robust user base overall. It's not clear if you can buy better forum/email support at a reasonable price. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

No, GXT is pure GWT, but SmartGWT is a GWT wrapper around the JS library, though they claim they've spent a lot of time on performance hand-tuning so that's harder to gauge. Additionally: both have WEIRD commercial licenses! I didn't want to talk about them... but they're probably the deciding factor here now anyway. - GXT's commercial license is all features but you only get the incremental X.* updates (i.e. 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 but not 3.0). - SmartGWT's commercial licensing appears to be limited on feature set. How useful SmartGWT's widgets are without the complete featureset (i.e. databindings e.t.c) remains a mystery and therefor a risk. This does give a challenge for SmartGWT since you can't demo all the versions and it's not always clear which features are available to which when you look at the myriad examples. It seems easy to demo LGPL and the Enterprise and know that what you have is what you'll get and nothing more or less. For us, the databindings likely would have been desirable, but since it requires a commercial, it was hard to build both a client-server solution that was also open source as it would make use of components that require a commercial license. Of course, that's not a typical problem unless you dual license your product too. It is a shame that any GUI library comes with runtime licenses as you have to go back pretty far in software engineering to find a UI scheme that could require licenses for deployed systems. GWT will likely get there over time since I think they'll find supporting more enterprise needs will be a boost for their platform. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: LGPL and other restrictive licenses
See other postings about this, related to SmartGWT LGPL for example. Nobody here is a lawyer, so you can only take our info for what little it's worth. Note that SmartGWT and some others have extra clauses added to the LGPL that will allow you to do so because they allow the fact that with GWT, the LGPL code is actually merged into your code base so it cannot be replaced/installed independently of your compiled code. In effect, they are acknowledging the reality that your code is only using the library's API (presuming you are not changing the API code, which would still require you release that code) and so falls under that interpretation. But without the added clause, it could be tricky as your code does get mixed in and the user can't just patch the GWT library code without having your source to recompile/bind/link it together. Server-side LGPL code generally doesn't have this issue. And no open source license protects you should it be found that the library itself is not fully owned by the project owners -- that is, they may violate patents or have stolen code from elsewhere without your knowledge. Some of this can be ameliorated by using well established projects where the code is more likely to have been vetted, or even those from companies that also offer commercial licenses for the same software if those licenses provide such protections because companies are less likely to offer such terms for money when it's not true -- but in the end, it's always buyer beware, whether open or closed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

Re: SmartGWT?!
Well, I'm not a lawyer either, but I assume you are referencing the clause in Section 4 about combined works (the app you develop that uses GWT plus some LGPL GWT library): You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work... and Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source. So I'd guess you have a point as the minimal code required to allow it to be recombined would be all of your GWT client code. Got me! Maybe that's why vaadin and GWT chose the Apache License V2. And it is interesting that the now obsolete gwt ext license ( http://gwt-ext.com/license/) suggests that combining the code at the java level is where dynamic linking takes place and should not be a concern. SmartGWT LGPL as you point out doesn't have any such clause. You'd certainly want waiver language like gwt-ext's license if you use it in a commercial setting. While you'd probably win the reasonable argument that your code simply called the library's interface and should be treated the same as if normal java code called those same library interfaces (and not suffer just because of the GWT compiler's translation to javascript). But lawsuits are expensive, so if you were successful, you'd certainly make a tempting target. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

Re: SmartGWT?!
This makes sense since it's reasonable to expect that for LGPL code. Don't use Hibernate, but many libraries distributed as JARs can do this easily as they don't get mixed into the source code such that you can put a new version in by just replacing the JAR and not needing any recompile of the original app. That does not seem to be the case with LGPL and GWT unless there's the added clauses you pointed out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

Re: SmartGWT?!
Also, when debugging the java code version, you can step into all the code easily, but this breaks down for the javascript code, which is in fact the vast majority of the library. The wrappers essentially package parameters/options and then call the javascript, making it much harder to do useful subclassing and debugging. Note that ext gwt is all java, so it doesn't have this issue if the licensing terms meet your needs.

Re: SmartGWT?!
Yeah, I expect that many enterprise apps need most of the major library components on the main window and it's panels, with one potential area for benefit being a login view that could then have the rest downloading in the background since logging in at least takes some user time, though I have no idea how hard it is to implement that. If you need the widgets now, SmartGWT seems like a fine solution, and the LGPL is a nice license if you don't otherwise need their server-side/enterprise features. Pure GWT just doesn't have those grids and such yet, but it sounds like the basics are coming in 2.1. The downside of all GWT widget libs is that pure GWT will likely get them over time (how long is anybody's guess), but now your app will not be using them because once you switch to SmartGWT, for example, everything will use those widgets instead. Then again, if they work for you, why worry? I'm currently evaluating vaadin, which has some very easy out of the box stuff, and it's server-centric focus of pure java appeals to our servlet/JSP programmers, yet it is using GWT for the client portion. It's a very different architecture, to be sure, but one that we like and seems to alleviate a lot of DTO issues. But during an eval, you just never know the gotchas will turn out to be. It would be so much easier if GWT were 2 years older smile. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

Re: Use smartgwt or not
Hmm, but if you want to use the server side code, the primary reason for buying a license I'd guess because you have to be pretty crazy to be concerned about LGPL for a widget library since that's a good thing, then you'd likely include that code in your code base, so then you couldn't also offer your code as OSS as it would now include non-LGPL code.

Re: Testing GWT RPC services
Don't know anything about that library, but there's something odd about a synchronous GWT RPC library that can simulate async when GWT RPC is async to begin with, and very few would recommend using synchronous RPC in a browser since it would appear to hang while the RPC took place.

Re: Use smartgwt or not
The list of widget libraries is exhausting mostly because it seems so retro. If the desktop windowing world were this fragmented for GUIs, life would have been harder. And if developers had to worry about licensing issues to write GUIs, life would have been harder. Widget libraries needs to be standardized and royalty free to win real mindshare. Now we're back at that stage for Browser GUIs once again since plain HTML markup is falling by the waysidecycling through trying to figure out what GUI libraries too choose, with no clear market leaders that are destined to be the winners. So whatever you choose, it won't matter for long as the likelihood your choice will be that winner is low. With those grumbles in place, QxWT, like SmartGWT, is nice in that it at least fits in the GWT world, but sadly they are not based on GWT's widgets and panels and so development is impeded if you want to be firmly in the Java/GWT camp and don't want to deal with changes, enhancements, etc. in Javascript should you want different behaviors. So what is best widget library that is purely in the GWT world? That is tricky indeed as I've found working through it all. It's quite a task just to analyze them all and determine which are pure GWT and which are GWT wrappers around JS libraries or perhaps use entirely different schemes like Vaadin that I'm not sure what exactly they do yet. We still have not heard back from Ext GWT on their commercial licensing terms, with the last word being that Ext reserves the right to define what a developer means, though we've never heard of a license that does not define such a basic term considering they license on a per developer basis. It is unnerving that they cannot just be clear, suggesting that perhaps they'll just change their license terms in the future in unexpected ways that could mean you are stuck using an old version of their library or deal with the new terms whatever they may morph into. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

Without knowing your code, I cannot be sure, but somehow those classes are being referenced directly or as parameters something in your client classes.

Re: Use smartgwt or not
@Jeff, If you went with straight-up GWT what did you do for all the various widgets that otherwise seem powerful and useful? For example, what are your replacements for: 1) Paging grid/tables for showing lists of objects/data that users can then click on to view/edit in detail for typical CRUD operations? I found PagingScrollTable to be a lot of work for a simple object (though I suppose I can just clone after I've built that one), and now it gives lots of warnings under GWT 2.0, and it sounds like they are re-architecting it now so no doubt the future holds something brighter, but perhaps entirely new and not really compatible. 2) Popup windows with title and close buttons in the top area that you click on to drag around? I've used DialogBox, and it doesn't allow for even a simple close button to appear in the title bar. 3) Drag and drop items from one list to another list, such as when configuring objects that need to select multiple items from a defined list of pre-built items (like adding features or permissions or users from one list so it can be assigned to another object for use/reference). Your approach surely has the most appeal, but wonder how much you had to write instead of getting a widget toolkit. At the same time, I prefer not to use a distinct widget toolkit because it just seems to add another layer that perhaps will be slowly made less significant as GWT matures, and they all seem to have licensing issues. I am checking with Ext now on their definition of developer to see if the complaints are still real or whether they are holdovers from earlier. GPL is fine for our open source product, but we also expect to do commercial licensing, and then it gets complicated if we're somehow held to a standard that all users are developers and must have a Ext GWT license. I am fine to pay for our developers who write our UI and use their library, but it gets murky with their indirect developer language that is not defined anywhere and the license itself doesn't even mention it. As for SmartGWT, their LGPL product looks great and would pose no issue, but if you want their more advanced stuff for server-side code, you'd need to go commercial, which itself is not bad for us, but then it makes it impossible for us to offer our code as open source -- we want to do both open source for the open source community, but know that we have to offer commercial licenses to our business customers who demand that their systems be allowed to be proprietary. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: Simple Label+TextBox combo
I have tried to create my own LabelTextBox by subclassing TextBox, but
I'm not sure how to trick the widget so that when it's added, say to a
VerticalPanel, it actually adds my own span element that contains the
label element and the TextBox.getElement() (an InputElement) so that
they all go together.
I can create the span and put the elements inside, but when I add my
widget, only the TextBox's InputElement is actually in the DOM, so
clearly I'm not doing it right using:
SpanElement spanElem;
LabelElement labelElem;
InputElement inputElem;
public LabelTextBox(String labelText, boolean labelIsHtml, String
className)
{
super(); // creates the TextBox
inputElem = getElement().cast();
spanElem = Document.get().createSpanElement();
spanElem.setClassName(className);
labelElem = Document.get().createLabelElement();
if ( labelIsHtml )
labelElem.setInnerHTML(labelText);
else
labelElem.setInnerText(labelText);
String uid = DOM.createUniqueId();
setId(uid);
spanElem.appendChild(labelElem);
spanElem.appendChild(inputElem);
}

Why Label widget chose to use div instead of label?
Does anybody know the history as to why GWT's Label widget uses a
div instead of a label tag?
The label tag allows the label to be tied to another element, such as
the input tag, for accessibility, yet that seems lost with the Label
widget.
Seems like Label was a misnomer and should have been called Text to
parallel HTML.
As for myself, I essentially copied the GWT Label widget source to
make my own Label that creates a label instead. It's below if
anybody cares. I removed all of the deprecated stuff from GWT Label
since it's a new class. And I don't set the default style to be gwt-
Label since that would surely match more than expected and use esf-
Label just for keeping it in sync. And because it's a label tag, the
label can also be HTML or Text.

LabelTextBox creates compact label and input tags
I have created a LabelTextBox widget that emits pretty streamlined
HTML/DOM like the following:
div class=LabelTextBox
label class=esf-Label for=gwt-uid-44ESF Name/label
input id=gwt-uid-44 class=gwt-TextBox required type=text
tabindex=0/
/div
The LabelTextBox uses a FlowPanel which results in the div with the
specified class to style it.
It emits a label tag (using the Label widget I posted earlier) with
the 'for' being the id of the input tag, and if none is set, uses a
unique gwt-generated id.
And it emits a input using a regular TextBox widget.
Then I use CSS styling based on prior recommendation in this list to
allow them to be stacked or otherwise controlled, as well as the
default width of these input fields:
.LabelTextBox {
float: left;
width: 225px;
}
.LabelTextBox label {
float: left;
width: 225px;
margin-left: 1px;
}
.LabelTextBox .gwt-TextBox {
float: left;
width: 225px;
}
If anybody is interested, here's the code I wrote for it (and I have a
similar one for LabelTextArea):

Re: Google Web Toolkit 2.0 RC2 Now Available

Re: Google Web Toolkit 2.0 RC2 Now Available
Quick update: the new FF plugin seems to be working great. I've not used it enough to be sure, but it has not crashed since updating it. I have seen it run a bit slow after code changes and a reload, but it does resolve and continue to run perfectly. Being able to debug/test in FF with Firebug is a real gift and makes the 1.7 to 2.0 transition worth it by itself. Thank you much.

Widget support for setUserObject like TreeItem
Is there any plan to allow more widgets to support user objects being tied to them so that when events occur on the widget, you can easily access the object it's related to in the application domain? I only see this in TreeItem, which is nice, since when a tree item is selected you can take appropriate action based on the model object that the tree item represents. This would a really nice feature it seems to me and could be part of all Widgets. That way, even when a CheckBox is checked or unchecked, it would be easy to access the domain object that knows about this status so if I have lots of CheckBoxes on a page, I don't have to map them myself. If there's such a feature, or a better way to map between widgets and domain objects, please let me know since I'd love to clean up my code.

Simple Label+TextBox combo
I'd like to create something like the following layout using a Label and TextBox for input: Label [TextBox__] Now, this works fine in a VerticalPanel. But that creates a TABLE with two TRs to wrap these fields. Yet in HTML, I'd just have: labelLabelbr/ input type=text...//label That is, it would just be the two fields separated by a BR.

PagingScrollTable and RowSelectionHandler called even when column headers clicked
I'm using the 1.7 version of PagingScrollTable from the incubator with my 2.0RC1 GWT and the table seems to function fine, but I noted that when I click on the header columns (which are allowed for sorting), my RowSelectionHandler still fires onRowSelection(), even though no new rows were clicked. I prefer to only know when a new row is selected (my table is set to select one row when it's clicked) since I take action then. But when I click on the table's header, it fires again, and then my code thinks it's time to do the action again. It shows the same selected row that was selected before when it was clicked directly. Is there a way to know if it's the header that's been clicked and not data row? Or is the RowSelectionHandler not the right one for me? Is there a way to deselect a row that's been selected?

Creating new app windows, not actual browser Windows
There are several objects I have where from the list of objects, when one is selected, I'd like to simply open up a new window (DialogBox?) that can popup within the browser window to show the details about the selected object, allowing it to be viewed in full, modified/saved, create a new object like it, or delete it. Is there a GWT widget that's geared for this, with a close box in the upper right corner, etc.? It might be nice if it can be resized so if the user wants to bring up two objects, he can compare them side- by-side. Clearly, it's not modal and should not close until dismissed. I'd prefer not to create new browser Windows because that implies a new EntryPoint, etc. I'd like to just keep it within my single page view.

GWT Developer Plugin (GWT 2.0 RC1) crashes FF 3.5.5
I am not sure why, but it seems after I start/stop debugging sessions one or two times, FF will crash when I try to launch a new debug session.

Avoiding memory leaks during page/view changes in GWT module
My GWT module switches in different views based on what the user is doing...starting with a login page view, then a main menu view, which itself switches sub-views based on the option selected to work on. When I switch to a new view, I call a deactivate method on the view that's being taken out of commission. It basically takes whatever widget comprises its main container (typically a VerticalPanel) and calls clear() to remove all widgets that were added to it. Is that enough, or do I have to worry about other things? I do use my own EventBus (HandlerManager) that panels often connect to, so I am also removing those registrations. And I do the same for my Window resize handler when present. But what about all the clickhandlers and other handlers added to buttons, TextFields, etc. Do these all have to be removed, or will they go away when I clear the main component that contains all of those fields? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: com.google.gwt.core.ext.UnableToCompleteException while using Development Mode
Turns out I lied. The debugger only seems to break in server code and won't break in client code, most likely because of the module load failure when using the debug URL generated. So this appears to be a bug with the 2.0 RC1 debugger in some fashion, as it relates to Eclipse or the browser plug-ins (though I get the same error on FF 3.5 or IE 8). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Keeping data safe in PagingScrollTable
Just getting the basics of PagingScrollTable working under GWT 1.7.1
and noted that the basic for CellRenderer was to use the
AbstractCellView.setHTML() method. Since my data shown comes from the
database, I want to be sure if people enter HTML constructs into our
forms, we don't display them as HTML unless we intended them to
contain HTML.
For example, I have a list now that contains a Comments section.
This is just a String in my database/app. Now this is not intended to
allow HTML, but if such constructs were entered, that would be fine,
but they should be displayed as entered and not be treated as HTML.
The view.setText() method is deprecated saying I should use setHTML
(). So it seems I have no way to tell the table that my data is a
plain text string and is not HTML.
If my comment string contains Hello a href=javascript:alert
('hello')there/a. I would like to be able to set the comment as
text so all the HTML is still readable (reads like above) rather than
inserting a link for the work 'there'. In my JSPs, I'd use our HTML
escaper that would convert '' to 'lt; and doublequotes to 'quot;'
etc.
What's the main technique to use for this sort of escaping client
side? I'd prefer to not send back pre-HTML-escaped strings to the
client because it could create some odd sorting and display issues
when not used in widgets that expect the contents to be HTML (like a
Label), and prefer that the client who is displaying it knows whether
to treat the string as HTML or plain text.

Re: Keeping data safe in PagingScrollTable
FYI, I know that this simple construct will work: view.setHTML(cellValue.replace(, lt;)); This uses the AbstractCellView.setHTML (since setText() is deprecated) but changes all to lt; which generally seems to be enough to keep a browser from ever introducing any HTML/script hacks in my cell value as something that can affect the browser's behavior. Just wondering if this sort of hack is my best solution or whether something more standardized is in place (though I figured setText() was that standard, so not sure why it's not allowed here.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

GlassPanel seems to block dialog box close button focus
I have a DialogBox subclass that is used to popup an exception condition. When this popup occurs, I added code to use the GlassPanel to set to my RootPanel.get(glassPanel,0,0) and that works as expected. But I noted that when I did this, my dialog box no longer put the focus on the close button so that pressing Enter could automatically dismiss it. I now have to click the Close button. Is this something I'm doing wrong, or a choice I have to make. As it is, I believe the ability to use Enter to close the dialog box is more valuable the glass panel styling. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: incubator's PagingScrollTable(pagination+Sorting)
What are people's impressions of these widgets in production use? It seems I've read a lot of negative stuff about PagingScrollTable, and it's clear that sorting does not work, which is funny when you run their demo since it touts sorting, yet not a single column sorts correctly. I've not had a chance to play with gwtlib's PagingTable, but am a bit concerned the version release is 0.1.6, which sounds far from being production ready, and the last update was May 2, so clearly there's no real work effort moving it forward. So, is it really 0.1.6, or does it work well enough that it's really 1.0 at least? It is surprising that such tables are not part of GWT core yet.

Re: CSS file issue + possible bug in GWT 1.7
I've seen re-read the modules description and figured out what I needed to do, at least in Eclipse, and then to use the default names GWT recognizes. In the project root where your gwt.xml file is, you should have a 'client' folder where your client code goes that will be converted to javascript, a 'server' folder where you server-side Java code goes, and a 'public' folder (which I didn't have before) where you can put the CSS referenced in your gwt.xml file without the leading /. Now when I do a GWT Compile, the css files in my public folder are copied into the war's module folder where it will automatically look for it, so it no longer needs to be in the HTML host document.

TimeZone and TimeZoneInfo - how to set to be more common names like EST5EDT or PST8PDT?
My server can give me a nice timezone string like EST5EDT that works well in Java on the server. The question is how would I use such a string in the client-side TimeZone/TimeZoneInfo?

I'd like my DateFormat to show 'z' using the more common TimeZone spec than UTC-5 and the like.

Re: Can't set/get a cookie, lame as that seems
Yes, if I just do a simple cookie, I can set/get just fine: Cookies.setCookie(ce, emailField.getText().trim()); String cookieEmail = Cookies.getCookie(ce); This shows the cookie retrieved just fine, as expected for such a simple thing. But when I try to put the expiry, I can't retrieve it. I've tried setting the path param to null, and to / and that makes no difference. It appears to be the expiring time since if I put null there, it works just fine, but I would like my cookies to expire after 90 days: long msecs = 90*24*60*60*1000; // 90 days in milliseconds java.util.Date expDate = new java.util.Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + msecs); Cookies.setCookie(ce, emailField.getText().trim(), expDate, null, EsfUtil.getContextPath()+/, EsfUtil.isRequestSecure()); String cookieEmail = Cookies.getCookie(ce); In the above, it cannot get the cookie (returns null). But if expires date is null, it works fine: Cookies.setCookie(ce, emailField.getText().trim(), null, null, EsfUtil.getContextPath()+/, EsfUtil.isRequestSecure()); String cookieEmail = Cookies.getCookie(ce); Is there something I'm doing wrong about the expiring?

Can't set/get a cookie, lame as that seems
In a click handler for a checkbox to save email, I have the
following code:
long msecs = 90*24*60*60*1000; // 90 days in milliseconds
java.util.Date expDate = new java.util.Date(System.currentTimeMillis()
+ msecs);
Cookies.setCookie(ce, emailField.getText().trim(), expDate, null,
Window.Location.getPath(), EsfUtil.isRequestSecure());
GWT.log(checkbox set cookie,null);
String cookieEmail = Cookies.getCookie(ce);
GWT.log(checkbox get same cookie value as: + cookieEmail,null);
Why would it be I cannot retrieve a cookie right after setting it?
I'm using GWT 1.7.1.
The hosted browser log shows:
[INFO] checkbox set cookie
[INFO] checkbox get same cookie value as: null
I also noted that in my GWT RPC service, the server code does not have
the cookie either, so it's not like it is set and then being passed to
the server (though I'd expect it to). In reality, this cookie is only
for the browser convenience of keeping the email address to aid
subsequent logins if they've checked the box to have it.
Thanks,
David
P.S.
EsfUtil.isRequestSecure() is just a simple query to see if I'm https
or not (in production, it's always https and we to use secure cookies
then, but while testing on a local PC it never is)
public static boolean isRequestSecure() {
return Window.Location.getProtocol().equals(https:);
}

CKEditor integration experiences with GWT 1.7?
Has anybody run into any issues integrating CKEditor with GWT 1.7? While the RichEditor is okay, we need the added power of tables and rendering with user-defined CSS for our needs where users are building HTML chunks and need the additional layout and rending control. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Organizing multiple HTML hosts / Entry points, etc. in single webapp
Newbie question for GWT 1.7 is how do people tend to organize their webapps that may have multiple distinct sets of functionality. That is, would people tend to create a HTML+Entry for a login page that is streamlined only for this very specific task of authenticating users, handling forgot passwords, etc. that are related to a non- logged in user. Then perhaps have another HTML+Entry for the main dashboard aspect of the application. I tend to think of this part of the application as the run-time focus for typical users who are making use of the system. Then perhaps have another HTML+Entry for specialist tasks that are more geared towards administrators or the like that are setting up the application and all of those tasks that can be fairly complex on their own, but aren't user functions. And then would most people create one RPC interface to support each of these Entry points, or might a non-trivial Entry point tend to support a series of RPC interfaces to deal with myriad functions. Thanks for any ideas on what are considered best practices in this area. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Module CSS with relative paths then compile removes it, full path then not webapp relative at runtime
I have a simple login module, and I tried add stylesheet src=login.css/ to my modules .gwt.xml file. This seems to generate code that assumes the login.css file is in my module's output folder, in my case esf_login_gwt/login.css But of course if I put the css file there, the next time I compile, it removes everything in that module folder. How do I get the compile to rebuild everything and then put my login.css in there too? Also, I tried using non-relative paths like in the .gwt.xml file, like stylesheet src=/static/login.css/ and that generated code in my HTML looking for /static/login.css, which is not correct since my WAR is deployed using a webapp name like 'gwttest', so when deployed, it should be looking for /gwttest/static/login.css. It doesn't make sense to put the '/gwtest' path in the .gwt.xml file because it wouldn't work when deployed using other webapp names. It seems like I'm missing something simple here, but I'm not sure what. I am using GWT 1.7.1 with the Eclipse plugin (latest eclipse 3.5 with java 6).
