Re: Application cache searches cssmap
I managed to remove the cssmap entries from the manifest by including them in the list of resources to skip in the SimpleAppCacheLinker class.

How to get hold of the instance in an InstanceRequest
Hi, I'm implementing an InstanceRequest on the server side in a dedicated service class, which is annotated as Service in the RequestContext. This works fine, but how can I get a reference to the instance of the entity, on which I need to operate? The background of my question is, that the entity returns enum types that must be adapted for the client.

This is the IE "broken box model". HTML specs say borders/padding margins etc should be added to the hight/width of the widget. That's what FF & Safari do. But IE subtracts them. There are various ways to deal with this, for example: 1. Look up CSS hacks as Salvador points out. 2. Design your UI widget layouts so it doesn't actually matter - that's what Google tend to do (see some GWT examples in both FF & IE to see this, they are slightly different) 3. Wrap widgets you want to apply borders etc to with an extra SimplePanel (a decorator panel basically) and apply the border/margin etc to the decorator, not the panel. What happens in 3 is FF & Safari put the border on the outside of the decorator SimplePanel, but IE puts the border on the inside of it. However the result is the widget itself comes out exactly the same size and in the same place in all three. regards gregor --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

You cannot avoid this, so you cannot have your server call simply return a value to the method that originated it - you have to call a method on your widget somewhere (or something else) from the callback, i.e. onSuccess(). As Miroslav demonstrates, you can use a full blown MVC design to encapsulate this process. In this case the view (i.e. widgets) will delegate the task of calling the server to a controller which now handles the asynch call details and updates the Model. An model change event is then fired that the widgets listen out for and update their displays accordingly. IMO opinion the real value in this approach is if you have more than one widget, or UI component, that uses the same model objects (and therefore would ideally share server calls) since this makes for significant reuse and also keeps multiple views of the same model data in line. Otherwise it can make for more work and more complicated code. Whatever, the thing is you cannot avoid the asynchronous nature of RPC calls, you have to live with them. regards gregor --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

Re: How to share RPC service between GWT applications?
I would be careful about multiple Hibernate session factories etc. You may be able to get away with it, but there are potential problems that might be difficult to trace. I would do some research into your options as they relate to your particular use case. Two main ways to deal with this are: 1. configure data source as JNDI lookup. That works with servlet container only, e.g. Tomcat, Jetty. I'm pretty sure Spring provides ways to do this in conjunction with Hibernate for example. 2. deploy as an EAR that houses both web apps (as WARs) and a common data access/transaction management tier (as a JAR). You might delegate the server side work and data access from your RPC servlets to a session EJB for example. You will need to use a full blown Java EE app server like JBoss for this of course, and run GWT hosted mode with - noserver option etc. On Apr 15, 8:38 am, jfeid wrote: > Thanks for the reply. > > The RPC servlet uses a db layer jar which configures a Hibernate > factory. > Because of different classloaders I assume that there will be 2 > instances of this factory. > But I cannot say if this will present an issue until I test it. > > On Apr 14, 9:23 pm, gregor wrote: > > > You can do this if you place your RPC services in a separate module > > that is inherited by the two main application modules.

Re: How to share RPC service between GWT applications?
You can do this if you place your RPC services in a separate module that is inherited by the two main application modules. In this situation you can specify the RPC servlets in the common module gwt.xml file and this will work for hosted mode, but I think you have to map them separately (i.e. in duplicate) in each main module's web.xml for deployment - AFAIK there is no way around that (app server/ servlet specification issue, not GWT). At run time you will end up with two instances of each servlet loaded by the two main module's classloaders (again app server/servlet specification issue, not GWT) which may or may not present you with an issue depending on what you are doing.

Re: How to get internal widget to notify its parent widget when clicked (and have the parent execute something)
Hi matttai, unless you have a big reason to do so, I would avoid sinking/unsinking events etc. I would go for one of two options: 1. if the inner widget is *only* ever used by the parent (owned by parent only), then you can make it an inner class of the parent widget. This is convenient since you just call the parent widget method directly from the inner widget code (MyParentWidget.class.methodTocall() 2. If that is not true and the inner widget must be a separate class, you should use the Observer pattern which GWT supports. If you are using 1.5.x or earlier, you could use the ChangeListener and SourcesChangeEvents interfaces for example, of if 1.6.x you should use maybe HasValueChangeHandlers and ValueChangeHandler. regards gregor On Apr 5, 3:51 am, matttai wrote: > As per the title :) > > How to get internal widget to notify its parent widget when clicked > (and have the parent execute something)? > > I think it has something to do with sinking and unsinking events but I > haven't been able to find a very good example of doing this. > > Any help would be appreciated! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

Re: Building your own GWT library
Hi Gugle, yes, you need to make a .gwt.xml file. you will then probably need to specify the source path in it - that can be as simple as: // or whatever so "src" (whatever) specifies your module source code location relative to the .gwt.xml file itself in the jar. Then all you have to do is inherit the new module in your main GWT application gwt.xml file and make sure its jar is in the classpath for the GWT compilation. The GWT compiler will find the .gwt/xml file first, then follow the source path instruction to find the .java files. regards gregor On Apr 4, 5:28 pm, Gugle wrote: > Hi all, > I'm trying to build a small GWT library of my own to implement a new > widget.

Re: RPC Performance/Response Problem
Hi Lord-67 I don't think your selection of data structure for the data transfer will make nuch material difference. Your observation that 500 strings works hunky dory, but 10,000 doesn't is pretty much my experience. The issue is divided into two parts: first the time taken to assemble, serialize and then deserialze the List of objects. Second the time taken to render the objects in a widget. You may not know this but it takes browsers an appreciable amount of time to render thousands of items - each one has to have a number of HTML "boxes" drawn for it. Test this yourself by making a simple test Tree created from some nested for loops on the client, and you will see that once you get up to 1500 or so TreeItems it starts to slow down noticably, and round about 5000 it takes seconds to draw. Note also different browsers give different performance in some situations, so you need to consider that too. Another important thing is that RPC is *much* slower in hosted mode than it is deployed in web mode (in case you haven't rumbled that yet). You can try two approaches to solve this: the classic "lazy load", and the "FastTree" approach. In the lazy load approach you fetch only a screen full of items at a time (in a tree you would get just the top level items etc). next link fetches the next batch. This usually produces a response time from the user's perspective of <0.5s, which for them is a good as "instant". Therefore although technically each page flip is slow (involving a fresh RPC call for each page) it is not perceived as such, the user does not have to wait seconds for the data to load. In the fast tree approach you fetch all the data in one RPC call, but only actually draw screen full at a time, using the full list as a backing model instead of making a fresh RPC call for each page. This makes navigating the items in the UI very fast once the data model is loaded because only the visible HTML boxes required are actually drawn, but you pay a pre-loading price up front in the big RPC call. Which is best depends largely on your application and user requirements and also on the precise time it takes to fetch the entire list over RPC. For example if your users will routinely want to sort, filter or search through a large data set in complex ways, then they will probably thank you for implementing the fast tree idea and be happy to wait maybe 2 or 3 seconds to fetch the all data up front because the subsequent operations will be much faster. On the other hand if a 1 item list is unusual, or they would normally only be interested in first page of two (typical for search results for example) then the classic lazy load is almost certainly best as it gives them a much quicker render of the first screen full. I'd say the first thing to do is to is to time your RPC call round trip separately from your screen render times to get a feel for the numbers, but do this in web mode either over web or on LAN, whichever is appropriate for your typical user, in a selection of popular browsers. regards gregor On Mar 27, 10:35 am, -Lord-67 <-lord...@web.de> wrote: > No, i haven't tried that so far, i will do so and let you know if it's > getting better.

Re: weak listener in GWT?
Interesting question Ed. I read this: http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/webprog/jscript/ch11_03.htm and a couple of other things. Looks like different browsers do things differently with javascript gc, with IE (surprise surprise) noticeably differing from the others. My feeling is that the JVM does this in Java basically and it's in the Java spec that it does, so you can rely on it. I don't think there is an equivalent javascipt spec for this behavior, so you probably cannot rely on this working, x-browser anyway, and you probably have to explicitly kill the listener yourself.

Re: How do I call a stateless session bean (EJB) from my RPC service?
Hi Steffen, The simplest way to do this is to add your GWT app as a module (WAR) to your EAR. The GWT RPC servlets will then have direct access to your session beans local interfaces (which you must define BTW). If you cannot do this for some reason, the situation is a bit trickier. Your standalone Java client probably uses RMI to call your session beans? Is so, then it is calling the beans remote interfaces and call parameters/return values are serialized over the wire. AFAIK you cannot call the local interface of a session bean from a class outside its EAR. You can always use JNDI to look up the remote interfaces of your session beans from a separate GWT module's RPC servlets (which mimics what happens with the Java client) but this involves your app server serializing and deserializing all objects passed betweeen the GWT app and the enterprise app, i.e. the app server will be serializing to itself, which is a serious performance drain you will want to avoid. BTW I think the reason why this is so is that each EAR or WAR deployed on your app server is allocated it's own classloader, so in this situation your session beans are not directly visible by reference to your GWT module classes and visa versa, so they must be called remotely (which means serialization). One way around this is to set up your EJB application as a Resource Adapter ARchive (RAR). This is not normally used in applications as such, and is usually associated with some external data source common to a number of applications in an enterprise situation (a bit like a database, it's comparable to a JDBC). Normally vendors use it, for example Apache Jackrabbit uses a RAR. However this complicates things, and I am not sure you will get optimal performance out of it anyway (although I am not sure, I use RAR's but have never written one myself), but it will probably perform better than using remote interfaces to your session beans. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.express.doc/info/exp/ae/cdat_resourcead.html For these reasons, unless you have the strongest possible reasons for not doing so, I think your best bet is to include your GWT module in your main enterpise application (so it is a WAR inside the EAR) and then you will be able to call your session beans directly from GWT RPC servlets using their local interfaces. This should give you the best performance from the simplest code. regards gregor On Mar 25, 2:15 pm, stsch wrote: > In Eclipse I have one project (j2eeEjb) containing the Enterprise Java > Beans, one projects (j2eeClient) contains the corresponding Remote > Interfaces and one project (j2eeEar) only assembles everything into an > ear-file.

Re: waiting for help
yes, check the group for struts posts Poonam. Bottom line is don't use struts on server with GWT app unless you absolutely have to (legacy situation), better to use GWT RPC and keep state on client.

Re: How to configure web.xml to include RPC service?
I've always used the same URL mapping formula as that - I have never got to bottom of how to get it to work using wild cards etc I believe the reason is to something do with with the combination of a) GWT.getModuleBaseURL() returning the module path with '.' (dots) instead of '/' (slashes) and b) the way Tomcat etc treat dots in a URL pattern. I recall something about Tomcat treats everything that comes after the first dot in the url as an extension rather than treating the dots as directories (hence the *.do etc in struts). I also believe this comes directly from the servlet 2.4 specification definition of how to treat wild cards in url pattern matches, and last time I looked that up I recall I did not find it particularly intuitive. I think if one wrote one's own static helper that called GWT.getModuleBaseURL() and replaced all the dots with slashes and used that instead in your RPC call set ups, then I think it might behave as one might expect, but I've never got round to trying this yet - I just cut and paste the full module path, dots 'n all, into web.xml :-( There might be a way to manipulate the servlet spec wild card rules to get round this, but I've never yet seen a post explaining how for GWT.getModuleBaseURL() based URLs.

Re: Differences
GWT RPC is a propriety GWT mechanism that serializes/deserializes Java objects (those that are supprted by the GWT JRE emulation library) for transport between client and named methods in servlets that implement RemoteServiceServlet. It also provides an asynchronous callback mechanism for the client. Since Java objects (or javascript translations thereof in the case of the client) are delivered directly to your code fully formed, it is a very convenient, concise and efficient mechanism if you have a Java back end. RequstBuilder is the GWT implementation of the standard javascript XMLHttpRequest. Using this requires that you serialize/desialize objects yourself (or use an appropriate library to do it in for example JSON or XML format (GWT provides a JSON and an XML parser parser for GWT clients) . This is typically used where the back end is not Java based, e.g. php or python, or when using 3rd party JSON services for mash ups etc. It is also often used if binary data needs transporting across the wire since GWT RPC is text based and BASE64 encoding/decoding is slow. HttpSession is an abstraction of a connection and subsequent conversations between a specific client and a servlet container. It is maintained by the serlvet container. Each request the servlet container receives is tracked against the client's HttpSession, and HttpSession enables session state to be maintained for the life time of the session between separate requests from the client.

Re: How to sort a list with objects on client side?
Hi Danny,
I think it may be because you have not implemented the compare method?
One simple comparator I use for sorts looks like this:
public class TermComparator implements Comparator {
public int compare(Object term1, Object term2) {
String first = ((Term) term1).getText().toUpperCase();
String second = ((Term) term2).getText().toUpperCase();
return first.compareTo(second);
}
This is pre-1.5 so not generic etc, and it obviously uses the built in
String.compareTo(..) method, so for integers you need to replace with
code to comply with the Comparator.compare(..) contract:
"Compares its two arguments for order. Returns a negative integer,
zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal
to, or greater than the second."
I actually use this on the server before list to the client since I
thought it would probably be faster in Java than in javascript and it
always has to be done and in alpha order only. Subsequently I have
considered that this puts additional pressure on the server, so even
if it would be technically slower on client, if not materially so,
then maybe better on the client.
regards
gregor

Re: How to align TabPanel on right
Not sure, but TabBar has the styles:
# .gwt-TabBar .gwt-TabBarFirst { the left edge of the bar }
# .gwt-TabBar .gwt-TabBarRest { the right edge of the bar }
so if you give TabBarFirst 100% width and give TabBarRest maybe a
fixed width to give you a little indent from the right edge if you
wanted one, it might push the tabs over.

Re: Loading Images into GWT via MySQL
I think Itamar is right, Jack, you should use a standard HttpServlet
for this, not GWT-RPC, because this sends the image over to the
browser as byte steam, and I don't think RPC can do that.
First, I take it these are not images used in your UI (like icons
etc), 'cos those should go in an ImageBundle. I assume you know that &
these images are downloaded as user selections etc.
1) Consult your MySQL docs/forum to find out how to obtain an
InputStream for the image via JDBC. You want to pass an InputStream
back to your image download HttpServlet. You don't want to read out
the image bytes yet.
2) You write the HttpServlet something like this example (there are
lots of others around):
http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/4629
Notice that the key is a looping read of the InputStream (which you
got from MySQL) that writes straight into the HttpServlet's response
OutputStream. Notice also it uses a buffer byte[] array. This is so
that your web server does not get it's memory clogged up with big
image byte arrays - the image bytes just get shunted from the DB
straight out to the browser via this buffer. Therefore set this buffer
small. Apache tend to use 2048 bytes. I think Oracle prefer 4096. That
sort of size for the buffer. Take care to set the response content
type so the browser knows what it's dealing with.
3) In your client you can set the Image widget's URL to your image
download HttpServlet adding a parameter for the image id.

Re: Tree Performance
yeah, I thought of that Vitali, but I thought what FastTree did was to pre-load the entire TreeItem dataset (i.e. fetch all data in one RPC operation) but then only actually draw visible tree layers, thus cutting down repeated RPC fetches on lazy tree node open but still only draw what is required on open clicks. Which is no good for this situation because GWTFan has a flat tree structure, i.e. all 1000 items in same branch?

Re: Tree Performance
I have never tried using StackPanel like that, but I did look at it's code once to enhance it and I think it is at least as "complicated" as Tree (in the sense it has many HTML "boxes") so I would guess it would probably be if anything worse than Tree in your situation. The classic way to deal with large trees is to lazy load them by layer, but obviously that is not an option for you as you only have one layer. I think you'll have to figure out a creative way to design a widget to deal with this edge case (1000 items). It's a bit difficult to suggest anything because we don't know either the contents of the tree nodes (what these 100 items are) or how they are used (presume user selects them?) One idea that that immediately occurred to me was to use DisclosurePanels. This has a right pointing triangle when closed, and when clicked reveals the contents, rather like clicking the + on a Tree. I am assuming also that the problem is purely rendering and that there is no time problem fetching the 1000 items over RPC. You could make a Composite widget like so: Choose a container, could be FlowPanel, VerticalPanel etc Keep a list of the items as a member of this class, and a cursor to keep an index against the list Set a maximum number to be rendered at any one time, say a few more than your happy days case of <=10 Iterate through the list making DisclosurePanels and adding them to the container as you go If the list size > your chosen max, add a button bar to the bottom giving forward/back options Etc, I'm sure you get the idea. I think rendering 10 - 15 DiclosurePanels at a time will probably be quick enough.

Re: Performance better setting attributes in CSS or in Java code?
I think theoretically assigning width/height properties via CSS is faster than in code. However since this is typically done only once per widget, the difference is immaterial for most practical purposes. In javascript it's repetition that kills you performance wise, say creating many table cells for a tree or a grid, or iterating through a large array repeatedly. In this case the difference would be undetectable by a user and that's all that matters really. So I concur with Ian. Choose the method that suits your application best according to other criteria. In Ian's example he needs to enable certain properties to altered by page designers, but others that would break the UI not. In my case I set most size properties in code because I find it much easier to write and maintain layout logic that way, but everything else (e.g. fonts, colours, margins) I set in CSS styles.

Re: Issue WIth TableListener
The simplest way is the have DynamicFormDisplayGrid implement
SourcesTableEvents. Then in it's addTableListener(TableListener
listener) method you just write:
table.addTableListener(listener)
So client widgets implementing Table Listener interface can be
notified of selection events on the internal FlexTable without
actually knowing about it, only DynamicFormDisplayGrid.
Not sure if this is exactly what you mean though

Re: Fix for HorizontalSplitPanel?
I think pretty much most straight GWT widgets will do that. It's pretty standard HTML behaviour that if you size a box to 100%,100% it will fill the space made available for it. GXT? Is that part of the Ext family (I can't remember these days). I think the Ext JS library widgets have their own resizing framework. I believe that that they all get sized up with hard pixel values (i.e. they all get a calculated height and width) rather than let the browser do the work like GWT does so that their layouts mimic the windows desktop style. Therefore I think if you just drop an Ext widget into a standard GWT container (rather than an Ext container), the undelying Ext resizing framework may not kick in properly because standard GWT HSP does not broadcast the necessary resizing event the Ext widgets listen for, so maybe that's why the contents of the FillLayout panel didn't resize with the HSP.

Re: Fix for HorizontalSplitPanel?
Might this have something to do with GTX FilllLayout? AFAIK if you place, say, a Composite in HSP and set it's size to 100%,100% it will fill the left/right panel and respond to moving the splitter.

Re: Sequential workflow in an asynchronous GWT world
In general I think it is better to try to avoid this situation if possible - and often it is if you think about it for a bit - because a) the less RPC round trips you make the better, and b) the less callbacks you have in your client code the simpler it is. In general two good question to ask are: 1. Can the various logic branches be resolved automatically in the happy days use case on the server as a result of one call? Often they can if you look at things in a different way. If so you can then think about how to deal with edge cases. 2. How much of the server state would the client really need to know to successfully control the logic branches? Often less than you'd think at first. For example, it may be that in your app the first selections the user makes in this work flow are sufficient to generate a graph of permissible branches and/or additional required data values on the server from a single initial RPC call. In effect, create a simple model for your work flow process on the server and transfer it to the client up front. Thereafter the client could handle the UI dialog by itself until completed (with no horrible async callback interruptions and chains in the code) and then send the transaction details in one final RPC call. Of course this may not in the end be possible in your application, but it's worth looking into as it will increase performance and decrease complexity, as I think you have realized from your OP regards gregor.

Widgets given fixed sizes in CSS/code should appear correctly when tab
selected. Is there a reason why you cannot size the remaining
relatively sized widgets in percentage terms? So long as they are told
to fill up available space (or proportion of it) they should do so
when tab selected. That's the way it's expected to work.
In general I think one should avoid calculating sizes manually in code
like the plague - use percentages and leave it to the browser
otherwise you will go mad. AFAIK the only common situation you can't
do that is with ScrollPanels which must be given a fixed height in
pixels to kick in properly.

I'm not sure how PagingScrollTable works in TabPanels. Have you tried
setting it to size(100%,100%) and proved it does not behave properly
when it's tab is selected? I would be surprised if it didn't as that
would be an obvious flaw.

Re: tabpanel and size computation in onLoad
If you size you tab content widgets in % terms, they will size up automatically when tab is selected if the main one is set to 100%, 100%. If you can't do that, there are several ways to approach the problem depending on exactly what your situation is. Perhaps you can be more specific. As Alex says, non-selected TabPanel decks themselves always have a width/height of zero, so in general you can get the base height you need from DeckPanel itself (rather than the individual deck's) maybe accurately only after one deck has been selected I think.

Re: Unique color for each tab in a TabPanel
Hi Ando, You can use TabPanel.add(Widget tabContent, Widget tabHeader). The tabHeader widgets can be any type of widget, so you can style them how you like. If you extend TabPanel with your own method to create the tab header widgets when you add tabs, then you could assign each new tab header added a particular colour style from a set list based on tab index. If you MOD it, then the colour cycle would repeat. gregor On Mar 1, 8:25 pm, Ando wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to set a unique color for each tab in a TabPanel, i.e I > want the first tab to be blue, the second to be green etc. The only > way I can see to do this is to get a hold of the underlying DOM and > set the css id manually, but even then I'm not sure this will work.

Re: What are your thoughts on Cappuccino and SproutCore?
If you watch the "Hello world" starter tutorial for Cappuccino, there is the basic problem highlighted: He creates an action on the button to call "swap" to change "Hello world" to "Goodbye" - but he forgets to actually create the swap method itself, so app crashes and you see this in firebug: "Exception... "" - [AppController: swap] unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x000133 when calling method Aside from the fact that in GWT first your IDE and if not then then the compiler will pick that up before you even try to run it and your IDE will probably auto-write a stub for the fix for you to boot, Eclipse etc java debugging tools are light years ahead of this, partly due to Java having strong static typing, which Cappuccino clearly doesn't No big deal in the small, but scale up and you are back to the javascript maintenance nightmare. It can't compete with Java tooling nor Java itself. Looks pretty and has a few fancy widgets that do a bit more out of the box than GWT equivalents. Be interested to see how they they cope with data structures like hash maps and how you could hook up widgets using Observer pattern for example.

Re: Two TabPanels, different CSS styles
CSS is often hierarchical in GWT widgets. You have a primary style
name and then additional secondary styles that are swapped out
according to user actions (like select, hover etc). With a Tab panel
the tabs are controlled by the TabBar class, and you can see it has a
primary style gwt-TabBar and a selection of additional styles.
.gwt-TabBar {
}
.gwt-TabBar .gwt-TabBarFirst {
}
.gwt-TabBar .gwt-TabBarRest {
}
.gwt-TabBar .gwt-TabBarItem {
}
.gwt-TabBar .gwt-TabBarItem-selected {
}
To custom style TabBars differently all you have to do is copy this
template CSS and replace gwt-TabBar with my-TabBar. Then you set the
style as:
myTabPanel.getTabBar().setPrimaryStyleName("my-TabBar");
Do not change the gwt- part of the secondary style names as the
internal TabBar code won't recognize them. E.g. you end up with
.my-TabBar .gwt-TabBarItem-selected {
}
So you can have as many different styles for the same GWT widget class
within the same application as you like.

Re: MVC + RPC architecture
Hi Reza, I think I made an unfortunate choice of words with "dogma". I do not mean to diss MVC, what I really meant to convey was that there is an awfull lot more documentation around about MVC than there is about Model Delegate and the the use of the Observer and Mediator patterns in this context. You are quite right IMO that newbies should learn and apply well established patterns, but my point is that the MVC pattern has so much exposure that it is possibly unbalanced. I think part of the reason relates to your comment: "And finally, I don't have anything against ModelDelegate, but I think you wouldn't use it in a jsp web site by putting all controllers code inside jsp. (which is possible and most newbies start coding this way) You definitely use a well established MVC framework." You are undeniably right about this: you should definitely use a MVC framework like struts for a JSP based application. The thing is, though, that JSP based applications are a perfect fit for the MVC pattern since each request from a view needs to be processed and redirected to the next view. A struts Action class, i.e. a controller, is perfect for this. MVC got a huge boost to its profile through struts and JSP Model 2. But a GWT AJAX application is a different animal. It is technically a "thin client" since it runs in a browser with no native executables or libraries required, but functionally it has a lot more in common with a traditional "thick client" - complex UI, no paging, asynchronous server calls, session state shifted from server to client etc. In a Java thick client, say Swing, you typically set a model graph directly on a widget, and the widget binds itself to it and controls user events and how they affect the model. In GWT it is similar to this, because events are propagated from the browser via the widgets themselves, so if you have separate controllers that need to know about events (which they do) it can become complicated and messy. This is exacerbated by the asynchronous RPC mechanism as Charles pointed out in the OP. If a widget itself is not coordinating the asynch call, but calls a method on a separate controller, you need another callback mechanism to relay the results back to the widget. There are situations where doing this is necessary. My favourite example is a work flow application where a work flow process may have many different views all of which are based on the same model graph for the process. In this case a MVC decomposition some thing like this makes sense: view / \ controller \ /\ \ / \ \ RPC\\ \ --- model IMO in many, if not most, situations that is over-engineering. However none of this answers the OP question really, nor does it answer your point that newbies should follow good practice based on known sound patterns. If not MVC then what exactly? To be sure the answer is not that well documented. The current GWT event system which is based pretty much on the Observer pattern. it works well in the simple case but has shortcomings when you scale in terms of complexity. It can get messy with dozens of different listener interfaces etc. I think the new event system coming in with 1.6 will make a big difference to this. My own response has been to experiment with the Mediator pattern as defined in the GoF book. I am pleased with the results so far. The GoF book actually uses a set of collaborating widgets as the example for Mediator. I use a mediator to coordinate events between colleague widgets (usually Composites) around a specific functional area. The Mediator only handles event subscription, publishing and routing. The Composites themselves are responsible for deciding what to do in response to a particular event. The main shortcoming of this approach I have found so far is if an event requires several Composites to refresh their data at once since this implies multiple concurrent RPC calls when one would be better. I'm still thinking about how to best deal with that in general terms. Anyway, I have nothing against MVC, only that it is not IMO an automatic or universal best choice for a GWT client. Only sometimes. regards gregor On Feb 25, 1:35 pm, Adligo wrote: > Hi charles, > > I have also written and open sourced a mvc architecture (gwt_util > and gwt_util_demo) projects at;http://www.adligo.com > It is designed specifically to be used with storage (databases, ldap > servers, files exc).

It's more convenient and concise. There are no downsides because there is nothing to stop you implementing full blown MVC (by which I mean rigorous separation of view and controller in the UI) if you need to. See: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ModelDelegate GWT is loosely based on Swing/SWT programming model (as far as it can given it runs as javascript). It makes sense to follow the programming model of your tool kit, or at least to investigate why it follows the pattern it does, rather than blindly follow traditional MVC dogma. regards gregor --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

Re: GWt RPC issue: Unable to instantiate 'org.bcs.server.SelectionSearchServiceImpl
You just need to adjust things so that offending servlet's compiled .class file is in the classpath, that's all it is, no mystery. I don't use ant for hosted mode, so I havn't got a straight crib for you, but in my deployment ant builds for gwt compile task I have And this puts all the servlet code under /build/com/foo/myapp/server/ myServletImpl.class and the html/js stuff under build/www & */build is in my classpath definition*. You need to check exactly what you output is to track this down. What matters is that the servlet .class file is created somewhere that is within the classpath definition in your ant script (which it clearly isn't at the moment) On Feb 21, 1:55 pm, BobM wrote: > Oh, Gregor.

Re: Get subtree parent index?
Maybe a cleverer/simpler way to do this, but you could try extending
Button to include a reference to the TreeItem it's attached to, say
TreeButton. Then in your ClickListener onClick(Widget sender) {
if (sender instanceof TreeButton) {
TreeItem item = ((TreeButton)sender).getTreeItem();
}
That would save you slogging through the tree searching for an id or
something.

Re: doGet in remoteserviceservlet (HELP!)
Hi Lothar, I thought RPC servlets were always called via a POST and you couldn't change that, whereas if you use a standard HttpServlet you can use a HttpRequest on the client and specify a GET for it. Surely overriding stuff in a RemoteServiceServlet is more complicated than using HttpRequest?

Re: Resource not found: org.bcs.Main/org.bcs.Main.nocache.js ??
You do really need to get familiar with the GWT project structure, and what the default path expectations are - that will get you up and running quicker. http://code.google.com/docreader/#p=google-web-toolkit-doc-1-5&s=google-web-toolkit-doc-1-5&t=ConfiguringaGWTProject All resources specified in your module gwt.xml file are specified relative to the directory location of the resource file with the default expectation that GWT UI widgets will be located under /client, html, CSS, images etc under /public, and RPC servlets and other server code under /server. Therefore a typical project, say c:/../com/foo/myapp/MyApp.gwt.xml, will have CSS file at c:/../com/foo/myapp/public/MyApp.css and this will be referred to in the module HTML file as or alternatively in the module get.xml file as On Feb 18, 4:22 am, BobM wrote: > Gregor, you get another medal!

Re: doGet in remoteserviceservlet (HELP!)
Sorry, I misunderstood what you where trying to do. You want the user to be able top download the CSV file to their own disk, right? You can't use GWT RPC to do that, and I don't think you can return the file as a String either. I think you need a standard HttpServlet that writes the CSV file as binary data to the servlet response stream. There are examples of file download servlets in the group, and around the net. You may also need to adjust the response header so the browser knows it should open the save file dialog when it receives the response.

Re: doGet in remoteserviceservlet (HELP!)
You don't use doGet() in RPC servlets, you call methods specified in
the RemoteService interface. Perhaps a better way is to transfer your
data to client is create a simple DTO class that represents a row of
data. You then return a List of these DTO's from your RPC servlet
method. Create the DTO's by iterating through the result set of your
SQL query. This is lot easier and more efficient than parsing a CSV
string client side.

Re: How to debug/resolve RPC call problem?
It looks like NB might be setting things up to run GWT hosted mode
with -noserver option deploying to glassfish. In that case you have to
make sure everything is set up properly for deployment to glassfish
(i.e. as external server), including web.xml etc. Normally one would
not recommend running -noserver option unless you had to, for example
if you are using EJB's or a non-java back end. It may be NB does this
because it is easier to debug hosted mode server code using glassfish
+ -noserver.
Probably simplest thing is to consult NB forums for clues on how to
stop NB doing this, i.e. get it to run hosted mode normally using
embedded Tomcat server. There should be a script somewhere you can
edit, or a way to install your own. The script you are looking for
should have "com.google.gwt.dev.GWTShell" in it after a long classpath
statement and one of the switches following should be -noserver as
well as -style and -out etc if this theory is correct.
What IDE's do is simply write versions of standard GWT start up
scripts for you inserting their own choice of parameters, hiding the
details. They are trying to be helpful, but often it just causes
problems.The trick is to find out how to edit these scripts and take
control of them.
Same is true of deploying your app in web mode to production/test
server IMO. It is much easier in the long run if you write your own
ant script to build a WAR rather than let your IDE do it for you. This
is especially true in team situation where different IDE settings can
cause all sorts of problems otherwise.

Re: Code refactoring to minimize listeners & decoupling actions from view class
I take it you mean: http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/SupervisingPresenter.html I confess to having done nothing like as much as I probably should have with regard to testing GWT UI components. But I'm working on a bigger app now, so I have been thinking about it. A couple of points occurred to me: A GWT component is not a Java class, it is a javascript program manipulating the browser DOM. Much UI logic involves CSS, for example switching styles, etc so it would be hard to create a "Test Double" in the manner Fowler describes. In fact the GWT dev shell already *is* a test double in many ways. For this reason I am not sure that Supervising Controller affords the same advantages for testing in GWT as it might in Swing for example. So I am looking at a model something like this: Put components (or batches of closely related components) into separate modules (there is no overhead in either dev or production for this AFAIK). Make a test Entrypoint class in a separate module (e.g.MyComponent_test.gwt.xml) for each of these component modules so they can be individually test driven. Use the GWTTestCase Junit extension to drive the component tests via this Entrypoint. Use of Observer pattern is important to enable this, i.e. it is important that no component has any "upwards" dependencies or this becomes more difficult, e.g. you start to need "mock" versions of things. On the listeners issue: a) yes, this is why using a single listener as per I described above is efficient. b) There is definitely an overhead associated with listeners, so at a certain level of application complexity you need to worry about it. See Google's own doc: http://code.google.com/docreader/#p=google-web-toolkit-doc-1-5&s=google-web-toolkit-doc-1-5&t=FAQ_UIUseOneListener c) In relation to another discussion about listeners I did a quick test to see how GWT generates javascript for them. You may find it interesting, it's towards the bottom of this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/1fa4af5d2728c5ab/d693b9ac6256fde1?lnk=gst&q=gregor+clicklistener#d693b9ac6256fde1 d) I think the issue is mainly the total number of listeners of a each type (i.e. the compiled javascript has a list of ClickListeners, another list of ChangeListeners etc which need to be checked in response browser events). I think if you have, say, 10 or 20 click listeners, that's no real problem, but if you have 100 then there may be an issue with this and you may need to look at ways to get the count down. Sharing a listener between multiple widgets within a Composite is a simple way to do that which does not break encapsulation.

Re: Servlets / war file help
Hi Dan, Yes, to get it to work in web mode (i.e. deployed) you need to a) make sure your web.xml file has the correct RPC servlet mappings, and b) you need to deploy all the static HTML/js/CSS etc and the java classes/ libs in the right structure. The simplest way (IMO) to deploy is to use an Ant script to build a WAR file. A WAR file is basically a zip file that contains all the resources necessary to run a web application including a GWT one, and all you have to do is toss it into Tomcat's webapps directory and off you go. Ant has a convenient WAR task that will build one for you with the right structure providing you give it a few relatively simple instructions. Personally I always write my own rather than let my IDE do it for me because that way that way you get a bomb proof build/deploy that is immune from local IDE settings/different IDE's etc and you can teak it how you want. I would search the group for posts about "web.xml" and "ant build.xml" etc to get up to speed on these questions (they have been asked once or twice before, plenty of examples) and see how you get on. Yes, you need a java servlet container for your your RPC servlets to run JDBC code. It doesn't have to be Tomcat, any Java EE application server or servlet container will do. If you don't have such a thing, you could use HttpRequets instead of GWT RPC using JSON as your wire data transfer protocol. If you had a php or python server for example, this is a popular approach I believe. gregor On Feb 14, 2:25 pm, Dan wrote: > Hi Guys > > I'm relatively new to web development, I have a lot of experience with > C++, C, Java a bit of php and Symbian C++. > > Would anyone mind If I asked a couple of generic servlet / war file > questions? > > I have started to created a site using the google web toolkit (GWT). > So far my server side my code inserts and selects from a mysql > database using JDBC. > > Having "built" everything where the appropriate javascript is created > and all runs fine and accesses my DB using the tomcat server that > comes with the GWT I want to make sure I am going to be able to deploy > the site somewhere. > > http://www.pimtext.co.uk/gwtTestshows everything I have placed on the > server. > If I go > tohttp://www.pimtext.co.uk/gwtTest/build/gwtOutput/pimtext.Start/Start > it is not possible to add a new user because something is wrong with > the set-up - the client side does not appear to be able to talk to the > server side. > > I hope it would not be to ambiguous to ask where you think I might be > going wrong?

Re: How to debug/resolve RPC call problem?
Bob,
It's not clear from your post where the problem is. Chances are either
you have set up the RPC servlet wrong in your module xml file (i.e. it
doesn't match ((ServiceDefTarget)
selectionSearchService).setServiceEntryPoint
(GWT.getModuleBaseURL() +
"/selectionSearchService");
so the servlet cannot be found, or there is something wrong with your
code causing an exception somewhere.
If you are running hosted mode you should see any exceptions in the
dev shell window - it should tell you if it can't find
SelectionSearchServiceImpl and how it's trying to find it. That's what
we need.
Does your program get to
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
setMessage("Selection search failed. ");
}
in which case what is caught.getMessage()?

Re: How to debug/resolve RPC call problem?
Hi Bob,
Most likelly either you have not specified SelectionSearchServiceImpl
in your module xml file correctly (so the URL doesn't match and it
can't find it), or there is something wrong with your own code that's
throwing an exception.
if 1) In the main dev shell window, you should see some exception
entries and one of them should say it can't find
SelectionSearchServiceImpl - what does it say?
if 2) you should be getting to here
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
setMessage("Selection search failed. ");
}
what is caught.getMessage()?

Re: Code refactoring to minimize listeners & decoupling actions from view class
Hi dodo,

Why would you want to do that? GWT follows (roughly) Swing/SWT
programing model which is sometimes known as Model Delegate, a
derivative of Model View Controller in which the Controllers and Views
are merged:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ModelDelegate
Therefore the current situation as you describe is typical. There are
specific situations where it is a good idea to abstract action related
code to separate controllers, and various ways to do it, but It is use
case dependent.

Again, this is a standard pattern with a Composite and makes for
simpler more readable code. If (and only if) the widgets contained in
the composite are invisible to the outside world (private , no public
getters) then it is simplest and cleanest to have them call each other
directly as necessary. For example if you have a row of tool buttons
then a single ClickListener can handle their clicks and the main
Composite can control behaviour most simply e.g. :
public void onClick(Widget sender) {
if (sender==button1) {doX();}
if (sender==button2 {doY();}
// where doX() and doY() are private methods of the composite
}
Where an event fired from such private widgets does need to be
propagated to the outside world, it is common to to delegate the task
to the Composite itself, for example:
public void onClick(Widget sender) {
if (sender==button1) {
this.listeners.fireChange(this); // i.e. not the button
}
So the Composite provides a single view to the outside world, and the
internals can talk to each other freely in the knowledge no outside
class has any knowledge of them (i.e. they are fully encapsulated, and
outside client classes register listeners with the Composite itself
only.). There are specific classes in GWT to assist with this idea,
for example DelegatingClickListenerCollection etc. I think this may be
the origin of the Model Delegate pattern name. Basically it makes
coding many common UI situations simpler and more readable than full
MVC decomposition with no nasty side effects in most cases.
Some situations benefit from full MVC decomposition. One example is a
bulk data grid renderer, especially where the user can sort by column
etc. Having a controller that manages and coordinates the paging/
sorting with the server data source separately from the view is
probably worth it. Another is where you have several views in the UI
that show different aspects of the same data model. For example a work
flow process might have several views, and a step might be ticked off
in any of them, but that might require an update of all the other
views as well. That implies a single shared model which in turn argues
for a single controller with which the views interact and listen to.

gregor

Re: Buttons in horizontal panel not aligning to the left
You could try putting the buttons in a second HP nested inside your existing one and assign it to cell 1. Don't size it (or maybe you will have to give it a cell width of 1%) but set spacing as desired. Then i think you may need to put a filler widget of some kind (e.g. SimplePanel/HTML) in cell 2 and give this a cell width of 100%. This should squash the buttons to the left and make them immune to resizing of the outer HP as the filler widget only will expand. If you want a margin to the left to slightly indent the button row, same trick: add an additional filler widget and give it a hard pixel value cell width.

Re: ScrollPanel maxWidth or maxHeight?
Oh right...
I think you've got to make sure that the whatever the ScrollPanel
contains has actually reduced in size already - if it hasn't the
ScrollPanel will refuse to cooperate (i.e. it won't squash it's
contents by itself). Then you need to reset it to "1px" more than the
height/width of its contents (1px is fine if contents is now 0) in
order to get rid of the scroll bars ("0px" etc is ignored as I
recall). It won't do that by itself. After that you'll have to try
things out - I've always reset ScrollPanel's to a specific height
after this procedure, so I don't know how to release it from the "1px"
instruction without specifying another. I think I would use debugger
to find out exact style properties of ScrollPanel whilst it's in
growing mode to start with, and attempt to replicate that. If it has
nothing in height/width you may have a problem because, as you say,
you may not be allowed to actually remove a style attribute once it's
there, only modify it, in which case the ScrollPanel may stubbornly
refuse to cooperate.
You might be forced to attempt a detach of the items widget, replace
ScollPanel with a new one, and reattach the items widget to it, or
some such...
or you might consider another way to do this altogether -
ScrollPanel's can be tiresome, uncooperative widgets at times ;-)

Re: Calling of business method from Client
Hi Arul, Check out: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit-incubator/wiki/TreeTable Personally I find tree tables sometimes look confusing, especially if there are significant differences in the structure and/or size of the nodes, but a lot of people like them. They are also complicated widgets. I would consider as an alternative breaking up the structure into three widgets, for example: 1. A list of Accounts (Acc No) to pick from left side (a HorizontalPanel basically). 2. A standard Tree widget representing Account Name nodes at top level with the rules and tests nested underneath located top right 3. A "leaf data panel" to show details of a particular test or rule selected from the Tree, located bottom right. You could use HorizontalSplitPanel and VerticalSplitPanel to divide up the display giving much more flexibility to the user's view of the data, and I think you may find it looks a lot better and is easier to use. There are other alternatives involving DisclosurePanels etc. This approach may not only be easier for the user, but you may find it a lot easier to code as well. regards gregor On Feb 6, 3:48 pm, Arul wrote: > Hi Gregor, > I some how managed GWT component as replacement of my presentation > layer. > currenlty my application will be displaying like tree structure as > menu in the left hand and selecting each link its content is diplayed > in right side in grid with rows and columns.

Re: Best image preloading practice?
@Litty: yes, I think you are right, my ignorance. Image.prefetch() will causes the image to be loaded into browser cache. You then use the same URL to instantiate an Image object later in code, and hopefully the image binary will be already downloaded. This old Mozzilla doc describes the process: http://devedge-temp.mozilla.org/viewsource/2003/link-prefetching/index_en.html The doc suggests the behavior darkflame described in OP, namely, browser is busy downloading all the prefetches it finds in the page. @darkflame: > > b) If I do have to load, say, upto 10 images that have to be seperate, > is it better to just loop over a list of them prefetching and leave it > upto the browseror should I put a timer and trigger a load every, > say, 5 seconds ? > (or dosnt it make much difference). > My reading of the Mozzilla doc is that the browser will notice all the prefetch tags when it loads the page, and it will then get busy downloading them. So I have doubts whether where you put the Image.prefetch(url) in execution logic makes any difference, i.e. you do not have fine tune programmatic control over prefetch so you can't code to prefetch first 10, then later trigger prefetching next 10. For example the Mozzilla doc states "The link tag has to be inside the head tag to make prefetching work" etc. > On Feb 6, 9:14 am, Litty Preeth wrote: > > > > > "You are thinking of loading 20MB of images into the DHTML DOM of you > > > > application" > > > > > Am I?

I'm not absolutely sure, but I think if you load an image it is basically attached to a document, whether the browser caches it or not, and whether it is currently visible of not. You don't control the browser cache, I mean I don't think you can tell it to conveniently download all your images and store them neatly on disk until you need to display them for example. It's also more than likely each browser does things differently. > > But the vaste majority of players should happily be able to load > 20-30MB onto their hard disk for the course of the game. That's my point: I don't think it works like that, I can see why it would be nice for you if it did. The browser probably does store images locally in some circumstances, but I believe this would be for virtual backing for the document it's loaded/displaying if required for memory management purposes. I.e. you've got a document of 20MB loaded which it must manipulate. I may be wrong, you'd need to investigate to be sure. > > "They > are deliberately designed to make downloading huge chunks of binary > data difficult, especially transparently, and they are not expecting > to have to display 20MB worth of images at once.

Or if it worked fast enough you could fetch all the required images for the adjoining locations so they would be ready to go instantly. It depends entirely on no of image bytes per location. Point is doing it this way old images are thrown away and can be garbage collected as you go, so you are not accumulating images in memory. It's stable.

This is exactly what the GWT ImageBundle does (and what has been best practice in web design for years). Annoyingly for you GWT only does this once per module because Bruce says they can't think of a single use case for needing separate ImageBundles! My bet is that if you just start loading all the images as you are suggesting, you will have to attach them to the DOM somewhere, so ultimately what you will be doing is building the entire game at the same time as the player is trying to play the first locations. So my betting is three to one on a) whilst this build is going on the game play will be badly affected at precisely the time you least want it to, and b) once you've loaded it all it will run like a dog anyway. I may well be wrong, but if I'm not, and you looked at the maze idea as plan B, then using image strips a la ImageBundle will make the game run much faster and smoother, so the effort might well be critical in the end. This is after all the heart of your technical challenge. This has been done so many times I expect you will find some javascript code that cuts them
Re: ScrollPanel maxWidth or maxHeight?
Oh, in your use case, Alex, you do have an event - adding an item to the panel. Just check the height after new item added and set the height of the ScrollPanel in pixels if max value reached I would think answers. I have looked in vain for a general method to get ScrollPanels to resize and generally behave by themselves. I think the reason is that individual divs/table cells etc do not generate events when their size changes. ScrollPanel is basically a div with an overflow setting. I have supposed this is because there can be hundreds if not thousands of boxes on a page, so if they all emitted an event every time they changed their width/heights the browser's event queue would be brought to its knees.

Re: ScrollPanel maxWidth or maxHeight?
Hi Alex, I think you have to explicitly specify the height of a ScollPanel in pixels to get the scroll bars to kick in, and that will set the height of the panel from the word go. If what you mean is that you want a panel to start at a minimum size, then grow as things are added to it, but then to stop growing and go into scroll mode at a certain point, I do not think that is realistically possible since there is no event you can listen for that would tell you when the panel had grown to a given height. You can listen for the browser window changing, but not for an individual panel. I suppose one approach might be to set up a timer to check the current height at intervals and take appropriate action when it hit the limit, but this sounds very inefficient. regards gregor On Feb 5, 9:29 am, "alex.d" wrote: > Hi folks, > I'm trying to impelement a scrollpanel that becomes bigger (height) to > the certain size (maxHeight) when populating it with data.

Re: View remaining content of a full ocuupied window after resizing
Hi Aragorn, Enabling scrolling in Window class should give you main window scroll bars. Resizing the browser window can be difficult to get right, it depends on your application. If all your widgets are sized relatively in percentage terms then sometimes it works out OK automatically. If not you can attach a WindowResizeListener to your EntryPoint class and kick off resizing algorithms from the onWIndowResize(..) method. regards gregor On Feb 5, 1:09 pm, aragorn wrote: > I have created a webpage which fits itself to the size of the browser > window at start.

Re: Get remaining height of a panel or window
It sounds as though you are calling getOffsetHeight before the display has been fully rendered. A solution is to put your sizing algorithms inside a DeferredCommand. That way panel A should have been rendered already, and now it will have its height property set.

Re: Best image preloading practice?
issue? A cpu one? I think in total we are only talking > about 20MB of images here, 30MB at most. You are thinking of loading 20MB of images into the DHTML DOM of you application. The DOM is maintained by the browser, and it is not designed to deal with 20MB documents (big e.g. PDF's are downloaded into viewer plug-ins etc). Would you serve a single 20MB static HTML page? Most people consider a 1MB javacript file to be big. I'm not sure what the practical limits really are for the different browsers, and it probably also depends to some extent on what else they have running in other browser tabs. Personally I would avoid this approach, it doesn't feel right at all. > I'm thinking there should be a way to load continiously in the > background, but not to burden the browser with too many call's at > once. You can only download one binary file per http request. Remember there are security restrictions in place around this since binaries are dangerous things so you are limited in what you can do in a straight AJAX web app (you need an applet or flex to escape from these). Consequently browsers control binary file download with a view to enabling image files to be fetched easily enough, but other file types require user confirmation for what to do. It's this security issue and how the browsers deal with it that you are running up against. They are deliberately designed to make downloading huge chunks of binary data difficult, especially transparently, and they are not expecting to have to display 20MB worth of images at once. If you leave it to the browser, it makes one Http call per image and you cannot guarantee the order they will be fetched. If you do it yourself (using file download servlet), you also get one binary file per request, but you can chain calls in a specific order. The point of the composite image strip is to fetch several images in one request since they come in a single binary file. > > > Cheers, > Darkflame > > On Feb 4, 7:51 pm, gregor wrote: > > > I'm not sure this a "best practice" issue as such - I think you may > > have more of an "edge case" here.

Re: Events loop
It's difficult to see from this. You could strip out your data loading code and event handling, put them back bit by bit until you hit the problem, and post the relevant code if it's still not clear.

Re: Best image preloading practice?
I'm not sure this a "best practice" issue as such - I think you may have more of an "edge case" here. I've tried your game (although I can't understand what to do after first screen), but what happens is that the browser is slogging away downloading data (presumably your images) which gives gutter messages and hour glasses etc. This is very distracting, but if you had to wait for the whole lot to download before the game started you'd probably get bored and go somewhere else. I would have thought the best approach might be to download the images as required for each level as the player advances through the game, and I would think displaying a "Loading area..." type message after they have completed a level is a traditional approach for games, especially giving them something to read whilst they are waiting. This approach is not so well served by GWT because AFAIK you can only have one ImageBundle per module and in any case it is downloaded on initial page load. You may find this thread interesting: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/1106bc10356e9880/60fc5167fe4b1040?lnk=gst&q=multiple+module+bruce+ian+buffoon#60fc5167fe4b1040 In it Bruce Johnson comments: 4) History is the answer to apps that are "too big". If you combine the points from #2 and #3 above, hopefully it makes sense that whenever you fear your app is becoming "too big" for a single page, all you need to do is split it into multiple pages such that each page has a unique module with a unique entry point. History smooths all the page junction points, and the compiler is smart enough to eliminate code you don't use from each page's entry point(s). Which would appear to answer the one ImageBundle per module issue and provide convenient inter-level load points. However I would also read what Reinier has to say about it as he also knows what he's talking about. It would certainly complicate your program. Failing that, you could consider handling image strips yourself. You assemble a single composite image manually of all images required for a single level in some convenient extraction grid. Then you use an Image object for this composite image, but before you give it the URL, you attach a LoadListener to it - this is so can tell when its finished loading in your code and control the loading message and the UI during level load procedure and kick off extracting the individual image parts etc. It's a bit tricky to extract bits of one image to create several others in your own code. I did it once for an experiment, it looked like this: Image sampleImage = new Image(someURL) . . HTML box = new HTML(); Node imageClone = sampleImage.getElement().cloneNode(false); box.getElement().appendChild(imageClone); grid.setWidget(i, j, box); Image part = Image.wrap((Element)imageClone); part.setVisibleRect(7,7,10,10); The problem I found is that you can use an Element to make a new Image object (which you can then clip), but it must be attached to the DOM already, hence the messing about. This works, but I make no claim that it is the most, or even a reasonably, efficient way to do it. There may be a much better way to do this in GWT, or you may find that you can do it better in javascript and use a JSNI interface. It might be worth searching the javascript forums for some ideas, as I'm sure this has been done before. regards gregor On Feb 4, 1:37 pm, darkflame wrote: > No, this is a large number of very large images, bundles are not > approporate as that would mean they would all be loaded at once, and > the user would have to effectively preload the whole game. > This is not about icons, but actual images.

Re: What is the most preferred way !!??
ner equivalent to method 2.
It's instructive to compare this with how a normal Button is
constructed in methods 1 & 2.
function $SandBox(this$static){
this$static.layout = $HorizontalPanel(new HorizontalPanel());
this$static.ajaysButtonOne = $SandBox$1(new SandBox$1(), "Ajay's
One");
this$static.ajaysButtonTwo = $SandBox$2(new SandBox$2(), "Ajay's
Two");
return this$static;
}
function $EButton(this$static, text){
$ButtonBase(this$static, $doc.createElement('button'));
adjustType(this$static.element);
this$static.element['className'] = 'gwt-Button';
$setInnerText(this$static.element, text);
$addClickListener(this$static, this$static);
return this$static;
}
function EButton(){
}
_ = EButton.prototype = new Button();
_.typeId$ = 23;
function $SandBox$1(this$static, $anonymous0){
$EButton(this$static, $anonymous0);
return this$static;
}
function onClick(sender){
$wnd.alert('Ebutton 1');
}
function SandBox$1(){
}
_ = SandBox$1.prototype = new EButton();
_.onClick = onClick;
_.typeId$ = 24;
function $SandBox$2(this$static, $anonymous0){
$EButton(this$static, $anonymous0);
return this$static;
}
function onClick_0(sender){
$wnd.alert('Ebutton 2');
}
function SandBox$2(){
}
_ = SandBox$2.prototype = new EButton();
_.onClick = onClick_0;
_.typeId$ = 25;
So my reading of this is:
1) All three methods involve creating a Button instance which
translates into a native Button element provided by the browser and
attached to the DOM.
2) All three methods involve creating one or more listener objects
(sandBox$1, SandBox$2 etc) that are added to the static ClickListsner
Collection
3) When a Click event is fired from the browser, the click listeners
are queried to see if any are registered with the clicked DOM element.
4) In method one there is only one of them, so that question is
answered very quickly
5) In methods 2 & 3, the more buttons there are, the longer this
takes.
6) Although EButtons appear to register themselves with themselves
($addClickListener(this$static, this$static)) they still go through
the same rigmarole through the listener collection if one is clicked -
they do not bypass it by saying "oh, I can just call myself" as far as
I can see.
7) The EButton option results in marginally more code than the inner
class option, and massively more than the shared listener option
(multiply it all up by e.g. 100), may run slower as a result even by
comparison with the inner class option, and will certainly increase
the size of the javascript files.
8) I think it demonstrates conclusively why using the single listener
technique can make a huge difference if you have a large number of
clickable widgets in an application.

Re: What is the most preferred way !!??

Each button is now itself a separate click event listener. So I don't think this answers the warning given in the link about large numbers of event listeners. Also I doubt if there would be much material difference if any in the javascript generated between your EButton and a normal Button with an anonymous ClickListener, or none that would have any effect on performance anyway - you can always compile with -PRETTY and check. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

Re: Self-Updating List
Use GWT RPC (or you can use HttpRequestBuilder if your backend is not Java). It is an asynchronous mechanism therefore client's thread is released as soon as the request is fired off, the response being fielded later in a separate Callback method. The UI is therefore free for the duration of the round trip to the server. On Feb 1, 1:53 am, "winhqwebm...@gmail.com" wrote: > Hello All, > > I'm new to AJAX and GWT in general.

Yes, that is a problem and is what I was getting at talking about
"granularity". If each main component (Composite) has one
ClickListener, then it's not much of a problem providing the component
isn't either too big or too small and hasn't got too many/few
responsibilities. Additionally it is sometimes convenient and more
readable to group event handling code for a component like that. The
new event system coming with 1.6 will make it much easier than it is
now to write readable and concise event handling code - I agree that
the current event system breaks down somewhat where multiple event
sources trigger multiple possible actions depending on various state
conditions.

Well, that's what the article I linked was warning you about. I can't
see that what you are proposing is that much different from the
standard anonymous ClickListener per button approach.

Re: What is the most preferred way !!??
Well, buttons don't implement ClickListener, they implement
SourcesClickEvents (amongst other things). It looks to me like your
EButton would effectively be listening for it's own click events? So
each EButton would have to handle its own action independently, and
you could not then by definition share a ClickListener between
multiple buttons. I can't at the moment see what you are trying to
achieve with this line of reasoning.

Re: what design pattern to use with DWT
Actually, looking (briefly!) at Ian's links, GWT could probably be best described as ModelDelegate, which is classified as a derivative of MVC and is what Swing is called it seems.: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ModelDelegate Also this is a short explanation from Wikipedia of MVC and Swing GUI frameworks [edit] Java: Java Swing Java Swing is different from the other frameworks in that it supports two MVC patterns: Model Frame level model—Like other frameworks, the design of the real model is usually left to the developer. Control level model—Swing also supports models on the level of controls (elements of the graphical user interface). Unlike other frameworks, Swing exposes the internal storage of each control as a model. View The view is represented by a class that inherits from Component. Controller Java Swing doesn't use a single controller. Because its event model is based on interfaces, it is common to create an anonymous action class for each event.[citation needed] In fact, the real controller is in a separate thread, the Event dispatching thread. It catches and propagates the events to the view and model. I think this explanation fits very well into GWT's model - we have the browser's event queue, and we also often use anonymous inner classes for event listeners.

Re: what design pattern to use with DWT
I think the guts of MVC was invented (as so much was) at Xerox's Palo Alto research center when they invented the first WIMP UIs in the 70's. This fed into Smalltalk and was taken up also with Apple Lisa by the early 80's. Since most systems at the time were based around text screens run from mainframes, they needed a new programming model that could handle the idea of the user being able to click on any widget on the screen in any order at any time rather than being run through a predetermined script, hence MVC. I'm not sure they had the idea of the Observer pattern at the time, and I think Ben is right that the Observer pattern is now an alternative/replacement for Controllers in GUI programming. GWT is designed to use it. In that sense, I would say maybe the best pattern for GWT client coding might be called Model View Observer rather than MVC.

Re: What is the most preferred way !!??
Hi Ajay,
A common reason for using a single event listener across many links/
buttons etc is performance. See:
http://code.google.com/docreader/#p=google-web-toolkit-doc-1-5&s=google-web-toolkit-doc-1-5&t=FAQ_UIUseOneListener
As Danox says, there is no one best approach, it depends on the
application type and size. The main issues are encapsulation,
decoupling, and granularity. A good unit of granularity is, say, a
Composite panel that performs a main task in your UI and may have
several widgets inside it including a number of links/buttons.
Within the Composite all the buttons/links etc are visible, so a
single ClickListener instance can service them all, e.g. {
public void onClick(Widget sender) {
if (sender==b1) {
doSomething(..)
else if (sender==b2) {
changeListeners.fireChange(..);
..// etc
}
Technically you can make a second main Composite component implement
ClickListener and register it with a button buried in Composite 1. I
think that is probably a bit too fine grained and involves Composite 2
knowing about Composite 1 internals (breaks encapsulation). I prefer
to implement events visible to other main components at the Composite
level. So Composite 2 registers with Composite 1, and Composite 1
mediates between Composite 2 and the button concerned.

Re: what design pattern to use with DWT
I would not get too hung up on the "Controller" part of MVC. I don't
know php, but it sounds the same as struts: cycles of pages (views)
rendered to client driven by action classes (controllers) that both
use a model (beans in Java speak). These action classes that drive
generation of the next view fit beautifully into MVC pattern as
controllers, but in a GWT application there is no need of them because
this work can be done on either the client or the server as
appropriate for the use case, and in general the more on the client
the better (keep as much state as possible on client). Therefore
exactly what a "controller" is in a GWT application is IMO a slippery
concept.
I would recommend two things:
1) If you are starting a new project download 1.6 from trunk to take
advantage of the new Event model. It is much more powerful than the
existing <=1.5 event system. Unfortunately there is is little
documentation for it yet (even the javadoc is sparse) but I'm sure
questions about it would be answered here PDQ. Experimenting with this
will help you determine how you might best design your client GUI,
i.e. how your main components might best communicate between
themselves and when necessary with the server.
2) In an ideal (MVC) world what Ian calls "smarts" should live in
domain model classes, and these should flow freely across networks. As
Ian points out this is sometimes possible and sometimes (perhaps most
often) it isn't because we are dealing with a given technology stack
that we can't alter in the short term. I don't think there is any one
satisfactory answer to this question - every application has it's own
use cases that will rub up against technology stack limitations in
different ways. My point is that thinking about this (i.e. how to
implement a domain model in a real world stack) is much more important
than worrying about what a "controller" is.

Re: Web ontology language file (OWL) into gwt tree
Hi Ed, Are you talking about just a smallish ontology (i.e. the class definitions etc) which you want to display/edit (e.g. for schema design purposes), or are you talking about processing a lot of data from/defined in an OWL source (e.g. navigation/search purposes)? I don't use OWL sources, but I use RDF/RDFS data quite a lot. I load RDF files into a Sesame memory store on server and fire SeRQL queries against it from GWT RPC servlets. This works pretty well. Jenna is an alternative. I would think writing a client side OWL browser/editor is non-trivial, and not helped by the limitations of GWT JRE Emulation. A lot easier I would think to let Sesame/Jenna do the work on the server, and ship the results in small chunks to the client. For example I use one RDF source that defines about 3500 classes and subclasses. I use a lazy load Tree widget for one view of this (i.e get the top layer, get next layers if/when user clicks to open branch). This is very quick (Sesame does the queries in about 16-32ms). If you need to edit the ontology itself, that's another matter. regards gregor On Jan 27, 11:42 pm, "eoc...@googlemail.com" wrote: > Hi, > > I have a web ontology file (.owl) that I have parsed into a string > using the RequestBuilder and was wondering how I can access all of the > individual owl:classes and their subclasses on the client, then build > a tree from this hierarchy as the xmlparser/dom does not work for this > purpose (though as you might expect it has worked on a test xml case). > > An alternative would be to use the OWL api on the server and return a > hashmap of all the owl:class,sub:class values, then construct the tree > from the hashmap. > > I was just wondering whether its possible to do it on the client.

Re: interacting users
Your server needs to run the games, and you need to look at "server push" mechanisms to update the client board displays with moves. You probably also need to do this so people can invite each other to play. One method is polling, the other is blocking threads (known as "comet"). You can look these up on this group and elsewhere for details. Once two people decide to play, you can create a new game instance on the server and "push" the game start state to both clients. Basically if player 1 (White) makes a move "e2e4" it is submitted to server, but the request is left hanging (blocked). Player 2 (Black) already has a "hanging request" from the game start, so "e2e4" is transmitted to him/her to complete this request with the move. When player 2 submits "c7c5" player 1's hanging thread is written to, and so on. An interesting question would be how best to manage the player clocks, especially for speed chess. "Pushing" opponent's move to client should be reasonably easy, but synchronizing the three clocks (player 1client , player 2 client , server) in a fair way might be trickier even though move packets should be very small. You probably need to think through the implications of the delay between player I making move and player 2 receiving it etc. regards gregor On Jan 27, 3:33 pm, Owen Powell wrote: > Hi guys, > > I'd like to know a bit about how to setup user interactions.

Re: Problem with file upload
I think you understand the problem now.
If you wish to continue trying to get round this (i.e. continue to use
the Image newPhoto = new Image("category/photoName) approach) then you
will have to search around the Internet to see if someone has a good
solution for it (that also works in GWT hosted mode BTW!). Remember,
what you are doing is trying to use a very simple method to read the
new dynamically added photos (just by short relative URL) instead of
using a more robust persistence mechanism The public folder is not
designed to handle dynamic data like that, it's meant for static HTML,
CSS, js, image files etc. so you are hitting problems. There may be a
way to do it, I don't know. Someone must have tried before I suppose.
The alternative is to create a more robust mechanism for storing your
photo albums, setting it up automatically when you deploy the
application. One way to do this is to follow these steps:
1) Place your "start up" example albums in, say, \src\albums. When you
deploy to real Tomcat copy this folder to WEB-INF\classes\album. This
means it is in the classpath for both development and deployment.
2) Add an override init() method to your LoadPhotoFromAlbum RPC
servlet (or any other sevlet you always call before that). In this
method examine if you have already created the real photo album on
disk (i.e. you have preciously run the application on this server),
and if not copy the start up album to set it up. In a real Tomcat
instance you can specify a start up servlet in web.xml to do this, but
you can't (easily) do this in GWT hosted mode). Because you put the
the start up albums in classes\albums & src\albums, you can get at
them using \albums.
3) You need a relative disk location to store the photo album that is
separate from your web application folders but still portable. You
can, for example, place it relative to your Tomcat instance
directories. To get the directory paths you can examine System
properties. This, for example, works for JBoss, Tomcat and GWT hosted
mode Tomcat:
private static String getSystemBaseDir() {
// try JBoss
String dir = System.getProperty("jboss.server.home.dir");
if (dir!=null) {
log.info("Using JBoss: " + dir);
return dir + File.separator + "data";
}
// try Tomcat
dir = System.getProperty("catalina.home");
if (dir!=null) {
log.info("Using Tomcat: " + dir);
return dir;
}
// otherwise GWT hosted mode default
dir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
log.info("Using default dir: " + dir);
return dir;
}
use this to create and subsequently query your album directory
structure under the main Tomcat home directory, but not under the
webapps directory, or your own application's directory. If in any
doubt about which system properties are available, just put this in a
servlet:
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.list(System.out);
4) Use a Filedownload HttpServlet to get the images instead of using
Image(url) thatreads the photo file and writes it to the servlet
response output stream. Search this group for examples of that, and
there are many examples on the net.
This will definitely work, and it will also work in GWT hosted mode,
Tomcat, and any other servlet container or application server you add
support for in that getSystemBaseDir() method.

A smallish non-trivial app with maybe 30-40 client side classes should come in maybe 150K. An app with maybe 200/300+ classes should come in around maybe 400K. The latter being in range of a serious business web application UI. I think people have mentioned js file sizes of around 800K - 1MB on the group for big enterprise applications. Make sure your GWT compiler setting is -OBFUSCATE if you haven't done so - this makes a huge difference. Otherwise you may have written something strange to produce this js file of 500Kb. The other thing to remember is that these js files are usually cached by the browser and subsequently checked for updates, so people using the app every day from the same workstation don't wait for this download. If the app is big, it is usually building the UI HTML (i.e. running the javascript) that takes the time, therefore phasing construction, generating parts in reasonable chunks on demand, can make a much bigger difference. regards gregor > What will happen when I finish developing my product?

Re: Problem with file upload
Hi Danielle, I might have twigged what the problem is if you are getting this problem in hosted mode. In hosted mode, the GWT dev shell creates a temporary Tomcat instance, but it does not seem to copy the public or client folders to that instance, only the servlets and server side stuff. I think it just reads the client and public folders from your source tree and loads them internally so it can run the browser simulation via Java (so you can debug your client in Java etc). It will only pick up the new image if you click refresh. If it does not pick it up if you click refresh, but does if you recompile, you have a more difficult problem. You need to be quite certain on this point. You can check this yourself by creating an Image in client for a file name that does not exist and running hosted mode. It won't find it, and if you copy the image file to /public whist it is still running it still won't find it. But if you hit refresh it will.

Re: Problem with file upload
OK, say I have test project com.willow.sandbox.Sandbox.gwt.xml
I run project in hosted mode and URL in the hosted mode browser when I
run it is:
http://localhost:/com.willow.sandbox.SandBox/SandBox.html
I manually put an image in c:\\src\com\willow\sandbox\public\images
\star.gif
I display this image in panel like so in my test GWT application:
someWidget.add(new Image(images/star.gif);
I run application again and It works fine. Now, still in same hosted
mode session, I select "compile/browse". This displays my application
in my system default browser, but as part of that process it also
compiles all the javascirpt, HTML files etc and sets up the public
folder - including my image, start.gif This also works, so I close
this browser tab for now.
I know open new browser tab and enter this URL (but I do *not* stop
the hosted mode run - this won't work if you do that because the GWT
hosted mode Tomcat will be also stopped):
http://localhost:/com.willow.sandbox.SandBox/images/star.gif
So my system browser finds and displays the star.gif image no problem!
If you follow these steps (using your own paths for the URL of
course), since we have already proved that the new image file has been
correctly saved (because String[] photoList = photo.list(); picked it
up), then you should be able to display the new image in your system
browser, thus proving beyond reasonable doubt it is really there.
That will further isolate your problem to either some error in your
client side code (however unlikely that may seem since it works when
you reboot), or something weird going on with browser caching.

Re: How to know if my application is running in Firefox or in IE or in any other browser
Hi LFCPD,
I agree with Lothar that you should try to achieve your objective
without recourse to detecting the browser.
You are not clear if a) you are inserting the Strings in program code
or b) user is typing them in.
If a) you could back your TextArea entries with a simple model e.g.
String [] days or List days and use that later in your code.
If b) you could consider using e.g. a FlexTable with one row per day,
use KeyBoardListener/KeyboardListenerAdapter to pick up press
and prepare next input row. This should be more robust, albeit more
complicated to code.
If you absolutely must detect the browser you can do it something like
this (I've retired this code now so it's probably out of date).
public class Browser {
public static boolean isIE() {
return getBrowserType().equals("ie6");
}
public static native String getBrowserType() /*-{
var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
if (ua.indexOf("opera") != -1) {
return "opera";
}
else if (ua.indexOf("webkit") != -1) {
return "safari";
}
else if ((ua.indexOf("msie 6.0") != -1) ||
(ua.indexOf("msie 7.0") != -1)) {
return "ie6";
}
else if (ua.indexOf("gecko") != -1) {
var result = /rv:([0-9]+)\.([0-9]+)/.exec
(ua);
if (result && result.length == 3) {
var version = (parseInt(result[1]) * 10) +
parseInt(result[2]);
if (version >= 18)
return "gecko1_8";
}
return "gecko";
}
return "unknown";
}-*/;
}
