Manual Serialization / Deserialization of objects

2009-06-01 Thread mayop100

Hi Guys -

I'm trying to write my own custom transport solution for client /
server communication so that I can make my project work cross-site. I
would like to serialize objects on the client side, send them to my
Jetty server using my own custom transport, and then deserialize those
objects on the server side for handling.

I've written the client code, and it seems to be working. It looks
like this:
(not that NetworkPacket implements IsSerializable, and EventService is
a dummy RemoteService)

public String serializePacket(NetworkPacket np)
{
String retVal = null;

SerializationStreamFactory fact = (SerializationStreamFactory)
GWT.create(EventService.class);
SerializationStreamWriter theSW = fact.createStreamWriter();
try
{
theSW.writeObject(np);
retVal = theSW.toString();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

return retVal;
}

This code seems to be working (it produces a reasonable-looking
string). I can't test if it deserializes though because the
serialization is asymmetric. The part I can't figure out though, is
how to deserialize on the server side. The closest I've found is the
ServerSerializationStreamReader class, which I found while poking
through the GWT source. It seems to be undocumented though, and its in
the com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.impl package, which tells me it's
probably not intended for use by my code. How am I supposed to do
this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

FlowPanel does not work as expected when a Panel is added to it

2008-12-06 Thread mayop100

I'm trying to use a FlowPanel to lay out some widgets I created. I was
able to get it to lay out checkboxes and labels, just fine, but if I
add something more complex, like a Panel, everything shows up on its
own row. Following is some code that demonstrates the problem. With
label, I was able to use display:inline to make things work, but
with Panels it does not seem to help.

FlowPanel flowPanel = new FlowPanel();
for (int i = 0; i  30; i++) {
  HorizontalPanel wrap = new HorizontalPanel();
  wrap.setStyleName(DisplayInline);
  Label lx = new Label(tesfsdf );//new PictureUploadBox());
  lx.setStyleName(DisplayInline);
  wrap.add(lx);
  flowPanel.add(wrap);
}

My CSS:
.DisplayInline {
display: inline;
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Problems adding a Digg This link

2008-11-29 Thread mayop100

Thanks for the prompt feedback guys. I played around with the HTML
widget, but I wasn't able to get it to actually execute the script. I
didn't want to just include it in my index.html file... I plan to have
multiple digg this links on the site, and each one will need to jump
to the appropriate place using history tokens.

I managed to get it working without running any javascript though. The
digg script just creates an iframe with some URL-encoded arguments, so
I simply created my own iframe and encoded the URL myself. The only
downside is that I'll have to watch out if digg ever changes their
API.

If anyone does find a way to use the HTML widget to actually create
and _execute_ javascript code I'd love to hear about it though.

 Reinier is correct there, it's more complicated than I was making it.
 That Digg script works quite a bit differently than I was guessing
 before I actually looked at it. What I meant is still possible, but
 probably not what you want depending on the situation. If your host
 page has a separate div for your GWT content, and a separate div for
 the little Digg script, what I originally said should work - but it
 would always just link (digg) to your host page (which would be your
 entire GWT app in the canonical case).

 To do this right, it looks like you would need to make sure your GWT
 app uses History and then you need to Digg the correct state with
 the tokens and so on. You could use HTML as Reinier suggests, and make
 sure to change the URL for the Digg button each time you have
 different state:

 script type=text/javascript
 digg_url = 'WEBSITE_URL';
 /script
 script src=http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js; type=text/
 javascript/script

 Looks like they also have a submit your own thing that you could
 just make a GET request to to 
 submit:http://digg.com/submit?url=example.comtitle=TITLEbodytext=DESCRIPTI

 (With that you could make your own buttons or links or whatever, and
 then just make the digg request with proper params. You could use that
 and make a Digg GWT Widget? Sorry I piped up though, I don't really
 know much about Digg in particular, I was just trying to make
 suggestions in the general GWT sense.)

  I doubt digg's js thingie is written by an intelligent developer (digg

  for a moment that won't fly, here's the easiest alternative:

  Use com.google.gwt.user.ui.HTML.

   Can't you just add the script element to your host page, the same way

   (the same place you put the gwt script tag, etc).

with my digg link. I've also tried a JSNI solution, but with no

It seems to me there should be an easy solution for this... anyone?
