Re: Entire Site in GWT?
Hi Guys, Thanks for all the tips, im certainty going to take them on board when I make my choice. Im pretty sure im going to go with GWT now. The next step is to choose my server architecture. I really would like to have gone with GAE however I have done some research and read it cant handle files > 1mb in size. As I need to do some image manipulation involving merging several 1mb PNGs into larger ones I think im going to be stuck if I use GAE. So my next question is does GWT play nice with other technologies and if so which do people recommend? I hope I haven't outstayed my welcome on this list!

Entire Site in GWT?
Hi Guys, First post on this list. I have searched for this question before posting. The only answer I could come up with was from a post in 2008 (http://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit/browse_thread/ thread/c852ff3491f4d128/4b1d9c08a91e25ab?lnk=gst&q=suitable+for+entire +site#4b1d9c08a91e25ab) so I thought I would ask it again in case anything has changed. As a Flash / Flex developer new to web-dev im loving the extra structure and type safety offered by GWT so im really keen to use it exclusively for a new project. So my questions are: Is GWT suitable for writing an entire website? Specifically im looking to write a site that may sit within a Facebook iframe. Has the "GWT isnt web-crawlable" issue been solved now? Is the script for every page on your site downloaded at the start or is it downloaded as you click a link (as in a traditional site)? Are there any other barriers to making an entire site in GWT? Cheers, Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
