GWT and "Real World" UI Development
I'm trying to choose an appropriate framework for a mid-large scale web app. I've built apps using JS and javascript libraries, such as Dojo and Prototype, but am looking for a more comprehensive approach. I like what I see in GWT, but for the most part I don't want to do large scale UI generation in GWT - the real world approach has been: - graphic designer lays out HTML pages w/ css - development takes pages, tweaks IDs and develops code to access those elements (via IDs) for data injection. With an existing J2EE architecture from which to retrieve data, GWT- RPC is an obvious choice. But I don't want to get into heavy developing of UI Layouts - I prefer to access object via RootPanel.get("MYID") then add components into a page already nicely laid out by my designer. The main pages are spreadsheet like tables, so my thought is to use GWT-EXT to generate and populate these tables with data. But these initially empty tables exist within an existing HTML page layout given to me. IOW, the pages are generally "semi-static" but component contents are dynamically loaded. Bottom line I don't want to get back into Swing-like coding and layout tweaking, but rather focus on M and C of the MVC paradigm. Do you think GWT is a good solution for this basic paradigm of web page development? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
