Re: How do I load test data into my Widget
I think I'll just hard code a couple of the files for my purposes.

Re: How do I load test data into my Widget
Can I put the files in a war file and have the client open the files for viewing?? What you described is exactly what I want to do. Click on a available file in a list and then have it displayed in another panel. Then my main focus is to attach a note to the file.

Re: How do I load test data into my Widget
I am trying to write a widget which will be used to attach notes to documents. So I am trying to setup a mock environment to simulate this. My main focus is the notes for the documents, which I can store anywhere, but I had thought I'd store them at the end of the files I am viewing. Is there a place I can store the data files to be access the way I need without a lot of trouble? :) On Aug 16, 3:33 pm, Jim Douglas wrote: > Set aside implementation details for a second; what are you actually > trying to accomplish? > > The short answer, to respond to the question as you've phrased it > here, is that it's impossible(*) to write a browser-based application > (with GWT, hand-crafted JavaScript, or any toolkit) that will > programmatically retrieve a list of files on the client.

Re: How do I load test data into my Widget
I guess what you are looking for is uploading the files or keeping the files in server and displaying the list of available files in a location at server or war file and when clicked display the contents of the file. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

Re: How do I load test data into my Widget
Set aside implementation details for a second; what are you actually trying to accomplish? The short answer, to respond to the question as you've phrased it here, is that it's impossible(*) to write a browser-based application (with GWT, hand-crafted JavaScript, or any toolkit) that will programmatically retrieve a list of files on the client. Browser security rules forbid anything like that (for obvious reasons -- it would be Very Not Good if any random web page had the ability to go snooping around in your filesystem). (*) In this context, "impossible" disregards messing around with local security policy files and/or using browser-specific hacks.

How do I load test data into my Widget
I am using the Google Toolkit and I have created a widget with a listbox, vertical split panel and a couple of buttons. What I am trying to do is have a list of files in a local directory listed in the listbox and I want to be able to click on a file and have it displayed in the top part of the split panel. I found out the hard way about browsers and file IO and not being able to use java.io.File. What are my options? Can I put the data files inside a jar or something and have the widget read it in that way? I need to do this as a test run, to implement an new feature with working with the data. It's not going to be any kind of final server hosted application, I am not concerned about how the actual files will be loaded in the future. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
