Hi there, thanks a lot for your suggestions I will have a look at it! Mark PS: I searched my mailing on the webinterface at google groups but couldnt find it.

Re: Best practises in automatic test and deployment
Mark, I would imagine the process you need to develop will dictate your tools. If you're just using InteliJ, you need to get Maven, Ant, or whatever building you project outside it first. That choice might dictate which app server you use to test.

Re: Best practises in automatic test and deployment
Hi, Did you think about using Google App Engine for your unit testing: it's 1-click deploy (also possible via Ant Task) and no issue in provisioning hardware and software: Google does it for you. That what I do to be as fast as possible in my devs and tests. NB: sql is not usable on GAE but if you use appropriate Data Access Objects, it's a non issue. regards didier On Dec 1, 3:10 pm, Mark van Veen mark.vanv...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am using GWT now for half a year now and the project is growing and growing.

Hi Didier, I already thought about that but I cant put our app in the cloud because of our internal company policies :-(. regards, Mark 2010/12/1 Didier Durand durand.did...@gmail.com Hi, Did you think about using Google App Engine for your unit testing: it's 1-click deploy (also possible via Ant Task) and no issue in provisioning hardware and software: Google does it for you.

Indeed, building in your IDE isn't really portable and it certainly doesn't get you reproducible builds. It's only appropriate for individual developers. I already found tools like maven and Hudson CI which could help me with that. Yes, this combination should be able to do everything you're looking for. What I am still missing is a automatic way of generating war files which are deployed on the test server(with different properties like db connection and user) and after the commitment from the test team it will deployed on the production server automaticly. Is there something or can this handled by maven as well? Furhter i am looking for an automatic way of running our sql files when they changed on the db server before deploying the gwt application. Obviously, Maven can generate your WARs. You'll need to use Maven profiles to generate different WARs for production and test. (Actually, you should try *very* hard to take all such properties out and put them in a separate [i.e. outside of the WAR] file or something. You really don't want to have to build different artifacts for different environments.) Also, have a look at the plugins below. http://mojo.codehaus.org/sql-maven-plugin/ http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/ http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/ http://cargo.codehaus.org/ I am not very familiar with these kind of tools so I thought it would be a good idea to ask you guys as this should be a challenge for some of you. I've done most of what you're trying to do. I generate test data with the sql-maven-plugin and run my integration (Selenium) tests using the cargo plugin. I would not say it's easy and completely straightforward but it's definitely possible. Don't underestimate the amount of work involved but it's absolutely worth it. Cheers, Hilco P.S. Be prepared for some political battles when/if you're introducing automation. Some people feel threatened by such a change. You may have to do some preparatory work to come up with cost savings and point out the (obvious) efficiency improvements. Talk to all affected parties early on and get their input. Build support early on. Don't treat it as a technical issue, it's a people issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.
