Re: Introduce SmartGWT for collapse/expand panel for with existing project

2014-02-17 Thread Leung
If I start my project from zero now, I may consider the advantage of SmartGWT. 
If I have developed features for a few years and all are using rpc, I don't 
think it deserve to change it.

Anyone shares the same thought?

Some thoughts on using SmartGWT:

* The SmartGWT developers are VERY insistent that you should develop your 
application using their APIs and structure, as otherwise you are "wasting time" 
and "duplicating effort" they've already put in.  To be fair, they do have a 
bit of a point in that they have designed things to work a certain way, and put 
a lot of time into that structure.
* That said, SmartGWT has enough flexibility that you can somewhat pick and 
choose how you use it, including just using the UI aspects.  For example, 
there's a post in the SmartGWT forum that offers up a subclass of the 
DataSource feature that uses GWT-RPC for communication instead of SmartGWT's 
normal protocol.  I've got an application that uses SmartGWT for the client UI, 
GWT-RPC for communication with the server, and Play 1.2 (with the Play-GWT 
module) as the backend, rather than servlets and stuff.
* SmartGWT does add a pretty significant bump to your compiled JS size, at 
least 500K or so.

Overall, I'd say if you have a number of UI pieces you need to use, SmartGWT's 
an option, but probably overkill if you just need one new widget.
