Re: Mutiple EntryPoint Modules in Hosted Mode under Eclipse? is it Possible?
Yes, this is what I want to do. I was hoping we could do it directly from hosted mode. I do not know if I understood well, but what you are basically saying is that We can not run an application/project that involves multiple modules, each one having a different entrypoint in hosted mode? Did I parse correctly what you said? Thanks for clarifying. RSN.

Re: Mutiple EntryPoint Modules in Hosted Mode under Eclipse? is it Possible?
Actually, you can, but you'll have to compile them both first. To clarify what I mean...if I do this: mvn clean mvn gwt:run -DrunTarget=package.namespace.App1/App1.html Then try to switch URL to App2, it will fail b/c that is not compiled yet. but if I do this: mvn clean mvn gwt:compile mvn gwt:run -DrunTarget=package.namespace.App1/App1.html I should be able to switch URLS between the two apps in hosted mode. It is possible, you just have to make sure all apps are compiled. On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 2:10 PM, Romeo Sanchez romeo.sanc...@gmail.comwrote: Yes, this is what I want to do.

Re: Mutiple EntryPoint Modules in Hosted Mode under Eclipse? is it Possible?
I'm still not really clear on what you are doing, but is this any help? In 1.7 you can run 2 individual projects at the same time from within Eclipse if you use -noserver. You'll need 2 local web servers (I use Abyss) each having their document root pointed at one of the war folders of the projects, and each running on a different port. You'll need to use the -port switch in the launch file to point each project at the right server. Works in 2.0, too, but you also need to set different -portHosted settings or they'll clash. Ian http://examples.roughian.com 2009/10/15 Romeo Sanchez romeo.sanc...@gmail.com Basically, in my scenario, each project provides services. In theory, they can be deployed individually to different servers. One of the projects, lets say Project A, collects some data and sends the data to Project B. Project A is basically requiring Project B to fulfill one of its goals. I know that I can deploy first project B somewhere, and use HTTP POST requests or something alike in Project A to transmit my data to the deployed Project B. However, I would like to be able to run the whole thing in hosted mode, in other words, to be able to simulate the environment during development, testing and debugging. For example, I can do that directly with two different JAVA projects in Eclipse. I can manipulate both at the same time, compile and run configurations, debug the projects, and see the effects of my changes. I was just wondering if something similar is possible for GWT. Where, I have both projects being loaded in hosted mode, the main project and the dependency project. And then test cross-module functionality among them. In my case, I will be transmitting data, but it could be something else. I do not know if I am not being clear, or if I really need to go to some intensive GWT training. I understand the concept of importing modules (inheriting), but I was just wondering if while inheriting you could also be testing and developing not only in the main but also in the inherited modules.
