Re: Using GWT for front-end code only

[Danilo Reinert]

Hi Blake, just as a tip for dealing with the communication, you can try 
Requestor .
I created this project initially motivated by this same need (GWT front-end 
only apps).

Cheers

particular area you are seeing act slow.

@blake..Thanks for your reply..I would like to know about the 
responsiveness...how you are getting responsiveness in gxt 
application...Can you tell me the steps to get responsiveness using GXT?

Thank you.  The app is just a typical GWT app with some GXT controls.  I 
have a few cut points to avoid loading the whole app up front.  The 
back-end is also straight GWT.  I persist with PostgreSQL and Hibernate. 
 About the only fancy thing I do is I keep complete history on every add, 
change, or delete.  This way if a user went in and messed a bunch of 
records up, I can correct all the damage easily.

@Blake..I saw your app booklion.com its looking amazing...I think you have 
used GXT Is it right?How you are getting responsiveness in your app?can you 
let me know the design of your application?

Re: Using GWT for front-end code only

[Blake McBride]

Thanks.  I am aware of SOP so that shouldn't be a problem.  I got what you
mentioned working easily, but it actually led to a different problem as
follows:

The main screen of this app I am working on has a standard div along the
left border, and a standard div on the top border of the screen.  The
remaining portion gets replaced by state dependent UI code.  There are
about 500 different ones!  Each has its own layout, logic, and REST
services.  Naturally I can't compile that into one big JS file.  I'd like
to code the standard parts in one JS file, and each of the remaining 500
screens each in it's own JS file.  This way I can edit/compile and load
each separately.  Can and how can I do that?

Thanks!

Blake

Re: Using GWT for front-end code only

A compiled GWT app is just HTML + JS, so nothing special. That means you 
can simply upload it to a web server and it will run. However you need to 
take care of the same-origin-policy restriction in browsers when doing your 
REST requests to the backend. How you do that kind of depends on how you 
plan to deploy the frontend and how the backend is deployed and reachable.

Using GWT for front-end code only

[Blake McBride]

Greetings,

I have used GWT in the past to develop an app that uses GWT for both sides
and it worked great ( booklion.com ).  I now have a need to develop a
different application that needs a new front-end to work with an existing
back-end, communicating via REST. I would like to use GWT to develop that
front-end but I don't know how to generate / deploy a GWT front-end only.
Can I do that with GWT, and if so, how?

Thank you!

Blake McBride
