Re: Integration with GWT
To integrate GWT and Tapestry, we're using separate projects in Eclipse.
One for GWT code (uses Ant as build tool) and the other for Tapestry (Maven
based).
I looked at maven-gwt a few months back and I decided against using it,
because it didn't seem easy to use, give a big enough benefit for learning
it and it appeared to be in experimental stage.
We build the projects into .war's
Project 1 (GWT) --> project1gwt.war
Project 2 (Tapestry) --> project2tap.war
The public/project1gwt.html file is embedded in a tapestry .tml page (within
a template).
To pass parameters from Tapestry to GWT, the values are embedded in the
Tapestry page in:
345
GWT (1.5.2, this code varies between versions) can then extract those using
String value = RootPanel.get("entityID").getElement().getString();
To test (integration test level), we use JBoss 4.2.2, which gives dynamic
.war reloading (unlike plain Tomcat) and good logging out the box.

Re: Integration with GWT
We integrated GWT in Tapestry in a basic but effective fashion. Tapestry does the "single click then display page" stuff and GWT does the interactive application functionality. We treat GWT and Tapestry as separate projects, so the integration is light. Tapestry has a template page wrapper around the GWT html page. GWT receives a few parameters encoded in the starting HTML page (rather than trying to extract out of the http session). I would be interested to hear where you get to on your tighter integration plans and what works. Szemere
Re: Integration with GWT
I'm trying now to implement next idea. We have on the same page simple Tapestry components with AJAX actions (like ActionLink or a Form with zone attribute). On the same page there are components that are, let's say, GWT-enabled. Second ones contain a link to your GWT module and HTML elements that will be picked up by GWT and used as widgets. We also have Tapestry filter and GWT's RemoteServlet derived class registered in web.xml. The core of the idea is to have Tapestry send and process its own AJAX requests and save results to Session (luckily it can be done in several lines of code). GWT will process its own AJAX requests and use the same objects from the session. The real trick here is how to make GWT component to update itself when something has happened in pure Tapestry component. The only way how to solve this problem I see now is to add javascript listener to every AJAX component in pure Tapestry components. These listeners will push GWT components saying "update yourself" and they will update. But the problem is how to be sure that these listeners will be always called only *after* Tapestry AJAX is completely processed. If implemented, this can allow at least use in GWT components data submitted from Tapestry component. Does anybody have an idea, how can Javascript function be implemented just after Tapestry AJAX call processing?

Re: Integration with GWT
I am also interested in a basic but complete tutorial on using GWT in T5. Anyone want to share some sample setup/source code or give some pointers?

Integration with GWT
Hi, I use T5 in my project as main web framework. The project itself is a sort of simple web GIS, based on Google Maps. There is great widget library for GWT to serve Google Maps with all their AJAX stuff, so I decided to use it also. Please, give me some information whether it's possible to integrate full lifecycle of GWT component with T5 as main framework? What I actually need is to be able to share some objects between Tapestry and GWT, but without page reload. So my GWT component should make its RPCs as usual, but these calls should be made after pressing button in Tapestry component and information should be got from that component too (@ApplicationState may be, but how to integrate it with GWT?)
