Gregor, I was able to get around it by what Joe Cole mentioned above by just overwriting the GWT applications generated web.xml. It works fine. I even created a subdirectory called lib under WEB-INF and put my third party server side JARs there. The seems the way to go if you need to start up si

Hi Gregor, We don't hack the web.xml in the jar file, but that's a good idea! Obviously the only pitfall is when gwt versions change or you checkout on another computer and gwt overwrites the web.xml - you just have to remember to update it. Our structure of the tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB- INF direc

Oh, I see now what Joe's done. Hack the web.xml in the gwt-dev-xxx jar. Make sure to do it again when you upgrade GWT versions. That's a cool way to get round it. On Jan 7, 1:36 am, gregor wrote: > Hi Scott, > > If you want to use features like this kicked off from web.xml then you > probably ne

Hi Scott, If you want to use features like this kicked off from web.xml then you probably need to run hosted mode with the -noserver option. You cannot access and modify web.xml for hosted mode embedded Tomcat. To run using -noserver efectively you just need an Ant build file you can easily run f

To answer my own question. It works fine with existing web.xml file. Just copy them over the generated file as mentioned above. On Jan 6, 6:42 pm, "sjn...@gmail.com" wrote: > It's great we got this figured out, but how come GWT hosted mode > doesnt work with exisitng web.xml files so we dont hav

It's great we got this figured out, but how come GWT hosted mode doesnt work with exisitng web.xml files so we dont have to code special configuration for development and production deployment? Scott On Dec 12 2008, 4:26 pm, Joe Cole wrote: > Oh, and in your web.xml's that you ship to your prod

Here is our way: In: tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml jdbc/dbsource javax.sql.DataSource Container com.yourcompany.LocalConfiguration The only gotcha with this is that when you upgrade gwt it changes the web.xml - we just revert it from version control and all works well. Th
