Command Pattern with Grails GWT Plugin
By dgirard on Tuesday 1 September 2009, 15:16 - GWT Article
Peter Ledbrook :
One ready-made implementation of the pattern for GWT is the gwt-dispatch library. I considered integrating this into the Grails plugin, but its server-side components weren’t really suitable for a Grails project. Anyway, I wanted to write something myself so I could better understand what the implementation should do. The result is the plugin’s new action framework, which you can test out with an intermediate release of the plugin.
GWT IDE Selection
By dgirard on Tuesday 1 September 2009, 08:19 - GWT Article
Eric Burke :
I’m starting a new GWT project at work, so I wanted to select the best IDE for the job. I installed the very latest versions of these IDEs along with their respective GWT plugins:
Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo)
NetBeans 6.7
IDEA 8.1
Eric, you should try GWT Designer, it is by far the best GWT IDE.
GWT 2.0 first stab at RunAsync
By dgirard on Tuesday 1 September 2009, 08:17 - GWT Article
Chris :
With the new GWT 2.0 (due to be released this year?), they have add a couple of great features. The one I’m most excited about from a users perspective is RunAsync (aka code splitting). To quickly recap, this feature will split a GWT application into multiple developer controlled (split points) downloaded files. We are reworking our internal GUI architecture and have decided to use the unreleased GWT version for development. Our largest application before compression (with obfuscation) is weighing in around 1.4MB. That’s pretty hefty for downloaded javascript files.

MediaBeacon - powered by GWT
By dgirard on Monday 24 August 2009, 10:39 - GWT Article
cmswatch.com :
Part of the issue, says Bright, is the fact that Flash requires a plug-in -- it's not a browser-native runtime (any more than Java is). He adds: "Things like AJAX and HTML, driven by powerful libraries like Google Web Toolkit, allow apps to have just as much power as Flex, without replacing the web browser's native rendering capabilities." Plug-in technologies, Bright seems to be suggesting, do not steer the direction of web development. And historically, that's certainly been true.
In DAM, Flashy does not always mean Flex
GWT for large application via example (Guice, MVP, command, event bus)
By dgirard on Monday 24 August 2009, 09:18 - GWT Article
hivedevelopment.co.uk :
Here at Hive Development, I'm currently working on the GWT based UI for a new website/RIA monitoring service called SiteAlright. I recommend you head over and check it out. As you might expect we try to follow best practises when developing our apps and there's been quite a lot of talk recently on GWT Google Groups regarding the use of elements from the recent talk by Ray Ryan at Google I/O 2009.
The HelloWorld is very long : you should use all these best practices only if you build a large application.

GWT Portlets
By dgirard on Thursday 20 August 2009, 16:48 - GWT Article
GWT Portlets is a free open source web framework for building GWT (Google Web Toolkit) applications. It defines a very simple & productive, yet powerful programming model to build good looking, modular GWT applications.
The programming model is somewhat similar to writing JSR168 portlets for a portal server (Liferay, JBoss Portal etc.). The "portal" is your application built using the GWT Portlets framework as a library. Application functionality is developed as loosely coupled Portlets each with an optional server side DataProvider.

Here is a nice contribution of Ray Cromwell to GWT compiler
By dgirard on Wednesday 19 August 2009, 09:15 - GWT Article
Ray :
Recently, I've been studying ways of reducing the download size of Javascript applications produced by Google Web Toolkit, while preserving or improving startup time. There are a number of ways to do this, the first of which is to transform Javascript code into a form that is naturally more succinct, while eliminating unused code, or deferring the load of some code until later.
...
Instead, I was drawn to a reversible transform the browser already includes support for: gzip compression, and decided to ask the question: what effect does the large-scale structure of the JS output code have on the DEFLATE algorithm of GZIP which is used to serve up compressed script? The answer it turns out, is substantial.
Ray is really impressive.

DTO-Anemic Domain Model and GWT
By dgirard on Saturday 15 August 2009, 11:51 - GWT Article
Sanjiv Jivan :
In this blog I'd like to discuss an age old problem that almost all developers and architects face when building client-server applications - whether it's a web based RIA technologies like GWT or a client-server Swing applications :
How much data to send to the client?
This is a frequently asked question on the GWT forums and its really a hard problem to come up with an elegant solution.

GWT and Browser refresh button
By dgirard on Saturday 15 August 2009, 11:46 - GWT Article
javier :
There's plenty of documentation regarding the handling of the browser's back button with GWT's History tracking. I understand the concept of mapping a String token to a specific application state.
Does GWT provide a mechanism to notify the application whenever the user clicks the browser's refresh button? (ie the equivalent to History.addValueChangeHandler() for the back button).
I like the answer from Ian Bambury.
