Hi jamer, GWT is a great toolkit for building somewhat large-scale Ajax applications. I imagine that a virtual store would fit into that category, so seeing if GWT is a good fit for your project is probably a good idea. You can see examples of applications that were built with GWT in the GWT Gallery (link below).
GWT Gallery: http://gwtgallery.appspot.com/ The number of pages that compose your application as well as what each page represents and does is completely up to you. The advantage of using Ajax techniques to build your web application is faster response time by avoiding full-page fetches for each user action, and therefore keeping the number of pages to a minimum and simply updating the page through JavaScript code that manipulates the DOM. That said, you should probably try to keep the number of individual pages to a minimum and use GWT to create and bring up various display panels for the sake of a better user experience. You can also use GWT for specific widgets in an existing page, but you're not going to get as much benefit in such a scenario, and might be better off using a JavaScript library that provides only that widget that you need or want. If the widget you want to add to your page is somewhat complex, then GWT can be a good option to implement it. I recommend checking out some of the online samples and their source code (in the samples directory in your GWT distribution). That should give you a good idea of what GWT development looks like and how you can start building your own application using the toolkit. Showcase sample application (see source in distribution): http://gwt.google.com/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html Hope that helps, -Sumit Chandel On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 8:59 AM, jamer <jameragui...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi group > > I would like to make a virtual store and have some questions > Is it a good idea to do it all in GWT? > Do I believe all as a single page or several? > Do I believe in another programming language and use GWT for only > specific widget? > How can I do that when you click each option to load a module in the > middle of the page? > > Thank you!! > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
