I'm a big GWT fan, never done much with javascript and don't really want to! It's just a personal preference, not wanting to start another java vs javascript thread ;-) . Sounds like your coming from a java desktop background, there's a bit to learn, but it's pretty straight forward.
Tim's right, GWT and App Engine are completely different bits of the puzzle. GWT is all client side browser stuff, App Engine is server side. All the HTML/javascript code on my site is static, it isn't dynamically generated on the server. No, not even the URLs the app requests data from change. You probably want to look at the REST architecture concept, it basically states that the client should manage state (not the server). I use the JSON format to transfer data from the client to the server and back again. This is done using a variety of HTTP requests, GET for requesting data from the server, PUT for changing server data. Eclipse works really well for GWT projects, and if you install the PyDev project it does a pretty good job with app engine too. I use the same workspace for both client and server code. There really is an awful lot more too it, strongly suggest having a look at some of the great app engine tutes. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/gettingstarted/ On Mar 17, 8:36 pm, Coonay <[email protected]> wrote: > Gwt featurs really attractive:quickly build and maintain complex yet > highly performant JavaScript front-end applications in the Java > programming language,and Test your code with JUnit.The example mail > page is really awesome. > > As a many years java progammmer,it's not hard to get into gwt,but the > app engine is a different web environment,the static page can be > served to browser directly, > the hype link in the geranated html are needed to change accordingly. > > could you give me some idea how to make they 2 work together > effective and productive?thanks so much --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
