Hey Unnur, You're right, gwt doesn't have access to the initial HTML page, but I wonder if it'd be possible to build a linker to make that dynamically generated page. Doesn't the linker have access to what gets generated in the nocache.js? Theoretically you could just output a simple HTML page that includes its contents.
Then again, if this server side selection is coming soon (gwt 2.2?), building this linker won't make much sense. Thanks again for all the info!
