Didn't read that you already have a web server that talks HTTPS.
If you want to use the "recompile on reload" feature of GWT 2.7+ then a
special *.nocache.js file will be generated that has a hardcoded HTTP url
that you can not change and thus you have to live with the mixed content
warning of browsers. In Chrome you need to use google-chrome
--allow-running-insecure-content to allow mixed content again.
If you are fine with using the legacy bookmarklets of SuperDevMode you can
make your setup work with SSL, although it is a bit of work:
1.) create a custom linker outside of your client/shared/server package
that allows SSL
public class SslCrossSiteIframeLinker extends CrossSiteIframeLinker {
@Override
protected String getJsDevModeRedirectHookPermitted(LinkerContext context) {
return "$wnd.location.protocol == \"https:\" || $wnd.location.protocol ==
\"http:\" || $wnd.location.protocol == \"file:\"";
}
}
2.) create a new sslapp-DEV.gwt.xml file for your app that you use during
development and allows HTTP, HTTPS and any host name / IP. Do NOT use that
module descriptor for a real production compile!
<module rename-to="sslapp">
<inherits name='com.example.SslApp' /> <!-- the module used for
production compiles -->
<define-linker name="xsiframe" class="linker.SslCrossSiteIframeLinker" />
<set-configuration-property name="devModeUrlWhitelistRegexp" value=
"(http|https)://(.*)(:\d+)?/.*" />
</module>
3.) Compile that dev module using the GWT compiler and store the output in
a dedicated folder. I'll reference this folder using DEV_APP_FOLDER.
4.) Let your local web server listen on 127.0.0.1:443 and 127.0.0.1:9876
and create a SSL enabled vhost for each. The vhost of 127.0.0.1:443 should
point to DEV_APP_FOLDER so you can launch your compiled app through SSL and
the vhost 127.0.0.1:9876 should redirect everything to your GWT CodeServer
that should run on a different, local IP (e.g. http://192.168.1.100:9876).
Using Apache this could look similar to:
Listen 127.0.0.1:443
Listen 127.0.0.1:9876
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
# your compiled app
DocumentRoot "DEV_APP_FOLDER"
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/localhost-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/localhost-access_log" common
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/apache.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/apache.key
<Directory "DEV_APP_FOLDER">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:9876>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot "/some/tmp/folder"
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/localhost-codeserver-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/localhost-codeserver-access_log" common
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/apache.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/apache.key
# proxy everything from https://127.0.0.1:9876 to CodeServer running on
http://192.168.1.100:9876
ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.100:9876/
</VirtualHost>
5.) Start DevMode / CodeServer using -bindAddress 192.168.1.100 (your
host's ip address)
6.) Visit https://127.0.0.1:9876 and you should see the CodeServer as the
SSL connection is proxied to the non-SSL CodeServer. Put the bookmarklets
in your browser bar.
7.) Visit https://127.0.0.1/sslapp/index.html (or similar) to launch your
compiled app of step 3.)
8.) Hit the DevMode On bookmarklet, copy the Compile bookmarklet to your
browser bar as well and then hit compile. Your app should compile, reload
and fetch your JS from the CodeServer now, through SSL.
The above might contain minor issues, but I guess you get the idea and it
should generally work.
