Hi all,

I just made a working proto framework on top of GWT and SmartGWT that
allows, among other things, to take an application offline using "save
as HTML page...".

This works fine with Firefox and Chrome and I think even Safari, so I
would like your opinions on the subject.

The use-case to take the app offline:

1) the user at some point clicks on "take application offline".
1b) the user gets a zip file downloaded to be extracted anywhere (no
need to be local admin). This is for image and resource issues and is
needed only one time per machine.
2) the user use the "save as..." feature of the browser and saves the
page into the root folder of the zip extract.
3) the user opens the file locally (with a url file:///something) and
the application runs fine.
4) the user can save this offline work anytime by using "save..as"
again.
5) the user can commit changes to the server by going to the online
site and uploading the local file.

No need for a local HTTP server, nor a database.
Of course you have to handle in your AJAX GUI the online/offline cases
and "read from DOM cache" instead of RPC.

Thanks for your comments.
