I'm exploring using GWT for future work and for a project I'm looking at now I'm particularly interested in the Grid widget. The GWT Grid just doesn't compare to that provided by SmartGWT, but I'm concerned about using the SmartGWT libraries for several reasons:
1) It requires taking the whole library whole and it doesn't do things in really the same way that GWT does in many cases. 2) I'm concerned about browser compatibility since it relies on JSNI calls to the Smart Client library and not the Java->JavaScript transformation provided by GWT. 3) I'm concerned that by using the SmartGWT library I will be increasing the load time of the application since it will require downloading the entire library again. So what I would really like is a grid control that has a similar feature set as that provided by SmartGWT, but doesn't come with all the extra baggage. Does such a widget exist? Is there at least a JavaScript grid that can be used with GWT that doesn't come with all the baggage of SmartGWT? Am I wrong about the disadvantages to using SmartGWT? Is it a better choice than I have been led to believe by my research? Thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
